For all anybody knows he could have orchestrated them himself! Unvetted, undocumented, and horribly unprofessional.

That is really a good way to frame this: One needs to look no further than John McCain for this attempted assassination of a President.

What I want to see next is McConnell removing McCain from all leadership posts in the Senate, else resigning because he won't. Maybe Senate should take up censure of McCain, Rubio, and Graham?

Should “intelligence” organizations be constantly calling attention TO THEMSELVES like the current crop of drugstore cowboys do? All my life, until recently, it was understood that “undercover” agents strove mightily to MAINTAIN their cover. Now they constantly shout, “Hey! Over here! Looka’ me!”

“”I expressed my profound dismay at the leaks that have been appearing in the press, and we both agreed that they are extremely corrosive and damaging to our national security,”” Clapper said.

I still don’t know why the term “leaks” is applied to anything except ACTUAL, FACTUAL, REAL information. If something is released that is NEVER supposed to see the light of day - TOP SECRET - super ultra secret - confidential - I would define it as a “leak”. Revealing the existence of the A Bomb before 1945 would have been a “leak”....

I really don’t know the proper definition of blabbing about a bogus/phony report but it doesn’t seem like it’s a LEAK!

Another thread — very new — reports that Jeb! paid Steele to set this up to take down Trump.

If true, then there’s no doubt Clapper was involved, considering the Bush 41-CIA connection.

Clapper apologized!

Oh, goody, now those images of hookers pissing on Trump and the bed that Barack and Michael slept in, are now totally wiped from my mind.

The Intel agencies, like the other alphabet agencies, are like orchards that haven’t been pruned for 25 years.

The pranksters misspelled Manafort three different ways and the intels fell for this garbage? This is humorous but also profoundly disturbing that the people who are supposed to be protecting us are such fools.

Obamabots tend to behave the same way Bammy does.

The only acceptable practice is to identify, charge, convict and jail all of those who've leaked classified info. This isn't the first time leaks against DJT have gotten to the media. What has been done up to this point?

The only way to drain the Intel swamp is to TOTALLY drain the Intel swamp!

Trump, once again showing that our Intelligence agencies have been compromised by politics. I look forward to the day our Intelligence community is no longer lead by Leftists, promoting whatever ‘fake news’ Obama wants promoted.

Are our 'intelligence services' recruiting among journalists and college professors? It appears that way.

Have 'intelligence services' expanded their power to set themselves up as more powerful than our elected officials? This looks more threatening than a simple 'mistake'. A simple but threatening 'leak'...that comes across as a threat of more to come...like a mobster commenting on a person child in the process of a shakedown.

Everyone in DC from Morning Joe on up and down has expressed concern that Trump better make friends with the CIA thugs or they will damage him.

Does that sound like 'intelligence services' that work FOR the President? Not to me. Not to anyone.

"Leaking" to control elected officials is waaaaaaay beyond 'being political' - - it's being quisling - being 'traitor' - being unlawful and it undermining the Constitution.

Trump needs to drain the swamp - STARTING WITH ALLIGATORS.

And NO Clapper, you're not believable - you're a liberal elite pushing one political party over another. That's NOT your job. Never was.

Clapper briefed “policy makers”? What an odd choice of words, as that could include all of Congress and many more.

The tenture of Bush senior as CIA chief, with his loyalty to the TriLateral agenda of a new world order should be your first clue that Intel will never be ‘free of politics’ and that the ones leading these agencies are neither republicants or democraps, they are globalist sycophants.

Yup! And they should be investigated for their crimes, tried, convicted, and lose all pensions!! Anyone who takes the 5th, should be immediately hauled off to jail. (Yeh, I know, can’t happen.) But when the heads of these agencies conduct themselves in a treasonous manner to this country and us, they should not be afforded such protections.
