U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.
The officials’ decision to keep information from Mr. Trump underscores the deep mistrust that has developed between the intelligence community and the president over his team’s contacts with the Russian government, as well as the enmity he has shown toward U.S. spy agencies. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump accused the agencies of leaking information to undermine him.
In some of these cases of withheld information, officials have decided not to show Mr. Trump the sources and methods that the intelligence agencies use to collect information, the current and former officials said. Those sources and methods could include, for instance, the means that an agency uses to spy on a foreign government.

Think about it for a minute.
Why not use the left to portray the left as stark raving mad?
The more the MSM runs with nonsense, the more they lose.
Amen. This is going to be a tough job. Time for me to go clean my tools.
More lies.
Because Trump creating this chaos on himself is non-sensical. He doesn’t need to beat the press, he merely needs to enact his agenda. He’s not into political subterfuge, he’s into accomplishments.
Drain the swamp!
IC traitors bump for later....
She’s been posting mocking comments on Twitter lately.
“Funny how Senators Schumer, McCaine and Graham, the Deep State, the DOJ, the FBI, and the regular Intelligence Community had no problems with Hillary selling 24% of the US’ uranium reserves to Russia, or her ILLEGAL unsecured server, or Obama communicating with Hillary on that server. “
Comment of the day.
..... So they just release it to the press for safe keeping?
yeah I’m gonna start getting a little frustrated at what I see as almost no fighting back against this coup
It sounds tough, but I ask you. What would happen if a Navy carrier Captain didn’t agree with some ordered air strikes he was being told to launch, so he refused to tell the president his location?
He would be facing prison, and in some cases a death penalty.
Interesting idea. And it has crossed my mind as well.
After all, he successfully used the MSM all through his campaign, for free advertising; by saying things that got their attention, infuriated them, offended them, intrigued them, he got free air time.
I wouldn’t be disappointed if this were so, and if this could catch a whole lot of rats and traitors and foreign agents within our government.
But it seems unlikely.
“This has to stop Trump is the president. He HAS to get in control of the depts. If it takes jailing people on national security charges so be it”
Rinse Priebus is emasculating President Trump....
We might end up needing martial law to clean up this mess. We can’t allow the government to be in rebellion from it’s lawful ruler.
While the same spies leak everything damning about Trump to the media..
Are they providing the information to Pompeo and the other Trump appointed intel chiefs? This sounds like a mutiny.
She is more elusive then Bigfoot. Perhaps one in the same
If true, then time to fire, arrest, cease assets, interrogate and charge with maximum penalty of the law these traitors and collaborators.
