Incarceration at Gitmo? These are enemy combatants, after all. And they don’t even have to be Muslim.

Good, and it needs to be very public. Long sentences in a very rough prison, not one of those white collar prisons.

Trump needs to bulldoze through that section of the intel apparatus and threaten 2 dozen people with 10+ year sentences. The time for subtle moves is over. This is the height of seriousness, a de facto saboteur wing in intel cannot be tolerated.

The fact that he is being a little more vocal today about this tells me he may have some plans in the works. He’s been quiet the last few days, hopefully that is because he’s been working up a strategy.

White House Plans to Have Trump Ally Review Intelligence Agencies

He’s gonna merge agencies. Cerberus is a big playa, merged Safeway & Albertsons, for example, a couple years ago.
