For the liberal media, it's not enough to ensure that President Trump leaves office. They also want to cast the gravest kind of doubts about him, literally suggesting that he could be a bought-and-paid-for spy for foreign adversaries!
On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and NBC News national security correspondent Ken Dilanian made these accusations:
"National security sources say . . . Donald Trump fits the profile of a classic counter-intelligence risk."
A former Bush official says "Donald Trump may well sell secrets . . . some foreign country will put Trump on retainer."
And in the most extreme statement of all, Dilanian floated this scenario:
if Joe Biden assigns an FBI counter-intelligence team to monitor Donald Trump, imagine that how would that would go over. That might be the right move in this situation!

That's like competing in a beauty contest where the judges declare "nobody won."
When Olbermann threatened all Trump supporters with retribution after the election he edged out Scarborough but Joe is straining to catch up. Sick stuff.
And NO ONE in the MSM will say that these wild, anonymous accusations were made “without evidence.”
What secrets?
Dementia Joe and Hunter have already sold all US secrets to the Chinese, long ago.
Clearly, TDS is a real thing...because these people are completely deranged.
Yeah, a guy worth billions is going to sell secrets. Yeah, sure. On top of the fact that said guy is about 1000x more patriotic than the idiots claiming this.
The FBI does not have that authority. And Trump can declassify anything he wants and I mean anything. He is the final, unlimited, unquestioned final classifying authority.

Joe Scarborough Ken Dilanian MSNBC Morning Joe 11-30-20JOE SCARBOROUGH: With us now, state attorney for Palm Beach county, Dave Aronberg, and also NBC News correspondent covering national security and intelligence, Ken Dilanian. And Ken’s latest piece is titled, “When he leaves office, can ex-President Trump be trusted with America’s national security secrets?”
. . .
It seems the only thing more dangerous than this president in office with classified secrets, but also maybe even more dangerous when he leaves office. And he contains classified information, a wealth of classified information, that he can either pass on to other people, sell to other people, trade to other people. It certainly is going to make things more difficult for the intel community, isn’t it?
KEN DILANIAN: It sure is, Joe. And what my national security sources say about this is that, look, Donald Trump fits the profile of a classic counter-intelligence risk. He’s deeply in debt, and he’s mad at the US government, particularly the intelligence community.
And so, you have people like former Bush administration official Jack Goldsmith openly speculating that Donald Trump may well sell secrets. Goldsmith told he he’s worried that some foreign country will put Trump on retainer to try to get the information in his head. Because as we know from the New York Times reporting, Donald Trump is more than $400 million in debt, he’s personally guaranteed that debt, and that debt is held by a foreign bank with ties to Russian oligarchs.
. . .
Let’s stipulate that there’s really nothing we can do about the information that’s in Donald Trump’s head. But what my sources are saying is that he should not be afforded the traditional courtesy of classified briefings once he leaves office . . . He may never ask for these briefings, but if he does, Joe Biden’s going to have a decision to make, Joe.
. . .
SCARBOROUGH: It may not be as simple as him going on retainer for another country. This is a guy who’s been desperate to get his company into Russia, desperate to get his company into China, desperate to build towers across the world. Who knows — I think it would be reasonable and rational for intel — the intel community to be concerned that this guy could trade information through a third party to be able to get — start building a tower in a country that wants, desperately needs information from the United States that they can’t get. Except they could get it from a former president. So what in the world could be done?
DILANIAN: Well, I’m not sure what could be done. I mean, if Joe Biden assigns an FBI counter-intelligence team to monitor Donald Trump, imagine that how would that would go over. That might be the right move in this situation!
Shmoe is a Comcast thug.
this Morning Joe character has made a career out of broadcasting more and more insane remarks with each and every passing day
he gets paid really a lot too
$$$$$$$$$
where was my high school counselor on this? she never told me about this super rich and easy career path!
These people are on drugs.
Clinton “lost” the Los Alamos hard drives with nuclear weapon designs. O-butt-head gave the chicoms orbital launch capability via Space Systems/Loral.
President Dr. Trump is like the character ,Snowball, in Animal Farm. EVERYthing gets blamed on him after he tries to expose that the pigs are in cahoots with the Farmers. Even after Snowball mysteriously disappears, the pigs blame events on him. And most of the animals are gullible enough to believe them. Stupid animals.
Hey Joe, the national security risk is the one that just stole the election.
Joe and the rest of the crew might want to learn from history what happens when the Communists take over. All the turncoats are eliminated simply because they could turn again.
Mess with the bull and you get the horns. Just saying.
Joey is mental and just makes crap up to bitch about.
Oh, he is much less of a risk, especially when you consider that Obama appointed a communist as head of the CIA (Brenan)
