The CIA’s War on Trump

by Cliff Kincaid on December 12, 2016

You couldn’t fault Donald J. Trump for concluding that the CIA is out to get him even before he starts his presidency. Former CIA officials Michael Morell, Michael Hayden and Philip Mudd have all denounced him. Plus, former CIA operations officer Evan McMullin ran against him as an independent presidential candidate.

Obama’s director of the CIA is John Brennan, who recently disclosed that he voted for the Communist Party (CPUSA) ticket when he was in college. He was hired by the CIA anyway and quickly rose through the ranks, even though the CPUSA was funded by Moscow and known to provide cover for Soviet espionage activities.

The liberal media haven’t made Brennan’s disclosure into a scandal and didn’t call for any investigations of Obama’s CIA.

Clearly, having an “intelligence” connection doesn’t mean you are intelligent or have good judgment. Making “America First” is not a requirement for serving in the CIA and other intelligence agencies. You can have numerous skeletons in your closet and even be a transgender. If you have any doubts, consider reading the CIA’s “Diversity and Inclusion Strategy (2016-2019).” It is Brennan’s masterpiece.

The line-up of former CIA personnel opposing Trump sounds impressive, except when you consider the fact that the CIA has a habit of getting things wrong. The late Democratic Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a former vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, once declared that “for a quarter century, the CIA has been repeatedly wrong about the major political and economic questions entrusted to its analysis.” Moynihan had introduced a bill to abolish the CIA. The late Lt. Gen. William Odom, then-director of the National Security Agency (NSA), said the CIA should be disbanded.

"President Bush’s problem was that he failed to clean house in the Intelligence Community before the war.

The American people have been saddled with an Intelligence Community that is full of what are called “insider spies.” The situation is so bad that a special paper has been published about a novel new way to deal with traitors. The idea is to provide a “safe refuge” and a secret process of “reconciliation” for them without threatening long prison terms or the death penalty. In this manner, the American people would hear nothing about spies being arrested and the damage they have done.

We know that the media picked sides in the presidential contest. Now we are seeing more evidence of how the CIA picked sides, to the point of engaging in what is an obvious effort to bring down the Trump presidency even before it begins."

Brennan should have been arrested Day 1, his communications seized and all Obama commissars in CIA and NSA purged.

“It is significant that The Washington Post, owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, broke the story about the CIA allegedly concluding that the Russians had somehow meddled in the U.S. elections by hacking into Democratic Party computers. The CIA has a $600 million contract with Amazon Web Services.”

The problems with the CIA go back for decades. President Kennedy wanted to completely eliminate the Agency.

As others have noted, Flynn shouldn’t have lied to Pence. But the frightening issue here is that a private citizen was spied upon by the U.S. Government, and his conversation was transcribed and circulated. That, my friends, is something the media should be furious about.

Recently a whistleblower law was passed to make it easier for those in the FBI and CIA to be whistleblowers. Was this in anticipation of a war against Trump?

There are a number of people in the CIA, NSA, IRS, and FBI that need to be identified, tried, convicted, and summarily shot as traitors.

FBI Eavesdropped Flynn-Russia Phone Call, Find Nothing Improper

Wochit Headline News

A U.S. intelligence official said, the FBI eavesdropped on telephone calls between President Donald Trump’s national security adviser and the Russian ambassador but found nothing improper.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. They said late Monday that there was never a formal “investigation” of the calls in December between retired Army Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn and Sergei Kislyak. Kislyak is Russia’s ambassador in Washington.

Donald Trump is not a naïve man.

Gotta admit, I am sort of stunned that he did not hit the ground running on Day One with a plan to purge the agencies of all the traitors.

Obama is behind it too. He’s running his shadow government.

There is nothing scarier imo, then an out-of-control intelligence agency, with the right and ability to spy on anyone at anytime for anything and then selectively use or leak that information for its own self-interest - thus deciding who will and will not be president....but apparently this is what the democrats want.

I believe Trump thought he could meet with the Intelligence Community, particularly the CIA, and charm them into compliance by praising them and stressing his admiration for their work. The effort was unsuccessful. Trump must take a very hard line approach to these people because they are a most dangerous part of the obstructionism that is actively working to destroy his presidency.

The liberal infestation of the IC is just part of a larger problem within the entire federal government. Anyone who has ever worked for or inside a federal agency knows that there is a prevailing negative attitude towards Republicans and/or anyone who has conservative views. The atmosphere borders on outright hostility.

Conservatives learn to remain silent lest their careers are irreparably damaged.
