I'm a Democrat (and ex-CIA) but the spies plotting against Trump are out of control
FOX News ^ | February 18, 2017 | By Bryan Dean Wright

Posted on 02/22/2017 7:04:13 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Multiple reports show that my former colleagues in the intelligence community have decided that they must leak or withhold classified information due to unsettling connections between President Trump and the Russian Government.

Said an intelligence officer: “I know what's best for foreign policy and national security… And I'm going to act on that.”

Some of us might applaud this man, including a few of my fellow Democrats. In their minds, this is a case of Mr. Smith Goes to Langley to do battle against a corrupt President Trump.

One small problem. The intelligence officer quoted above was actually Aldrich Ames, a CIA traitor whose crime of treason in the 1980s and 1990s resulted in the compromise of more than 100 assets. Many were tortured and executed as a result.

Ames’ flawed logic is eerily similar to that of his present-day colleagues who are engaged in a shadow war with their commander in chief. They, too, have decided that their superior judgment is more important than following the law.

For the sake of argument, however, let’s assume that these officials are somehow different than Ames. Let’s suppose that they have compelling pieces of information that indeed suggest Trump or his staff have committed treason.

When you’re trained as a spy, you’re taught how to handle these kinds of situations. . .

Trump has been far more level-headed than Obama was in his last 60 days, seemingly pushing for war between the U. S. and Russia.

This B. S. about withholding information is nothing more than that.

It’s just pure B. S.

Okay, I was wrong. It is more than that. It’s should be an actionable crime.

This was one of the rarest of times that a Democrat actually brought honor to his party. It was hard to believe he was even a Democrat! wow.

Why doesn’t Trump keep using the ax? He probably is.

You can’t dismantle an entire network without having pieces to replace it, no matter how flawed and even possibly traitorous the current folk are.

He is working quickly and now that the shadow govt 7th floor of the state dept is gone, those at the CIA may think twice about what they do.

They are losing allies FAST.

The time to strike and overthrow has come and gone largely, imho.

When dems are talking about getting rid of Trump on mental grounds, you know they’re toast.

When shmucker (he with the slutty niece comedian) starts dreaming out loud about the republican house turning on Trump, you know they’ve lost the fight.

The market value of what our IC is selling, compared to what the private sector is collecting and analyzing, is inferior.

They’ve hubrised themselves out of the market.

Your mileage may vary, grain of salt, etc.

Too “iffy” and disturbing to post as it’s own thread

“Hubrised” - it’s a verb. I like it. Thanks for a neologism.

Make no mistake, the left is attempting an insurrection.

keyword 'insurrection'

Scroll through the titles there for four or five pages and see if you think that's all due to leftist sputtering about their loss.

The following is also an excellent read on what the left is currently engaged in.

Trumps’ critics, left and right, aim to bring about the cataclysm they predicted.

This guy has courage. He’s really worried about what’s happening.

May God bless and keep him safe.

When you’re trained as a spy, you’re taught how to handle these kinds of situations. . .>>>>>>>>

And it usually involves a .22 caliber semi-auto handgun with a silencer.

Or a small quantity of Semtex.

Imo, the whole “Russian” thing was consciously and purposely created as a red herring.

What they’re terrified of is the pizzagate investigation when it gets going.

For a lot of people in the fedzilla, the only hope they have of survival is for the Trump admin to be pulled down and a complaint regime put in its place.

When your only job is collecting intelligence and selling it to the American people in order to keep them safe but jihadis and cartels continue to have the upper hand, your services are no longer required.

Something doesn't square with me when I hear a well spoken smart person, especially one who was CIA, say they are a democrat.

I just can't trust a person who talks of law and order and supported Hillary Clinton.
