Intelligence officers sabotaging Trump campaign
American Thinker ^ | June 3, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

I think this is outrageous. Mark Hosenball of Reuters reports:

Some U.S. intelligence officials are concerned that Donald Trump's "shoot from the hip" style could pose national security risks as they prepare to give him a routine pre-election briefing once he is formally anointed as the Republican presidential nominee.

Eight senior security officials told Reuters they had concerns over briefing Trump, whose brash, unpredictable campaign style has been a feature of his rise as an insurgent candidate. Despite their worries, the officials said the "Top Secret" briefing to each candidate would not deviate from the usual format to avoid any appearance of bias.

Most of the officials asked for anonymity to discuss a domestic political issue.

Obama administration officials are anonymously attacking Trump. They anonymously tell the media that Trump would "pose national security risks."

No comments on Clintons many failures as Secretary of State. These Obama people have done a terrible job in their government positions.

So the administration thinks that when Trump wants to secure our borders and stop coddling our enemies that’s a threat to our national security???? Whose side is the administration on?

taking down Syria, Libya..getting our guys killed and not even supporting them..creating ISIS and causing a mass invasion of Europe and sparking the murder of Christians worldwide is just the kind of thing the CIA must see as great progress and stability

Has the media vetted the eight senior security officials? Are they hacks put into the Obama regime?

I seriously doubt that genuine security officials would publicly state something that cannot really be supported.

Pure politics.

They should be more concerned about Hillary's use of an unsecured server for State Dept business if they were really worried about leaks.

Typical Leftist garbage. They think they are so smart and they don’t believe they’ll ever get caught. I believe that Trump is both smarter than they think and less forgiving that GWB, Elder Romney and John McCain.

These creeps will be looking for new jobs by next February. Trump will fire their arrogant butts. This is what I men when I say that the left is correct when they say Trump is petty. He doesn’t let little stuff slide like they are used to with Republican adinistrations and I think that is a good thing. He ought to fire anyone hired during the Obama administration

I think what they might really be worried about is his reaction as president to the level of nonsense going on behind the scenes, stage-managed to keep it from us plebeians, because if they were truly honest people they would be more worried and vocal about the exposure of state secrets from an unsecured server in the hands of the Clinton crime family.

Hillary already has a FAILED WAR under her belt and Syria is another.

Obama campaigns by BLAMING THE WRONG PERSON. He deliberately takes what is wrong on his side and blames the other side with it (Alinsky tactics).

Who can say whether any agency people said anything to anyone? That presumes that what is reported by the MSM actually occurred, and Reuters doesn’t report anything that isn’t faxed over from the White Hut.

The anonymous alleged officers are making noises that sound omho suspiciously congruent with the latest hillary narrative that trump is “unfit” to be president. How convenient (snl church lady meme here)

This is bs reporting. Ohh, and look, it flows into Hillary’s current meme on Trump.

Good information, good analysts and sound leadership leads to good outcomes. Trump has a proven record of sound and successful decisions. Democrats, across the board, do not.

I still can’t believe the democrats are hitting with foreign policy, their weakest asset.

The left is all about “breaking down barriers” for their so-called progress. But when anyone else tries to change things, it’s all-of-a-sudden “risky”

Amazing. The Democrats are all about ‘transference’. Superimposing their problems onto the Republicans.

Trump is dangerous on Foreign relations (Hillary is far more dangerous).

Trump is a Security risk (Hillary is the proven security risk).

This election cycle is about Big money, Big influence and power. Expect anything and everything from the Progressives.

Well, eighty anonymous intelligence officers told me they have NO concerns about Trump but fear that Hillary and Bernie are non compos mentis.

“Eight senior security officials are compromised”

And ignorant of the full scope of their duties.
