Intel experts worry Trump will go rogue © Getty President-elect Donald Trumps skepticism of the Intelligence Communitys findings on Russian election interference has raised fears among experts that Trump will bypass intel analysts and demand that his personal team conduct its own analyses of raw data.
Tossing aside career analysts can create false conclusions, critics warn like the George W. Bush administrations incorrect assessment that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).
The risk is that you request raw data to support a conclusion and you avoid seeing anything that contradicts it, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told The Hill. We can already see we have a president-elect who has difficulty with facts that are at odds with the narrative that he wants to tell or diminish his achievements.

While the months long debates were underway in the UN, the WMD were trucked out to the Bekka Valley and on to Syria. By the time the invasion happened the WMD were long gone - moral: never give your enemy months notice before the attack ...
Isn’t “Bo” the name of Obama’s dog? (the one he hasn’t eaten)
“Bo” stands for “Blonde One”
Or maybe “Barack Obama”
David Rockefeller warned Saddam many months before to get them out, that we were coming.
It seems all the problematic heads in the IC are the ones that $1/yr law might apply to. They can’t get jobs in the private sector, or they’d be there, unless they’re getting rich off the intel they come up with.
Oh no....he won’t listen to the government “experts” who missed the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the collapse of the Soviet Union. the attack on 9/11, and various terrorist attacks by foreigners on American citizens?
I’m certainly happy that he has confidence in his own security agents.
>We should team up with Russia to create a safe zone in Syria<
.
I understand that Russia is withdrawing from Syria because they’re running out of money — the Syrian affair is too expensive for them.
#42 The same bumbling goofballs that were warned atleast twice by Russia about the Boston Bombers but failed to act?
False news?
IOW, he’ll be the puppetmaster rather than the puppet.
Great idea.
Difficulty with facts?
Like Islamic terrorism isn’t a fact?
Like black on white crime isn’t a fact?
Like illegal immigration isn’t problematic?
Like voter fraud is non existent.
Oi Vey
Correct Title - Rogue Intel Agents worry Trump won’t go Rogue.
Translation: Intel “experts” are worried Donald Trump is smarter than they are and will see through their attempts to create false “facts”
Prayers for The Donald.
His cabinet is sharp, strong, and trustworthy. They should keep him safe, along with those good Americans already employed in the SS, FBI, etc. I think he will restore the ethics, and the good ones in those agencies will help him CLEAN THE SWAMP.
By saying he's going rogue hese intel thugs are setting the stage to assassinate him.
And we’re supposed to believe a RAT from CALIFORNIA?
Not me.
I read the story at the source.
Basically those Intelligence “Experts” are highly-partisan democrat Californian (who are very Anti-Trump) House Rep, Schiff, and a former Ted Kennedy staffer, Mieke Eoyang.
Oh, and Obama-appointed James Clapper.
Just MORE fake news, trying to diminish the upcoming Trump administration, like the Russians tried to diminish Hillary, no?
When does The Hill get sanctions? I mean, messing with our democracy and all!
Every time that they bring up Trump’s lack of faith in the “Intelligence Community”, he should answer this way:
“I have great faith in the hardworking techs and analysts in the intelligence communities, what I have been shocked at is the failure of management and leadership in these agencies. I don’t think techs and analysts created the WMDs in Iraq, these were the products of leadership. I don’t think techs and analysts missed 200 truck convoys hauling oil to Turkey, this was the product of leadership. I don’t think techs and analysts directed bombing in Syria against empty buildings instead of ISIS for two years, that was the product of leadership. And the list is endless. Luckily for the US, we will be replacing this “leadership” with non-political competent people.”
But you miss the big story the media is selling...
When Dubya Bush believed the CIA’s phony Intel it was because he wanted to get revenge over Saddam because Saddam tried to kill Pappy Bush, oh, and the oil companies and Halliburton.
When Donald Trump does NOT believe the CIA’s phony Intel it is because he loves the Russians and wants to be the evil dictator Putin’s bitch. And he’s sexist, racist, xenophobic, and homophobic.
You mean they want the tail to wag the dog?
