Spies Keep Intelligence From Donald Trump

U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.
The officials decision to keep information from Mr. Trump underscores the deep mistrust that has developed between the intelligence community and the president over his teams contacts with the Russian government, as well as the enmity he has shown toward U.S. spy agencies. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump accused the agencies of leaking information to undermine him.

Funny how Senators Schumer, McCaine and Graham, the Deep State, the DOJ, the FBI, and the regular Intelligence Community had no problems with Hillary selling 24% of the US’ uranium reserves to Russia, or her ILLEGAL unsecured server, or Obama communicating with Hillary on that server.

Can he just fire everyone at the CIA like Reagan firing the Air Traffic Controllers? They WERE all compromised by the Muslim Seditionist, Zerobama.

Seems to me that it’s the intelligence operatives that are doing the leaking. Time to purge the swamp.

I’m waiting to see if a suspect or suspects are ever named. It’s gotta be narrowed down pretty small by now as to who had direct access to that telephone recording.

Criminals in Action. A good many could likely be subject to Ricco charges for following orders under the Clinton/Obama regime.
