In a report released on Monday, Politico talked with 18 intelligence professionals, including a number of former Trump appointees who subsequently became vocal opponents of the president, and they issued a warning that the potential purge might "undermine the integrity of American intelligence."
According to a former senior intelligence officer, "Trump plans to go after the intelligence community." "He will begin the procedure again, having begun it before. The procedure includes punishing and removing individuals.
Trump detractors said that the next president would replace "those viewed as unfriendly to his political agenda with inexperienced supporters," as Politico put it.
Former acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell and his assistant Kash Patel were the two individuals particularly mentioned; Patel was instrumental in the declassification of documents pertaining to the beginnings of "Russiagate."
Politico admitted that the notorious memo alleging that Russia "interfered" in the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton was the reason for Trump's animosity against the intelligence community. It cited former FBI officer Andrew McCabe defending the appendix's "Steele Dossier," which was created by a former British spy and paid for by the Clinton campaign using cut-outs, as just being a matter of due diligence.
The FBI kept using the dossier to spy on Trump's campaign and administration even after they soon discovered it was bogus and who paid for it.
Trump's potential purges, according to a number of unidentified individuals, may endanger "sources and techniques" used by US spies and erode the confidence that US allies have in Washington—confidence that the Biden administration has worked so hard to restore. A diplomat from an unidentified NATO member state had called Trump's reelection and the real cleaning of the US administrative system a "doomsday option" back in December.

Yes he did...and that source is not private. It’s his nephew and he’s running for president.
The US IC needs to be phoenixed, it does.
Yes, he did. This is the highest-stake poker game Trump could play and the one most necessary for the country, but it’s also the one most likely to get him killed.
Threaten the “integrity” of these corrupt partisans.
Nobody trusts you dinosaurs anymore, John Brennan.
This is exactly why DJT needs to choose an equally committed VP. Someone the Deep State also fears, and hates.
Otherwise, I fear he’s in great danger of being “ eliminated “.
I meant the original source of the supposed Kennedy CIA quote, which I have looked into.
They will probably JFK him. He needs the best security ever. Pure scum now run our former nation.
Trump Vows Major Changes to US Intelligence if Re-elected

Well, I would hope so. This organization has been in need of a good culling for quite some time.
“In a two-year period starting in 2010, Chinese officials began accurately identifying spies working for the US.
Chinese authorities rounded up the suspects and executed or imprisoned them before their handlers were able to determine what was going on.
“You could tell the Chinese weren’t guessing,” one of the US officials said in the report. “The Ministry of State Security were always pulling in the right people.”
“When things started going bad, they went bad fast.”
.......About 30 spies were reportedly executed, though some intelligence officials told Foreign Policy that 30 was a low estimate.”
Could he do much worse just picking random names out of a phonebook?
We'll have to deal with unemployed federal agents.
Right now, they support the government. But if they're out of the government, they'll work together and organize a faction.
Otherwise, I fear he’s in great danger of being “eliminated “.

Yes, excellent point!

Good idea, but WHO???
*This is exactly why DJT needs to choose an equally committed VP. Someone the Deep State also fears, and hates.*
Point to Rand. Anyone else could be Manchurian. Like Pence. Not true but what do you expect?
“Kennedy was even once quoted in a New York Times report, by an anonymous source said to be a trusted aide, as saying he wanted “to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds,” following the Bay of Pigs.”
That was the death warrant JFK signed. It looks very similar to Trump’s.
