Trump Vows Major Changes to US Intelligence if Re-elected

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.

What INTEGRITY???????

[Reverend Wright]

It wasn’t the intent, but when Churchill got fed up with the failures of MI6 and set up Special Operations Executive, the primary “war aim” of MI6 became getting rid of SOE (which they achieved when Labour was elected in 1945).

Also, Saddam dealt with possible loyalty issues with his intelligence services by creating new rival services.

And they spent most of their time spying on each other.

The USA may have 16, or whatever, intelligence services but Trump should create another and get them all fighting amongst themselves.

"undermine the integrity of American intelligence."

The only way to do that is to start digging a shaft and then stoping under the Marianas Trench.

The infighting of Brit intell agencies cost some WW2 agents their lives.

“US Intelligence” lol is that what they call corrupt cabals now?

[TigersEye]

... they issued a warning that the potential purge might "undermine the integrity of American intelligence."

Integrity?

[TigersEye]

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.

A faction of what? Left-wing militia groups who get together on Saturdays to practice marching and shooting? Let 'em, it's a free country.

[Newtoidaho]

The ONLY major change that would make a difference would be to FIRE THEM ALL and start over.

I LIKE IT.

[Maris Crane]

Who was that one guy who came forward and told what was happening.

I think his name was Rogers.

THAT’S WHO HE SHOULD CHOOSE TO LEAD THE SO CALLED “INTELLEGENCE COMMUNITY>”

WHAT A JOKE NAME.

[PGR88]

the potential purge might "undermine the integrity of American intelligence."

They have no integrity, and they are evil as hell

purge away.

“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.”

I remembered this, something that obvious has disappeared down the memory hole for msm, and I suppose it has never been properly investigated.

How Clinton’s Negligence and State Department Incompetence May Have Burned Dozens of CIA Assets

Remember, HRC, was SecState when this happened, and she used her unsecured e-mail server.

[Ignatz]

Sounds like the Intelligence Community is scared.

Good! I hope they soil their panties a dozen times a day for the next five years!

So true!

If you haven't done it, you must read "BETWEEN SILK AND CYANIDE" by Leo Marks.

They will form a secret underground terrorist organization.

They will have to be destroyed like MS-13 in El Salvador.

[Waverunner]

Unlike the faction they have formed now against the people they don't like politically.
There's a game based on those factions.

[DeplorablePaul]

I hope Trump purges the CIA, DOJ and FBI of Islamo Commie infiltrators on day one. It’s easy. Fire anyone appointed by Obama and Biden in the first wave. Then Trump might want to fire everyone he appointed. RINOs snuck a lot of lemons by him.

[Gaffer]

First thing he should do is instruct the DOJ to prosecute Comey, Brennan and Hayden for treason against the United States.

[Sirius Lee]

But if they're out of the government, they'll work together and organize a faction.

They already have - antifa. Better to deny these scumbags taxpayer funded ops and technology with which to coordinate. And remove their qualified immunity.
