Trump threatens the operations of American intelligence agencies

[Sandy Shanks]

It never ends with Trump. Its like he is reliving his days as a TV reality show host. Before flying off to Japan, he just had to start another crisis.

This one is dead serious if he gets his way. He is threatening the operations of our intelligence agencies, thereby threatening our national security.

Did everyone understand that. The President wants to threaten our national security.

What is the basis of this crisis? Trump says, he wants to know how this "witch hunt" started, this "hoax," referring to the Mueller report. He says it was "an attempted coup, or an attempted take down of the President of the United States." He wants to know how this "spying" operation began during the 2016 Presidential election.

Trump creates his own reality. We all know that by now, even his supporters, and he has a very convenient memory.

During the 2016 Presidential campaign, the FBI directer, James Comey, let it be known that one candidate was under suspicion and was being investigated. Comey reopened the investigation of this candidate eleven days before the election, which contributed to that candidate's defeat.

The candidate's name was Hillary Clinton. Benefiting from Comey's largesse was President Trump. During the election, Comey did not reveal that Trump, too, was being investigated. Yet Trump makes the outrageous, totally unsubstantiated claim that the FBI and CIA were involved in "an attempted coup, or an attempted take down of the President of the United States."

Trump has ordered all major US intelligence agencies to assist Attorney General William Barr in his review of surveillance issues surrounding Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, delegating significant authority to Barr to declassify sensitive intelligence materials as the attorney general sees fit.

Barr has already illustrated his powerful bias toward Trump, and this gives Barr the power to be very selective as to what intelligence he declassifies. Of course, Trump knows that.

But so do we.

The real danger is that Trump's decision is likely to reveal sources and methods to our enemies and put operatives at risk, American and others.

For example, there is the person close to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia who provided information to the C.I.A. about his involvement in Moscow’s 2016 election interference. The concern is the source, who is believed to be still alive, may not continue in that state much longer because of the President's decision.

Sources and methods of intelligence gathering — among the government’s most closely held secrets — could be made public because the President has determined it suits his political purposes.

Much of the intelligence our agencies garner comes from the intelligence services of friendly nations. Britain, Australia, Japan, France, and Israel to name five. Their sources and methods are now endangered by Trump's order. It is quite likely that they will not be quite so cooperative in the future due to that order.

Once again, Vladimir Putin is quite pleased with Trump's performance.

So basically another liberal thread got it.

Barr has already illustrated his powerful bias toward Trump

But AG Holder's bias toward Obama was no big deal am I right.

Boris Yeltsin could only wish to have the liberals in power today. Not that it isnt dangerous that the FBI, CIA and NSA were all covertly trying to do a silent coup on this country and its people? No, not dangerous at all, it has now set a precedence that should I run for president and win, I will systematically have my agencies spying on every damn liberal and if I find just one thing that is unlawful, throw their asses into jail, or worse try them for treason and execute the whole sorry mess of em. Just my opinion.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

The ONLY thing Trump is threatening is the freedom of a Bunch of traitorous scum that tried to commit the first successful coup in US History.

 

[Rambunctious]

It was a coup....everyone knows that now...some refuse to admit it but it was an attempted coup by the Obama national security agencies...and if this was a just nation that didn't lie to itself they would all go to prison....

The enemies of the American Republic.

 

[badger2]

OP's claim is that a source close to Putin leaked info to the CIA. The damning link to the Clintons is the same link in Michigan to both British MI6 and the CIA. There is no escaping this link which resolves the ambiguity twixt variations of media propaganda over the Russian question and the Steele dossier. The Steele dossier was a design of both the Clinton crime family and British MI6.

It wasn't a problem to provide transparency regarding the sources and methods involving interrogation of terrorist to allow "we the people" to decide if we support such methods.
The same needs to be done with the sources and methods that lead to an investigation of an elected president accusing him and others of being spies for Russia that turned out to be wrong.
