Intelligence Community 'Quite Upset' Over Trump's Comments About Briefing
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Col. Steve Ganyard said Donald Trumpās comments about his classified intelligence briefing this week troubled some in the intelligence community, saying, āOur friends in the intelligence community were quite upset to hear that sort of talk.ā
āI think if there was any discomfort, it was not signaling any personal preference or policy. It was more because they understood that what they were saying might be used against them in a way that was untrue,ā he said, in response to Trumpās claim that his briefersā body language revealed their frustration with President Barack Obamaās leadership.

Ganyard, who attended classified briefings while working at the State Department, joined this weekās episode of the āPowerhouse Politicsā podcast with ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl and ABC News political director Rick Klein to discuss Trumpās inflammatory comments about his latest intelligence briefing and possible ties to the Russian government.
Ganyard, a retired colonel and fighter pilot in the Marine Corps and current ABC News contributor, said that a reportedly heated exchange between Gen. Michael Flynn, who was at the briefing as a Trump adviser, and the intelligence officers, in which Flynn was allegedly verbally restrained by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, was probably more about the level of the analysis rather than the analysis itself.

I would be very concerned that any secretive information given to Comrade Trump would end up in the Kremlin. Trump's butt buddy, Vlad is just waiting for Comrade Trump to enter the WH.
