It's very foolish for Trump to publicly mock our intelligence agencies

like he loves to do. What's his endgame here? Why would he side with Vladamir Putin over the men and women who risk their lives every day to protect this country?

Another point...why would he want to piss these people off like this? I would think the CIA is last organization one would want to publicly humiliate for no reason. These people could make your life miserable and very difficult. There's no telling what they could leak out on him (or anyone else)if they wanted to.

You think the Intel folks are going to give him fake intel after he's in office?

Look the Intel folks told W point blank.......DON'T INVADE IRAQ and then after the dumbassery W and his admin blamed the Intel folks for 8 fricking years but no one talks about that shite.

Sounds admirable.

We'll, Shepard, I think you are confusing the appointees you see on stage with the actual "men and women who risk their lives." I know 3 FBI agents (which is only one of the 17 services, granted) and they hope Trump blows the whole thing up and starts over.

So is it your opinion that the CIA is off limits to criticism because they may leak something about you? So we shouldnt attempt to hold them accountable in any open forum?

Why should anyone listen to the left on what is "foolish" to say after this last election? Really.

The heads of these departments, who trump is correct in disparaging, haven't risked so much as a summer vacation for "this country".

They are Bureaucrats and careerists that are political appointees for no reason other than their willingness to support the partisan hack TPOS that we call the president. That has nothing to do with Obama either, as all the presidents are huge sacks of shite, not just him.

So by your logic Trump, even as President, should fear the CIA so much as not to criticize them because they are more powerful than he is?

How about this instead. The CIA works for Trump and the People of the US. If someone within the CIA doesn't want to work for Trump they can quit. If they want to reveal Classified information they can rot in jail.

BTW, why are you acting like the CIA hasn't been heavily criticized by Presidents and other politicians for years? At most you are debating tone.

You do realize Trump has been in contact with contractors who do actual intelligence work for the agencies, right? Trump's sources for his stances come from within the agencies. What the public hears isn't coming from the people doing the work in the intelligence world. The people are hearing what political appointments have to say publicly after they have been directed what to say by the shadow government.

Don't believe in the shadow government? The FBI dump specifically disclosed FBI admitting they were answering to a "shadow government."

Go back to the campaigns, how many times did we hear from those who risk their lives every day, off the record, that what they were discovering & reporting was not what was being told to the POTUS? Point being, those in the field know what has been going on. The issues are at the top of the chain of command, and that is who Trump is distrusting. Do you really think the head of the CIA is not an Obama flunky? etc etc etc

Navy,

Let's say I know of a federal employee that wastes taxpayers money all day...where would I report that?

Is there a whole department somewhere that makes sure that federal employees don't waste the taxpayers money?

TIA
