Great move. Just more beuracracy.

It's time to abolish the CIA, NSA and FBI and create some kind of National Alliance Party that takes over those duties.

Love it. In fact, just get rid of it. You can ditch the DHS while you're at it.

Wow. He is trying to weaken America. I thought it was all just a bunch of bull hysteria. If he weakens our national defenses, he should be called to account.

With rallies to discuss policy issues. We have to break new ground and think outside the box.

If the CIA never existed they couldn't have supplied and trained a young Osama bin Laden and his Mujahideen.
This would have saved the US $6T in total war spending from 2001-2016

Any way to access full article or give some more detailed quotes?
Scaling down powers of the director doesn't necessarily mean he would be weakening our national intelligence gathering capabilities. Could it simply mean more checks and balances among the intelligence communities?

In the midst of a dispute with the IC about foreign influence in this election, his first real target in the federal government is ODNI.
This is perfect. Let's restore the Director of CIA as DCI and head of the community. Should be terrific.

It's obvious Trump has no respect for our institutions. The CIA/FBI have been responsible for preventing hundreds of terrorist attacks, we just don't hear about them. And now Trump wants to cripple their ability?

The Intelligence community should not be done away with. How they have been used..... SHOULD be corrected.

It's all about delegitimizing and discounting every source of information, and proclaiming that only he can be trusted. Sets him up to be impervious to criticism or charges of various improprieties. Sadly it appears to be working like a charm.

WASHINGTON—President-elect Donald Trump, a harsh critic of U.S. intelligence agencies, is working with top advisers on a plan that would restructure and pare back the nation’s top spy agency, people familiar with the planning said, prompted by a belief that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has become bloated and politicized.
The planning comes as Mr. Trump has leveled a series of social media attacks in recent months and the past few days against U.S. intelligence agencies, dismissing and mocking their assessment that the Russian government hacked emails of Democratic groups and individuals and then leaked them last year to WikiLeaks and others in an effort to help Mr. Trump win the White House.
One of the people familiar with Mr. Trump’s planning said advisers also are working on a plan to restructure the Central Intelligence Agency, cutting back on staffing at its Virginia headquarters and pushing more people out into field posts around the world. The CIA declined to comment on the plan.
“The view from the Trump team is the intelligence world [is] becoming completely politicized,” said the individual, who is close to the Trump transition operation. “They all need to be slimmed down. The focus will be on restructuring the agencies and how they interact.”

Get rid of the DHS, DEA, IRS, EPA, HUD, BLM, put all of them on the border working security.

But, but, "17 National Security Agencies" won't be able to bust the Russians if we get rid of some!
