U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.

I hated Obama but I would never ever be OK with intelligence not sharing intel with him

He is the damn president for crying out loud.

Boy, that's a relief. I can't even count how many times the CIA and NSA have had integrity and have bailed out the average American citizen / SARCASM

It's telling that liberals read this as an indictment of Trump, as if the IC has any goddam right to spy on and keep secrets from the duly elected commander in chief.

There not spies, they're bureaucrats. Trump could fire them all tomorrow and nobody would be able to tell the difference

What if, and I'm just spitballing here, Trump really is comprised and the intelligence community knows it but doesn't have a strong enough case to go public yet? Is that possible?

Why show your hand when you have absolutely nothing?

It's called a bluff, bub.

Anything is possible. What's far more possible is there are some butthurt bureaucrats who work in the IC doing menial tasks making shite and leaking it to a media that absolutely despises Trump. Or they're leaking some pretty inconsequential shite and the media is spinning it to make it look like Trump is a traitor. That's like 10,000X more likely than your spitballing.
