That had to be a preemptive strike, no way Trump and his people are that stupid, if they are we are in big trouble.

I legitimately think there are those who will seek to undermine the administration from within (from careerists). But Trump pretending he doesn't need the IC is just idiotic, just as it was idiotic to ignore the loud yelling about Flynn.

Compare Flynn with the response to Mattis or Pompeo.

It was a preemptive strike. But I think they misunderestimated the dirt their opponents had on them. They didn't plan to discredit the IC knowing it has some damaging info. They do that because it's their default.

Set up a narrative about a group that's populist and anti-intellectual (the narrative, not the group). Any responses from those groups can then easily be defended, whether it's "fake news" or data or really anything. "That's exactly what we expected from them."
