More scare tactics using 3rd party justification from “former” intelligence staffers.

The intent of this types of articles is nothing new.

Ha, right. Any direction whatsoever that you could point the intelligence community towards, would be a less politicized direction.

Eff bee eye raid on MAL. Roger Stone having frogmen sent to raid and arrest him. J6 attendees still being illegally held without due process. 51 former and current intelligence members signing a bullshite psyop letter. Hussein Soerto tapping Trump's phones. Seth Rich. Hunter's cocaine in the White House.

Yeah, that's not a politicized community at all.

The unintended irony with which they write these stories is breathtaking to behold

The attacks on DJT are politically motivated. Democrats always accuse other people of what they are doing. I’m praying that DJT returns to the White House. He doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected so he can clean house

Former top officials from Donald Trump’s administration are warning he is likely to use a second term to overhaul the nation’s spy agencies in a way that could lead to an unprecedented level of politicization of intelligence.

They never fail to accuse Trump of doing the shite they've already done.

America’s spy agencies are never completely divorced from politics. But an overhaul of the type Trump is expected to attempt could undermine the credibility of American intelligence at a time when the U.S. and allies are relying on it to navigate crises in Ukraine and the Middle East. It could also effectively strip the intelligence community of the ability to dissuade the president from decisions that could put the country at risk.


So the intelligence community essentially wants to run the country with no checks and balances? They don't like Trump because he doesn't roll over and do whatever they tell him to do.

How many times has the intel community screwed up in the last 60 years and gotten a pass?

Bay of Pigs
Iran-Contra
WMD in Iraq
Benghazi
Afghanistan withdrawal

And these are just the ones I know of

Remember the saying that "there is no such thing as former KGB"? Now, apply that same standard to "former" US intelligence agents.

Let me guess…. 51 former senior intelligence officials wrote this?

Good. Two thirds of them need to be fired anyway, and the remnants consolidated into a revamped CIA and a combined military intelligence agency.

Having 4,519 different “intelligence” agencies is absurd and rife with administrative bloat.

Everyone is a former intelligence official.

Cleaned ash trays at Langley in the 80’s? Intelligence official.

Served as the deputy under assistant secretary for alpaca farming in Peru during winter? Now you’re an Intelligence officer with knowledge of the administrations policy in South America.
