re: Trump planning on scaling down powers of the Director of National Intelligence

White House officials said Mr. Trump will be briefed on the hacking report as soon as it is ready. White House officials have been increasingly frustrated by Mr. Trump’s confrontations with intelligence officials.
“It’s appalling,” the official said. “No president has ever taken on the CIA and come out looking good.”
Among those helping lead Mr. Trump’s plan to restructure the intelligence agencies is his national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who had served as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency until he was pushed out by DNI James Clapper and others in 2013. Also involved in the planning is Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.), who Mr. Trump selected to be his CIA director.

Mr. Trump shares the view of Lt. Gen. Flynn and Mr. Pompeo that the intelligence community’s position that Russians tried to help his campaign is an attempt to undermine his victory or say he didn’t win, the official close to the transition said.
Mr. Flynn will lead the White House’s National Security Council, giving him broad influence in military and intelligence decisions throughout the government. He is also a believer in rotating senior intelligence agencies into the field and reducing headquarters staff.
Current and former intelligence and law-enforcement officials have reacted with a mix of bafflement and outrage to Mr. Trump’s continuing series of jabs at U.S. spies.
“They are furious about it,” said one former senior intelligence official, adding that a retinue of senior officials who thought they would be staying on in a Hillary Clinton administration now are re-evaluating their plans following Mr. Trump’s election.
So did this senior official just admit (inadvertently) it is politicized?

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.
You shitasses are ridiculous. He will merely root out the left wing trash obama inserted to politicize those agences like he did all the others.

They aren't reevaluating. They're about to get fired for interfering in a presidential election.

He was pushed out for continuing to use the term radical Muslim terrorists after they were instructed to not say it.

Yeah the CIA has no business being in charge of shite. I don't trust those cutthroat careerists to collect the instructions for cooking ramen noodles.
I want DOD to take over all intelligence and form a national S-2. The CIA and is out of control. We need to put their arse in the rehab room for 50 years or so.

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
The FBIs collection in US domestic terrorism cases, and thus their ability to "stop terrorism" is not in danger at all.
And the FBI is constantly tooting thier own horn about stopping planned attacks. Usually right after they sell live explosives to some kid and then give him the blueprints to a building. But hey, a win is a win!

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.
moving "analysts" out of Langley into worldwide field offices...not weakening, more human intel assets in the field is strengthening
