Another silly question: Why would Putin collude to put in power a man who will modernize US nuke forces to the tune of $400bn?

And promised to do so during the campaign.

Today, long after the CIA/NSA/FBI leaked the confidential DIPLOMATIC and sensitive phone calls between Trump and Mexican Pres Nieto, and the PM of Oz …we now read

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.

The officials’ decision to keep information from Mr. Trump underscores the deep mistrust that has developed between the intelligence community and the president over his team’s contacts with the Russian government, as well as the enmity he has shown toward U.S. spy agencies. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump accused the agencies of leaking information to undermine him.

In some of these cases of withheld information, officials have decided not to show Mr. Trump the sources and methods that the intelligence agencies use to collect information, the current and former officials said. Those sources and methods could include, for instance, the means that an agency uses to spy on a foreign government.

Of course the NYT reports, no evidence of collusion has been reported with Moscow, and since the transcripts (which could be presented as a work of fiction or not) or the tapes were not leaked (FELONY, as was the leakers format), it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the IC is LYING TO THE BOSS – they all report under the executive dept.

I have stated several times that the ‘experts’ at the CIA, the management are not as accurate in recommending actions and paths as to be trustable. This INCOMPETENCE or lying to cover their asses results in an executive which, if competent, and especially if OUTSIDE THE POLITICAL CLASS, would remove many from positions of power (and $).

And here we are.

Therefore I recommend a course for the president (ANY PRESIDENT)

Reagan fires 11,000 striking air traffic controllers Aug. 5, 1981

Trump should immediately order the full disclosure of any and all information he wants to himself and those he designates.

Anyone who refuses is on strike.

He should be prepared to ignore and deflect the wave of crap to come, and possibly to remove down to the handler level, and analysts level EVERYONE he needs to at CIA/NSA/FBI. If these GS-XX’rs cannot be simply fired, it’s off to the faraday cage bldg.

FARADAY CAGE BUILDING:

A structure which blocks all transmissions in or out, with no internet, cell phones, desks, computers or CPU’s allowed, no TV’s radios, or music players, and only cubicles and chairs.

A place where you report to work at 8AM and leave at 5PM.

This will no doubt CRIPPLE our efforts to some degree. But we will not be as crippled as we are under the present course of INTENTIONAL POLITICAL CHAOS, (which may be Putin’s real intention using the CIA as a DUMB FRICKIN’ TOOL)…..

as the CIA and NSA now attempt do at home what the CIA has been doing for years overseas

FIRE THEM.
