"He will die in jail": Intelligence community ready to "go nuclear" on Trump, senior source says

‘He will die in jail’: Intelligence community ready to ‘go nuclear’ on Trump, senior source says



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/he-will-die-in-jail-intelligence-community-ready-to-go-nuclear-on-trump-senior-source-says/

In a series of tweets on Tuesday and Wednesday, Trump insisted that the “real scandal” was not that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn lied about his contact with Russia. Instead, the president blasted what he said were “un-American” leaks that led to Flynn’s ousting.

On Wednesday, former NSA intelligence analyst John Schindler provided some insight into the reaction of national security officials.

“Now we go nuclear,” he wrote on Twitter. “Intelligence community war going to new levels. Just got an email from senior intelligence community friend, it began: ‘He will die in jail.'”

“US intelligence is not the problem here,” Schindler added in another tweet. “The President’s collusion with Russian intelligence is. Many details, but the essence is simple.”

45 needs to be taken down! I sincerely hope that the intelligence community IS taking this to new levels and will help our country! God knows the Republican co-conspirators have no intention of doing anything.

This is what will bring him down. Not Congress, although they will be the direct instrument. Not the courts, although they will be involved. The intelligence services will bring him down.

The career spooks have spent their lives defending this country. They know how to sit on shit if need be, but they also know how to topple tyrants.

There are some hardcore patriots in the IC, who risk their lives and so many will never get the recognition for it (I am reminded of the speech President Obama gave when addressing the CIA in 2009).

The idea that this bumbling circus peanut and his administration is putting the lives of not only themselves, but their colleagues and American citizens in danger will be the breaking point.

And they can also take down anyone who stands in their way.

This method of leaking a threat just doesn't make sense for the NSA.

Seems to me that the story this leak and threat is trying to create makes no sense as the real story. I keep asking myself, what is the real story? A tweet war? Really?

The NSA is too experienced and wily to suddenly start talking and acting like the Trump team itself. What is all this?

Twitter has turned the news media into a minefield of bullshit - especially online news. I'm sorry to say that this sounds like unverified garbage meant to generate clicks rather than inform.

guys that he was going to remove all sanctions ASAP. That's why he didn't mention this for 3 weeks after he was briefed about it and even lied about being briefed on it. He thought he could sweep it under the rug and no one would know, like he is used to doing. He's such a freaking moron, doesn't realize how under the microscope he is now, lies about and dogs the Intelligence Community for a year then thinks they will always cover for him just because Comey was willing to lie about Clinton to sway the election. HA!!

K.A.R.M.A. will be served when he's impeached or in jail, may it come soon.

I guess he shouldn't have pissed all over the IC. Last guy to do that didn't end up alive for very long. Trump is just the type of stupid to keep pushing it.
