CBS News is reporting President Donald Trump shouted at CIA Director Mike Pompeo after hearing news stories that the intelligence community is withholding information from him.
According to previous reports, intelligence operatives were said to be holding back the information because they believe any information given to Trump will find its way to Russia.
Our Intelligence Community is so worried by the unprecedented problems of the Trump administration not only do senior officials possess troubling ties to the Kremlin, there are nagging questions about basic competence regarding Team Trump that it is beginning to withhold intelligence from a White House which our spies do not trust, wrote former analyst for the National Security Agency Jack R. Schindler.
The Director of National Intelligence flatly denied this was happening and Pompeo released a strongly worded statement saying the same.

Actually I could see them doing that with any candidate/president elect.

(26,291 posts)late 90s would be a good one to test it with because if there is a leak then you should see sudden surge of troops looking for the bogus devices.
no doubt they have already done that
Start the OSS style disinformation now and see where it leads.

(13,904 posts)Actually the US Navy used this same ploy against the Japanese Navy on the attack of Midway during WW 2. The US Navy knew the Japanese Navy was going to "AF" but did not know where "AF" was. They had a good idea it was Midway but could not prove it.. So using a scientific wild ass guess (SWAG) they sent a bogus radio signal from Midway that the water purification plant broke down. The Japanese Navy intercepted the message and passed it on to Admiral Yamato's fleet heading to Midway that the water purification plant was down and bring one along...
The US Navy set up a trap and the rest is history...
I hope history repeats it's self again with this asshole...
History lesson over

(24,289 posts)It's the information that is being withheld from our intelligence agencies by our own allies because they don't want it getting to the Russians through you.

(13,904 posts)And with all intelligence agency's, they are very adept at lying... It's part of their tool kit.. So when they say "mr prez we would never leak info to take you down because you disrespected us" is prolly a lie...
Like you said.. payback is a bitch..

(18,652 posts)think about it: Donnie was going down after the nomination. Clearly he was losing. Then in rides Comey with his story about HRC new emails found on Weiner's laptop. GOP congresspeople may have provided help.
I wouldn't doubt it if Turtle, Hatch, Chaffetz et. al helped Russia with hacking. Certainly would explain why these R traitors won't even slap Donnie's hand for his campaign ppl talking to Russia for a year during campaign.

(6 posts)He's in for a drawn out war. He says that he "doesn't have to hear the same thing every day" in regards to intel briefings. He's called for his big whig finance buddy to investigate the intelligence agencies. Trump wants to shape the intel agencies into what Trump thinks an intel agency should be. It's not going to work.
