"SNIP......

Former CIA Director John Brennan has sounded the alarm about the Trumpadministration’s alleged interference in the operations of US national security. 

Speaking on Friday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mr Brennan referred to “a virtual decapitation of the intelligence community”.

His comments follow reports that Donald Trump had deliberately interfered in the work of the intelligence community by attempting to prevent the flow of intelligence to Congress and by removing key figures from their leadership roles and replacing them with loyalists.

He referred to a report in The New York Times that says last week members of the House Intelligence Committee were briefed that Russia is actively meddling in the 2020 election in order to keep Donald Trump in office.

1. The intelligence community

Won't stand up for its mission. They fear 45's power. They won't save themselves, or us.

They don't have the guts.

[Nay]

2. He "sounds the alarm"? For whom? Who does he think is going to fix this?

It's pretty bad when all our leaders and managers are running around, wondering what to do about rampant lawlessness. The intel community -- don't they have dossiers on everyone? Time to start strongarming the wrongdoers.
