31. It is actually a larger issue than just the CIA report. An alledged president elect of the

United States refuses to attend security briefings. Delegates it to his VP. Publicly trashes our intelligence gathering agency, without even reading the data himself, and proceeds to make false accusations about the CIA regarding the WMDs in Iraq, when it was the Defense Intelligence Agency, DIA, not the CIA which said there were WMDs in Iraq, along with others in the bush administration.

Michael Flynn, Trump's National Security Advisor, should send warning alarms all over the the place. He has very questionable ties to Putin, and celebrated Putin's propaganda network, Russia Today:


"a rugged-looking man in a tuxedo who less than 18 months earlier had been head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s powerful in-house equivalent of the CIA. Michael Flynn, now a private citizen after a reportedly disgruntled retirement, was not there to gather intelligence. His attendance at the RT gala, before which he also gave a talk on world affairs, appeared to inaugurate a relationship with the network—presumably a paid one, though neither Flynn nor RT answered queries on the subject. Flynn now makes semi-regular appearances on RT as an analyst, in which he often argues that the U.S. and Russia should be working more closely together on issues like fighting ISIL and ending Syria’s civil war. “Russia has its own national security strategy, and we have to respect that,” he said in one recent appearance. “And we have to try to figure out: How do we combine the United States’ national security strategy along with Russia’s national security strategy, despite all the challenges that we face?”
