Do the Intelligence Agencies have the low down on Trumpistas' ties to Russia

Inquiring minds want to know.

But think about it.

The intelligence services know that there are lots of friends of Vlad in Trump's orbit.

They know that the Vlad personally directed an act of war against the US to hurt Clinton, aid Trump, and disrupt democracy.

Some tough minded person in the intelligence service MUST have asked the question whether Trump was in any way involved.

Remember the computer in Trumps campaign headquarters that was directly attached to some bank, I think it was in Russia. -- per the New York Times) Add to that that Trump has been dissing the intelligence service since he was first briefed on this back in October. All this would be sure to raise some hackles and raise some questions and motivate them to look beneath the surface.

Call me crazy, but I think this goes way deeper then it first seems. I suspect the CIA may regard Trump as a clear and present danger to the Republic. Look for the report to be released next week to be explosive.

We could be in for a helluva drama.

Little Donny knows it's coming. He can't bear the security briefings all about him. The drug addled tweet storms are signs of his paranoia.

Also explains why he hasn't been taking the briefings.

But it also makes you wonder whether the briefers are setting him up, feeding him enough rope to hang himself. I mean if they even SUSPECT that the president elect is in bed with the Russians, what do they do? Certainly not treat him like ordinary incoming.

They may have planted some false information in a briefing or two, and are now waiting to see if Russia acts in a way that shows they have been told about the purposely faulty intelligence.

becomes President, instead of relying on the Secret Service. He doesn't want to trust his safety to people who might just know how deep he's in with Putin.

All Trump's braying about how HE is going to put America first again seems rather odd when you consider how he has defended Putin from day one. Something smells and I think it's spelled

T-R-U-M-P.
