Does Trump want his own hand-pick security forces?

[kennetha]

It's hard to figure why Trump keeps disparaging the intelligence community. But here's a new hypothesis. He is trying to get all the career officers in the intelligence community to resign en mass. That way he can replace them all with his own hand picked goons. Along the same line, hes already decided to have his own security force to "augment" the Secret Service. Maybe he just wants all of his security forces to be loyal to him personally rather than to the Constitution or the Rule of Law.

1. He wants to replace them with Russian operatives

3. Or Blackwater / XE, are they still around?

5. I'm sure they are. He'll just repackage them with a new name

No one will be the wiser.

2. That's not gonna happen

...replacing the majority of the Intel workforce, they'll see him hanged for treason first... and I bet they will have him by the short hairs once he takes his oath. And if he takes that oath and then decries it, it would prove he's insincere and could be ousted over that if certain personnel get involved. I will put my trust in those who indicated they wouldn't robotically obey any command for now.

4. Same reason Tricky Dick organized "The Plumbers".

This twit is Nixon on steroids.
