WASHINGTON—President-elect Donald Trump, a harsh critic of U.S. intelligence agencies, is working with top advisers on a plan that would restructure and pare back the nation’s top spy agency, people familiar with the planning said.

Hey Intelligence Community--you are now the turkey, and Comrade Drumpt is the farmer is coming with the ax.

1. In a fight with intelligence,

Trump is clearly unarmed.

2. Oh man, takin' on the spooks, Donald?

This could get interesting real fast.

3. Shrub did similar to this in early 2002 to those in military intel who advised against war

I left in very early 2002 when it was clear that he didn't want intelligence.

I wonder what plans trump (Putin proxy) has. This bodes not well, folks.

4. Inevitably terrorists will attack on US soil...

...and the first question will be: Could this attack been avoided and these lives saved if only Trump hadn't dicked over the nation's intelligence community?

[Nay]

7. Oh, you've got that wrong -- the first question will be: "Which liberal traitor in the basement

of the CIA let this happen??"

[JaneQPublic]

8. You may be right.

I was thinking the one silver lining to the GOPers being in charge of all branches of Gov. is that now they can't wiggle out of accountability for their disastrous policies -- clearly, they'll be blamed when things go wrong.

But what was I thinking?!?!? If a huge chunk of the populous blames Obama for Katrina, then of course Dems and liberals will continue to be blamed for everything, because "The Party of Personal Responsibility" never takes responsibility for anything.

9. The first question will be, "How do we blame Obama?"

5. Imagine this as a spy novel or movie.

How do we think this will play out? Will the good guys win in the end? Will Trump be revealed as the traitor he is? The horror is that this is no novel. It is our country and way of life under attack. I cannot believe that the people who can actually DO SOMETHING about it are not screaming from the rooftops about this. Instead we are having a civilized and respectful hearing, televised to all who want to watch. Will we be told the truth and the links to Trump? Or will we go through the motions of investigating this crime and have an unhinged, devious megalomaniac as our President? I am nearly numb from everything that has happened since Nov. 8th and won't be surprised at ANYTHING that happens from here on out.

[Nay]

6. If THIS doesn't get the spy world into defensive mode, nothing will. Look out, fellas,

if you don't give Congresspeople something to work on, you are gonna be gutted.
