Why so anti-Intel? Why all the fuss?



Possibly so that when the F.B.I. or N.S.A. discovers evidence of Trump's collusion with the Russian hackers, including negotiating a third-party transfer of information to Assange/Wikileaks (i.e. treason), Trump can say the Intel community is baselessly attacking him as revenge for his current treatment of them.

Plus his constant harping on Fake News and groundless accusations will encourage people to put any further revelations into the same category.


Thus speculation runs this morning.

(OK so ignore the double entendre) In "Trump-World" he can have full command and control of all information about himself. And in Trump-World the CIA, FBI, et. al. are his to command.

In the real world where the rest of us live.... he's on a futile, quixotic effort to hold back all the damming information that's unfolding about him. It's a perverted house of cards that's fast approaching total collapse.

Don't think I've ever witnessed anyone as expertly Machiavellian as Trump in all my 66 years.
