President-Elect Trump has been busily firebombing both groups, publicly calling them \u201cFake News\u201d outlets. Another group he\u2019s very angry with, is the Intelligence Community, primarily the CIA and the NSA. He\u2019s not in a forgiving mood with their actions. Here\u2019s a few details <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20171127062622\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2017\/01\/13\/trump-sticks-knife-into-dossier-story-wont-let-intel-community-off-hook.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">from Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>President-elect Donald Trump moved to bury once and for all the suspect dossier that surfaced earlier this week claiming the Russian government had compromising information on him, declaring Friday the details were concocted by \u201csleazebag political operatives\u201d \u2013 while still not letting the intelligence community off the hook over claims they leaked it. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Trump started his Friday with a characteristic blizzard of tweets, largely focusing on the dossier controversy. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201c<b>It now turns out that the phony allegations against me were put together by my political opponents and a failed spy afraid of being sued,\u201d he tweeted.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>President-Elect Trump fired off a number of tweets and you can read some of them in the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20171127062622\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2017\/01\/13\/trump-sticks-knife-into-dossier-story-wont-let-intel-community-off-hook.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News story<\/a>. One of them was a full salvo aimed at the person who ginned up this garbage. It turns out he\u2019s a former member of the British intelligence community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>His \u201cfailed spy\u201d slam refers to former British spy Christopher David Steele, who reportedly helped compile the dossier. Trump turned fire on the original sources of the material after slamming the media \u2013 namely CNN and BuzzFeed, the latter of which published the dossier itself \u2013 for reporting on the claims earlier this week. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t stop there. He\u2019s also ripping mad at the various intelligence services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>But he also has continued to question the intelligence community\u2019s role in the sordid allegations going public, reviving his charge Friday that they \u201cprobably\u201d released it. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Intelligence Community is denying this of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>This, despite Director of National Intelligence James Clapper speaking with Trump on Wednesday about the matter, to express \u201cprofound dismay at the leaks\u201d and claim that he does not believe they came from within the intelligence community. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>In a statement, Clapper had said: \u201cI emphasized that this document is not a U.S. Intelligence Community product and that I do not believe the leaks came from within the IC. The IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p>A few things here. First, James Clapper is about as trustworthy as Benedict Arnold. He\u2019s been caught lying to Congress and honestly, should have been fired for that. Second, notice how he weasel words his remarks. While the Intelligence Community didn\u2019t generate this load of crap, their fingerprints are all over it, which is why CNN and Buzzfeed were dumb enough to run with it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also been reported that this \u201creport\u201d was shopped around to a number of other Progressive Media outlets, including the New York Times. These reports seem to be from \u201cIntelligence sources\u201d, but the information in the so called \u201cDamning report\u201d was so badly sourced, not to mention totally unverifiable, that other than the Clinton News Network and Buzzfeed, none of the other News organizations would touch it. President-Elect Trump noted this when beating CNN and Buzzfeed over the head with a 2 by 4.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Media-RIP2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-22605\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Media-RIP2-300x296.jpg?resize=300%2C296\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Media-RIP2.jpg?resize=300%2C296&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Media-RIP2.jpg?resize=500%2C493&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Media-RIP2.jpg?w=507&amp;ssl=1 507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the problems with the so called \u201cIntelligence Community\u201d is just how badly they\u2019ve been screwing up.

They have come to rely far to much on technology and seem to avoid dealing with actual spying. It might be time to break them up, and possibly bring back the Office of Strategic Services to handle actual field work. (I read something that very few CIA personnel actually go overseas anymore)<\/p>\n<p>A second organization would handle the actual analysis of the information coming in from all sources. This brings us to the National Security Agency. These are the people who monitor every single electronic communication they can scoop up. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we\u2019ve learned that the NSA is also scooping up, storing and disseminating that information, (American citizens communications inside the U.S.A.) to the CIA, FBI and others who should not have it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/constitution-burning.jpeg.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9980\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/constitution-burning.jpeg-300x199.jpg?resize=300%2C199\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/constitution-burning.jpeg.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/constitution-burning.jpeg.jpg?resize=150%2C99&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/constitution-burning.jpeg.jpg?resize=400%2C265&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/constitution-burning.jpeg.jpg?w=650&amp;ssl=1 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always known that the NSA is listening in, however, prior to Snowden, I assumed they had a mechanism in place to filter out and delete anything that could violate the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Amendment rights of Americans.

The NSA is another agency that needs a good hosing down and returning to their roots of eavesdropping on the rest of the world&#8230;for a change.<\/p>\n<p>When Donald Trump takes office, and his new people move into the intelligence services, I suspect there\u2019s going to be a lot of very shocked people. I also suspect there\u2019s going to be a lot of dismissals as well. (Not sure about prosecutions though) I\u2019m also hoping that President Trump take a long, hard look at the FISA courts and how they aren\u2019t actually protecting the rights of Americans. We shall see what happens over the course of the next 4 years.
