Tom Nichols, a sometime Federalist contributor, said Trump threatened the very safety of America in saying he doubted his intelligence agencies.
Bill Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Trump was "Un-American." Former Fox and now MSNBC analyst Ralph Peters said that Trump was a "Slave to Putin." CNN's Philip Mudd, a former intelligence community official, called for a coup against Trump by the "Shadow government." Meanwhile, a Democratic congressman called for a military coup, and Democrat senators want to haul Trump's interpreter before Congress to testify under oath.
Just about the only politician who had nice things to say about the Trump-Putin summit was Sen. Rand Paul, who pointed out that there was little benefit for Trump to confront Putin during a press conference, and added that the intelligence agencies are not sacrosanct.
After all the selective leaking to frame the Trump administration for obstruction, after a U.S. presidential campaign was spied on by the opposing Party's administration, after years of botched or politicized intelligence assessments, after years of arming bad guys around the world, and after multiple revelations of spying on Journalists, Congress, and American citizens - of course it is appropriate to doubt the U.S. intelligence agencies.
Finally, don't forget that the intelligence assessment that Russia did all this hacking - to elect Trump no less - was put together by a very small team of people handpicked by Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
Why do so many of our unelected officials and talking-heads, including those in the intelligence community, seem to have a problem with Trump trying to have better relations with Russia? Maybe there are budgets, think-tank positions, and even weapons-programs reliant on Russia being seen as a Cold War-era enemy.
Trump undermined those intelligence agencies, but he didn't undermine America.
