Donald Trump Plans Revamp of Top U.S. Spy Agency President-elect works with advisers on restructuring Office of the Director of National Intelligence
>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, prompted by a belief that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has become bloated and politicized.
>The planning comes as Mr. Trump has leveled a series of social media attacks in recent months and the past few days against U.S. intelligence agencies, dismissing and mocking their assessment that the Russian government hacked emails of Democratic groups and individuals and then leaked them last year to WikiLeaks and others in an effort to help Mr. Trump win the White House.
>One of the people familiar with Mr. Trump’s planning said advisers also are working on a plan to restructure the Central Intelligence Agency, cutting back on staffing at its Virginia headquarters and pushing more people out into field posts around the world. The CIA declined to comment on the plan.
>“The view from the Trump team is the intelligence world [is] becoming completely politicized,” said the individual, who is close to the Trump transition operation. “They all need to be slimmed down. The focus will be on restructuring the agencies and how they interact.”

Trump is interesting since he's shown that no level of public scandal can bring him down during the elections, so the CIA can't pull the old 'find a girl who used to know him to call him a rapist' routine like they did on assange and applebaum. The only other things in their toolbox are military coups and assassinations.
RIP trump

wait, it may not be the CIA, since the top US spy agency is the unnamed one mentioned in the hillary trial:
excluding the unnamed ones, Here's how many different intelligence agencies there are in the US:
Defense Defense Intelligence Agency National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency National Reconnaissance Office National Security Agency
Armed Forces Army Intelligence and Security Command Marine Corps Intelligence Office of Naval Intelligence Twenty-Fifth Air Force Coast Guard Intelligence
Civilian Bureau of Intelligence and Research Central Intelligence Agency Drug Enforcement Administration Federal Bureau of Investigation Office of Intelligence and Analysis Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence

Did I get every sensationalist descriptor of Trump's private security?

Guys, I know Trump shills for Israel a lot, but don't you think he was briefed on the state secrets when he meet with Ocongo? I would assume they told him the truth about 9/11, but even if they haven't yet, he'll find out eventually. What I'm getting at is..do you think he's playing 8D underwater backgammon with Israel, by pretending to shill hard for them, and then blowing open the secrets later on? It would be extremely impressive for him to have this loud persona, but secretly be getting closer to his enemies.

Trump is too brainwashed by the jews to ever become redpill'd.
