US national security officials are reportedly ready to “go nuclear” after President Donald Trump’s latest attack on the intelligence community.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday and Wednesday, Trump insisted that the “real scandal” was not that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn lied about his contact with Russia. Instead, the president blasted what he said were “un-American” leaks that led to Flynn’s ousting.

The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?

On Wednesday, former NSA intelligence analyst John Schindler provided some insight into the reaction of national security officials.
“Now we go nuclear,” he wrote on Twitter. “[Intelligence community] war going to new levels. Just got an [email from] senior [intelligence community] friend, it began: ‘He will die in jail.’”
“US intelligence is not the problem here,” Schindler added in another tweet. “The President’s collusion with Russian intelligence is. Many details, but the essence is simple.”

US intelligence is not the problem here.
The President’s collusion with Russian intelligence is.
Many details, but the essence is simple.

BLUF: When the full extent of Trump’s collusion with the Kremlin comes out — incl using RIS to spy on Americans — people will go to prison
Those are some strong words from the intelligence committee
Force meets force. Intelligence agencies are King makers and breakers. No matter what we call them today day…they are the inner circles found in all societies, for centuries. They can destroy a king, queen or Chief.
