The Rob Maness Show

The Politicization of our Intelligence Agencies

recent events have only served to confirm the concerns I’ve highlighted several times in the ensuing three years. In January 2017 I wrote: “I am stunned at what I am seeing coming from your professional community and utterly dismayed at what sure looks like a series of politically motivated published intelligence reports and leaks of misinformation. These actions put intelligence information into the public domain without vetting, credibility, or authoritative support in order to de-legitimize a duly elected President of the United States in the weeks leading up to the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as our 45th President. The latest is the fiasco that resulted in the release of false information from your profession through two media organizations who average citizens now know as fake news outlets, thanks to the courage and communications ability of the President-elect. I demand to see some resignations and retirements from this one.
