those "stringers"(?) were supposed to be COMMs for the deployed MILINT assets on the field … now that Q has been on extended vacation, how do the field operatives get their instructions?

>CIA, Mike Pompeo exposed for allegedly hiding info from Trump: Report

>

>A new undercover report by the O’Keefe Media Group claims that leaders of the intelligence community, including former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former CIA Director Gina Haspel, withheld information from former President Donald Trump throughout his administration.

>

>On Wednesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) publicly called for the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to investigate the allegations raised by the O’Keefe Media Group regarding federal agencies withholding information from a sitting president.

>

>Gaetz shared an undercover video posted by James O’Keefe of a Deloitte contractor who allegedly has worked as a program manager in Cyber Operations at the CIA and the National Security Agency (NSA).

>

>“This footage contains evidence that American intelligence agencies withheld intelligence from President Donald Trump before and during his presidency and used Foreign Intelligence Act (FISA) authorities to spy on President Trump and may be doing so today,” Gaetz wrote Wednesday in a letter to Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

>

>The video, which included recordings of various meetings between the alleged government contractor and an undercover reporter, shows a man named Amjad Fseisi admitting that multiple intelligence agencies intentionally withheld information from Trump over concerns that Trump would “disclose it.”

>

>In the video, Fseisi said that the intelligence agencies “all got together and said, ‘We’re not gonna tell Trump.'” The contractor claimed that the effort to withhold information from Trump included the leaders of the various intelligence agencies.

>

>“The executive staff,” Fseisi said. “We’re talking about the director and his subordinates,” which he claimed included Haspel and Pompeo, who both served as CIA directors under the Trump administration.

>

>Fseisi claimed that the intelligence agencies “kept information from him [Trump] because we knew he’d f-cking disclose it.” He added, “There are certain people that would…give him a high-level overview but never give him any details. You know why? Because he’ll leak those details…He’s a Russian asset. He’s owned by the f-cking Russians.”

Trump misgauged his generals yet again when it came to America’s foreign military partners. Trump’s approach to NATO provides the clearest window here. For Trump, partners—even allies—are as good for the United States as whatever they’ve done lately for us. But Trump’s generals knew otherwise—that the whole idea of alliances and partnerships is to forge bonds that redound to mutual interests in ways that transcend the particularities of the moment. Bergen describes how Kelly, Mattis, and McMaster—who disagreed on much by the end—were united in their support for NATO as a bedrock of American national security.

 

Trump never saw what they saw in NATO: allies who fought and died alongside Americans, even in military actions undertaken in response to attacks primarily against Americans, such as the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan after 9/11, as well as holders of shared values like the commitment to democracy and human rights. Where Trump expected “killing machines,” his generals proved much more interested in preserving those with whom Americans could live and serve side by side with pride and comfort. Those generals understood those exquisite lyrics from Hamilton: “Dying is easy . . . living is harder.” When, as Bergen documents, Trump criticized his generals’ approach to America’s burden sharing with South Korea by claiming, “My generals don’t know anything about business,” Trump revealed his complete failure to recognize that those generals don’t treat military partners as Trump treated business partners—precisely because the military isn’t looking to make a quick buck but, instead, to protect America over the long haul.

 

Ultimately, what drew Trump to his generals—indeed, to generals more broadly, and to the military writ large—wasn’t any real understanding of how they thought or why they fought. It was, instead, a caricature of who they were—what Bergen rightly describes as “a gruff, tough-guy persona of the type that appealed to Trump.” Moreover, Trump was drawn to what he saw as the generals’ powerful toys—what Bergen calls Trump’s “schoolboy fascination with military hardware.” This wasn’t an understanding of the military that led Trump to embrace it: rather, it was a cheap caricature.
