It’s becoming a dangerous game where those who are feeding sensitive information to the media are also creating distrust within our intelligence agencies and damaging relationships with our allies abroad. These leakers are on a mission to weaken President Trump and disrupt his ability to govern. They believe it is their moral obligation to fight the president and his team. But at what cost? Just this week, British intelligence officials expressed outrage after learning that the information on the Manchester bombing investigation was leaked to The New York Times. The CIA and the FBI had received the intelligence information on a confidential basis, but somehow the material fell into the hands of news reporters. Prime Minister Theresa May reportedly lectured Mr. Trump about the problem, and now the Brits have decided that they will limit the sharing of intelligence information with their U.S. counterparts. This not only damages our ties to a special ally, it hurts our ability to thwart potential terrorists attacks on our homeland. We rely on intelligence information from our allies to be able to effectively combat terrorism at home and abroad. We need to be pulling together in the fight against Islamic State, al Qaeda and the other terrorist organizations, not creating infighting within our own organizations and with our allies. If we fail to coordinate and share intelligence information, the terrorists win. The president has said repeatedly he will not tolerate the leakers, warning that “the leaks of sensitive information pose a grave threat to our national security,” directing the Justice Department to prosecute those caught leaking “to the fullest extent of the law.” Poster Comment: The Deep State wants Trump down or out, whichever is easier.
