As John Adams so presciently noted, “The only Maxim of a free Government, ought to be to trust no Man living, with Power to endanger the public Liberty.”
That would mean the IC is full of "anti-American clowns" who believe every "leak is a bad leak", unless of course they are providing the 'leak'; i.e. whatever misinformation suits their goals.
The IC couldn't stop two "anti-American clowns" from bombing the Boston Marathon, when the infamous 'Russians' warned them about the two 'clowns' two years before the 'two clowns' did the deed. Just one example...
I don't have anymore trust for the IC while Trump is President than I did under any other President.
If the IC is so wonderful, they could have stopped 9/11 instead of needing to know what I ate for breakfast.
