They aren’t working for Putin’s interests like Trump is.
On these issues, Trump is ignorant or a liar. I think he is well informed so he must be a liar.
The nation's senior-most intel officials are making clear many of Trump's claims are not based on intelligence:
– ISIS is not defeated
– North Korea is not denuclearizing
– Russia still interfering in US elections
– Climate change is real & endangers US national security— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) January 29, 2019
Not likely- certainly. None of these assessments are new or surprising. All are known to the President and all senior national security officials. He simply chooses to ignore them or lie about them for his own purposes.
