This important article by John Schindler explains what’s happening in the escalating battle between Trump’s inner circle and the intelligence community. The IC has decided to withhold key intelligence information from Trump and his inner circle, in part because Trump insulted them, in part because they feel the Russians have successfully invaded the White House. This is both exciting (because the intelligence community is a very powerful enemy that could in time bring Trump down) and frightening (because Trump operating without intelligence — the spy kind — in an international crisis could be disastrous). Schindler is an insider who knows what he’s talking about. This is important reading if you want to understand an important aspect of what’s going on.
