Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: Trump Needs to Understand Deep State Has Declared War on His Administration

Former CIA analyst and retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer joined Lou Dobbs on Tuesday night.

Lt. Col Shaffer explained to Lou that President Trump needs to understand Deep State has declared war against his administration. … He also needs to fire top two levels in intelligence to clean house and stop the leaks.

PROOF: Ex-CIA Director Brennan worked directly with foreign spies to keep Trump OUT of the Oval Office

As reported by The Guardian, there is compelling evidence to suggest that former CIA Director John Brennan was the primary U.S. intelligence community source working to undermine the Trump campaign in an effort to prevent the billionaire businessman from becoming president and, after he won, to undermine his transition.

The bizarre tale actually begins with a Fox News analyst, judicial analyst and former judge Andrew Napolitano. In mid-March, he leveled an amazing allegation: That the Obama administration used GCHQ, Great Britain’s equivalent of the National Security Agency, to spy on the Trump campaign during the campaign cycle so that no paper trail would be left. (RELATED: Read Confirmed: Rice ordered spy docs on Team Trump.)

“Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the ‘chain of command’ to conduct surveillance on Trump,” Napolitano claimed. “Obama didn’t use the NSA, he didn’t use the CIA, he didn’t use the FBI and he didn’t use the Department of Justice.

“What happened to the guy who ordered this? Resigned three days after Trump took office,” Napolitano said.

That would be Brennan.

The allegation caused such a stir that Fox News took Napolitano off the air. And uncharacteristically, GCHQ issued a public ridicule of Napolitano, calling the claim “nonsense.”

Only, turns out that Napolitano’s sources were spot-on.

First, some background on why this sounded, to me, very plausible from the outset. The U.K. is one of the so-called “Five Eyes” countries that includes the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Often abbreviated as “FVEY” and formed in the aftermath of World War II, this is a signals intelligence- gathering and intelligence-sharing treaty that has been enhanced several times since it was launched.

In 2013, documents leaked to the media by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden showed that FVEY was essentially a supra-national intelligence operation that has been used by member countries to spy on each others’ citizens. The information gathered is then shared among the five countries in order to skirt restrictive laws limiting or preventing domestic surveillance of their respective populations.

So when I heard Napolitano’s accusations, I knew it was at least feasible.

And now, thanks to some intrepid reporting by The Guardian, we learn that not only was Napolitano correct, but that the U.S. spymaster at the time, Brennan, was the Obama administration official behind the effort:

According to one account, GCHQ’s then head, Robert Hannigan, passed material in summer 2016 to the CIA chief, John Brennan. The matter was deemed so sensitive it was handled at “director level.” After an initially slow start, Brennan used GCHQ information and intelligence from other partners to launch a major inter-agency investigation.

The spying, as other reporting has suggested, was not really in relation to any suspected Russia-Trump collusion. Rather, it was nothing more than a political operation to gather whatever damning evidence might be available about Trump and his campaign, under the guise of an intelligence mission.

As for Brennan, the American Spectator noted in a special exclusive, that his motives were entirely political:

Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Brennan teamed up with British spies and Estonian spies to cripple Trump’s candidacy. He used their phony intelligence as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump, which led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice, among other Hillary supporters, to spy on Trump and his people.

Brennan’s CIA, then, was nothing less than a political branch office of the Clinton campaign. (RELATED: Trump Says The Entire “Russia Hacked The Election” Narrative Has Been Fabricated By Democrats.)

This is serious, serious stuff. Politicizing the U.S. intelligence community to thwart the candidacy of a legitimate presidential contender has involved criminal leaking of sensitive intelligence information, the improper unmasking of American civilians, and created a dangerous distrust of the very agencies entrusted to protect our country from attack.

Congress needs to investigate Brennan’s alleged role in all of this and, if need be, refer the matter to the Justice Department for further action and possible prosecution.

Hill GOP Reels From Trump Chaos, Struggles to Chart Course

May 17, 2017

Earlier Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he’s prepared to block Trump on many of his proposed budget cuts and won’t support major tax cuts that add to the deficit. Nor would he commit to building Trump’s border wall.

The normally taciturn Republican leader let slip some of his frustration with the president, telling Bloomberg News in an interview that he really wants one thing from Trump: “Less drama.”

Whenever there’s drama going on over there, it makes it tougher for the agenda here,” Republican Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona said Tuesday, before Comey’s memo was reported. “But I suppose it’s going to continue, so I’ll have to get used to it.”

McConnell Agenda

Even before the Comey memo was reported, McConnell laid out an agenda that explicitly rejected more and more of Trump’s major priorities. A tax overhaul, McConnell said, must be revenue-neutral. The president has said it would “OK” if a tax overhaul added to the deficit in the short run to stimulate the economy.

McConnell offered an unusually strong rebuff of a budget request coming from a president of his own party. Trump’s priorities “aren’t necessarily ours,” he said, adding the president’s plan to slash the State Department is “highly unlikely.” Trump is expected to unveil his detailed budget request on May 23.

McConnell also said he’s told the administration he wouldn’t support a big infrastructure stimulus package that adds to the deficit either. The forthcoming infrastructure plan must be a “credible, paid-for” proposal, he said. And he wouldn’t commit to fighting for Trump’s wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.

“We’ll probably have arguments about what’s a wall and what’s security in the course of the discussion about the spending for next year,” he said.

‘No One in the White House Likes Or Respects Trump’

The source of White House dysfunction

BY: Daniel Halper
May 16, 2017

"No one in the White House likes or respects Trump."

Those are the words of a source with very close ties to a number of officials in the White House explaining the views of key personnel advising the president.

It’s also the most helpful explanation of the dysfunction currently facing President Trump.

When you talk to Trump loyalists, they tell you that the president is surrounded by a slew of opportunist, conniving, disloyal staffers who are serving themselves and not the man who won on Election Day.

One Trump transition official griped to me Tuesday, "He left all the people who like him out of the White House."

Take Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s final campaign manager. The co-host of Morning Joe said yesterday that, after defending her boss on live TV, Conway told Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough and company, "Blech. I need to take a shower." Conway, the hosts said, explained she was only doing the job for the money. She is now White House counselor—and works in an office once occupied by Valerie Jarrett.

"The notion that I am serving for ‘the money' or ‘a paycheck' is absurd," Conway said today, adding of Trump, "I know him, I respect him, I believe in him, and I am confident in his capacity to be a successful and transformative president."

My understanding, though, is that much of the staff is skeptical towards if not outright hostile to the president. And the consequences of the shared dislike have been devastating, among them a slew of leaks that has kept the administration on the defensive and unable to pursue the agenda of the president. Trump is hardly able to have a conversation or meeting at the White House that doesn’t somehow get retold to the press within days.  The more embarrassing the scoop, the better.

Shortly after his inauguration, the details of Trump's tough phone conversation with the Australian prime minister were soon made public. And most recently, when the president reportedly told Russian officials information obtained via intelligences services, details of that privileged conversation were leaked almost immediately.

One anonymous former campaign official blamed the leaks on dissatisfaction. "Dissatisfied people leak, so clearly a lot of senior advisers are not happy," the source told The Hill.

The president has also been ill-served by holdovers from the previous president, whose allegiances do not align with the president's own.

By contrast, President Obama was surrounded by members of his staff who thought he could walk on water. President George W. Bush staffers believed their boss to be a decent and honorable person and a bold chief executive.

Now, it's true that both former presidents in some ways suffered from the unwavering loyalty of their aides. They rarely were told no, and dissenting views were not heard. But Trump's predecessors also benefited tremendously by being able to trust and rely on their underlings.

To be sure, there are plenty of people who both love and respect Trump. But for some odd reason they are outnumbered in this White House.

As the transition official recommended, "[Trump] needs to put in the people he can trust, the ones who were there with him from the beginning."

"He brought in the swamp," the official added.
