Продолжается война Трампа с американской разведкой.



Wall Street Journal сообщает, что органы разведки вынуждены скрывать секретную информацию от Трампа из опасения, что она может оказаться скомпроментирована.

U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.

The officials’ decision to keep information from Mr. Trump underscores the deep mistrust that has developed between the intelligence community and the president over his team’s contacts with the Russian government, as well as the enmity he has shown toward U.S. spy agencies. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump accused the agencies of leaking information to undermine him.

In some of these cases of withheld information, officials have decided not to show Mr. Trump the sources and methods that the intelligence agencies use to collect information, the current and former officials said. Those sources and methods could include, for instance, the means that an agency uses to spy on a foreign government.

Джон Шиндлер, который опубликовал подобное сообщение ранее, намекает на то, что дело может закончиться уголовным преследованием за шпионаж:

Washington is at the precipice of a scandal unlike anything seen since Watergate. Indeed, KremlinGate promises to be much seedier and more troubling than anything proffered by President Nixon. Here the inevitable comparisons to Watergate fall short. Tricky Dick committed domestic crimes, and paid the price for them, but Nixon was in no way beholden to a foreign power—much less one which has several thousand nuclear weapons pointed at the United States. Neither did Nixon collude with that foreign power’s spies to arrange his own election to the presidency. We are now discussing things worse than mere impeachment. If members of Trump’s team colluded with Russian intelligence, the Espionage Act comes into play, and we’ve entered uncharted waters, presidentially speaking.

Друзья Шиндлера в разведке выражаются в отношении Трампа менее дипломатично:




Ход Трампа? Продолжать нападать на разведку за утечки информации (не пытаясь между тем опровергнуть саму информацию) и назначить знакомого миллиардера, Стива Файнберга, друга Стива Бэннона без какого-либо опыта в разведке в качестве новой метлы для приведения разведчиков к порядку.



Stephen Feinberg, the chief executive of private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management who backed U.S. President Donald Trump's election campaign, is being considered to lead a review of the vast U.S. intelligence operation and whether it can be restructured, current and former officials told Reuters. While cautioning that the appointment was not final, the U.S. officials said Feinberg, if named to the role, would look for ways to streamline 17 separate agencies, a roughly $70 billion annual budget and tens of thousands of employees.

Reports that Mr. Feinberg was under consideration to run the clandestine service rocked the intelligence community in recent weeks, raising the prospect of direct White House control over America’s spies at a time when Mr. Trump’s ties to Mr. Putin are under investigation by the F.B.I. and congressional committees.

Силы в борьбе неравны. На стороне Трампа - административный ресурс, на стороне разведки - информация.




Конгресс может сильно поменять баланс сил, но пока непонятно, в какую сторону. Руководство сенатской юридической комиссии (Senate Committee on the Judiciary) затребовали от Генерального прокурора и главы ФБР информацию об обстоятельствах отставки Флинна.

Глава комиссии, Чак Грассли, был замечен в контактах с представителями России. Его заместитель, Дайэнн Файнстайн, имеет богатый опыт работы с органами разведки.

В нижней палате Конгресса демократы остаются в гордом меньшинстве. Республиканское большинство в двух влиятельных комиссиях (House Judiciary Committee, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform) отказывается рассматривать вопрос о связях Трампа с Россией. Демократы обеих комиссий в полном составе подписали письмо Генеральному прокурору и главе ФБР с требованием о брифинге про обстоятельства отставки Флинна: https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrats.judiciary.house.gov/files/documents/Judiciary.OGR%20letter%20on%20Flynn.pdf
