Leaked e -mails suggest

After years of republican apoplexia and conspiracy theories about the US secret service group, which allegedly politicized information, new evidence indicates that Donald Trump's team is doing exactly that. The New York Times reported:

“We have to rewrite some” and more analytical work “This is why this document is not used against the DNI or potus,” Joe Kent, chief of staff from Gabbard, wrote on April 3 in an e -mail to an e -mail to an group of intelligence officers.

For those who could benefit from a refreshment, we become our previous reporting and check how we arrived at this time.

In order to justify the plans of his government to eliminate immigrants to a Salvadorical megaprison, the president has been due to the fact that the government of Venezuela controls the Tren de Aragua gang. One of the problems with this claim is the simple fact that the US intelligence has come to the opposite conclusion.

In fact, the national secret service – the top company for the analysis of classified intelligence and the provision of secret reviews for political decision -makers – came months ago that Nicolás Maduros Venezuelan regime tren de Aragua's operations in the US

These findings may have been exactly, but they didn't go well with Team Trump. In fact, last week, Times reported that Joe Kent – who is not only the deputy chief of staff of Gabard, is also the conspiratorial candidate of the president to lead the national center of fighting terrorism, “a high -ranking analyst by Senior Intelligence, a new evaluation of the relationship between the government of Venezela and gang”.

In other words, the National Intelligence Council analyzed the classified intelligence and provided a realistic assessment. Soon afterwards, a Trump representative, who was not satisfied with the available facts, asked the advice to do so again.

In order to hear the administration, this was a routine and undisputed request for the most accurate information. The latest reporting from the Times, which was not checked independently of MSNBC or NBC messages, pointed out to Kent on e -mails, which indicate that his main goal prevented a political embarrassment for Trump and Ebbard.

Or as the article in the Times summarized, “[T]The disclosure of his e -mails supports the reports of critics who said that he had the political pressure to generate a thoughts that would rather support the government's political agenda. “

There are some elements to consider why this is important. First, there is growing evidence that Team Trump politicizes the intelligence in a way that could be dramatic risks. As the Washington Post David Ignatius said in its latest column: “The presidents to say what the analysts of intelligence agentalysts should do. … At some point in the future, Trump will ask his intelligence advisor about a political initiative – will it do this work?

Let's not forget that after the leaders of the national secret service had refused to tell the government what it wanted to hear, the leaders of the council released what was ridiculous and sent a dangerous signal to other secret service experts in the entire government.

Second, it seems more and more obvious that the White House of Kents should draw nomination in order to lead the national terrorist control center sooner than later.

And finally we do not overlook the fact that there are some intelligence insiders who seem to be quite striving for the public to be informed about these abuses behind the scenes.
