Unwanted Truths: Inside Trump’s Battles With U.S. Intelligence Agencies

"Though these people (from the intelligence community) would discuss their experiences only in exchange for anonymity out of fear of reprisal or dismissal, the unusual fact of their willingness to discuss them at all — and the extent to which their stories could be confirmed by multiple sources, and in many cases by contemporaneous documents — itself was a testament to how profoundly Trump has reordered their world and their work. As one of them told me: “The problem is that when you’ve been treated the way the intelligence community has, they become afraid of their own shadow. The most dangerous thing now is the churn — the not knowing who’s going to be fired, and what it is you might say that could cost you your job. It’s trying to put out something and not get creamed for it.”

И мы должны верить, что эти люди, не щадя своей жизни, будут защищать нас от страшных опасностей, когда они так трясутся перед старым, придурковатым Трампом?! Все эти когорты и легионы гражданских служащих и людей в форме, запуганные убогим и трусливым стариком, именно они тащат страну в трясину альтернативной реальности, где нет места тем, кто не соглашается с фантазиями обитателя Белого Дома.
