With what happened with the russia investigation which the president questioned the conclusion of for many months and hasntm bra embraced totall until today. they see an intelligence community that feels like its, you know, solutions, its assessments are not being taken seriously and being acted upon. what is the worst thing you can say about the intelligence community. its that their work is not being regarded by the person who is responsible for making these decisions. and now we have a second...
