Tom Woods warns Donald Trump not to place too much faith in the CIA. He writes:
Donald Trump just posted this (emphasis mine):
“Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation. Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump rightly criticizes the Department of Justice, the FBI, and left-wing prosecutors.
But note the sentence I emphasized: he then appeals to the CIA — which is as much against him as any of those other institutions — for unspecified help.
Mr. President, I’m afraid the situation is worse than you think.
