Trump Despises Military, But He’s Also Warring With Spy Agencies
President’s intelligence purge only benefits hostile nations
President Donald Trump has been a boon for the publishing industry. I must have read close to 20 books about Trump’s corrupt and incompetent White House. The latest book on my reading list is former FBI agent Peter Strzok’s “Compromised.”
In several media interviews, Strzok said Trump is indebted to Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin. He also claims he saw evidence that could end Trump’s political career. He refused to release it because the evidence is still classified.
However, Strzok, formerly the FBI’s top counterintelligence agent, ran afoul of Trump when text between him and lover fellow FBI employee Lisa Page leaked. The texts contained several anti-Trump messages. But the pair were equally critical of both Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The resulting scandal cost Strzok his job.
