US President Donald Trump was called a “domestic enemy,” who “presents a threat to the country” by a presidential candidate of 2016 and ex-agent of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Evan McMullin. As the Info Wars information website reported, the statement was made on Twitter, after Trump criticized the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Security Agency (NSA) for leaking information to the New York Times and the Washington Post.
By oath, intelligence officials’ first duty is to “defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..” https://t.co/gVKiB98Fq2

So, the real scandal isn’t that the President of the United States of America appears to have been co-opted by America’s greatest adversary? https://t.co/gVKiB98Fq2

In addition, speaking on CNN, McMullin explained why Trump is a “threat to the country,” mentioning his assumed links with the Russian President and Russian intelligence officers.
“I’ll tell you what their concerns are. Their concerns are that Donald Trump presents a threat to the country because of his – what they see as his relationship with Vladimir Putin and the relationship of his team to other Russian intelligence officers,” McMullin said.
Despite the fact that the original report of the New York Times newspaper admitted that there was “no evidence” that the “Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election,” McMullin stated that Trump, “ran a campaign that was assisted by a foreign adversary – our greatest foreign adversary.”
The ex-agent of the CIA also noted that he was in contact with some intelligence agents, who were responsible for the leaks, and claimed that in this way they just were responding to “a security threat coming from the White House.”
This morning, Trump once again expressed his anger at politicized elements, saying that the New York Times “must apologize.”
Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (and others) must apologize!
