Brad Johnson, Former CIA Clandestine Officer and Founder of Americans for Intelligence Reform, joins Secure Freedom Radio to discuss the current state of the intelligence community and implications of its politicization.
“Since President Trump walked down the elevator and announced his candidacy and everyone assumed it was nonsense and he had no chance, he has been under the attack by both the press but also a heavily politicized intelligence community, with the FBI and CIA at the forefront. That is a very, very dangerous precedent.
The FISA court is subject to the intel community’s use and whims and that is originally what happened. They got the original FISA court approved with three extensions and those were 100% political documents, it’s well documented, and McCabe is actually going through some legal problems right now over the fact that he signed off on the FISA warrant which he knew to be based on a document that was complete nonsense- the Steele Dossier. That is 100% confirmation of the weaponization of the intelligence community, the IC, used specifically against a political opponent.”
