Bringing Down a President
• https://www.lewrockwell.com By Philip GiraldiFirst came the leaked accounts of chaos in the Trump Administration derived from the Bob Woodward book Fear: Trump in the White House.
Then a New York Times op-ed entitled "I am part of the resistance inside the Trump administration" written by one Anonymous who claimed to be a senior official in the White House, exploded on the scene, describing how top officials were deliberately sabotaging Trump's policies to protect the country.
Finally, another op-ed "Why so many former intelligence officers are speaking out" by former CIA Acting Director John McLaughlin appeared, providing a rationale for intelligence officers to speak up against the White House.
There has been considerable chatter in the media regarding the Woodward book and the Anonymous op-ed, but relatively little concerning McLaughlin, who arguably has made the most serious case for pushback against Donald Trump from within the intelligence community. To sum up the op-ed, McLaughlin wrote that many former intelligence officers are beginning to speak out against the foreign policy of the Trump Administration because America's institutions are being seriously damaged by an "extraordinarily unprecedented context" of threats emerging from both inside and outside the country due to a "president's dangerous behavior."
