The Central Intelligence Agency Versus Donald J. Trump by Jacob G. Hornberger

It is both pathetic and laughable that Democrats, the mainstream press, and Donald Trump critics are referring to the Central Intelligence Agency agent who turned in President Trump for his telephone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky as a "whistleblower."

It is pathetic because it denigrates real whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, John Kiriakou, Chelsea Manning, Thomas Drake, and William Binney.

Those people are the courageous ones. They risked their careers, their liberty, and even their lives to expose criminal wrongdoing within the national-security state agencies they were working for.

That is not what that supposed Central Intelligence Agency agent did when he filed his complaint against President Trump.

He did not blow the whistle on his agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, by exposing some secret dark-side practices, such as MK-Ultra drug experimentation on unsuspecting United States of Americans, secret assassinations of United States of Americans, secret assets within the mainstream press, or secret destruction of torture videotapes of incarcerated inmates at a top-secret CIA prison center in some former Soviet-bloc country.

If he had done that, the Central Intelligence Agency would have come after him with all guns blaring, just as the national-security establishment has gone after Mr. Snowden and those other genuine whistleblowers.

In fact, that is how one can usually identify a genuine whistleblower.

That is obviously not happening here.

Instead, the national-security establishment is hailing this "whistleblower" as being a brave and courageous hero for disclosing supposed wrongdoing by President Trump, not by the Central Intelligence Agency.

That anti-Trump Central Intelligence Agency agent is not a whistleblower at all.

Instead, he is nothing more than a spy and a snitch. He is obviously a spy.

After all, he works for the Central Intelligence Agency, the premier spy agency in the world.

And by turning in President Trump in an obvious attempt to get him into trouble, he is also obviously a snitch.

A "gotcha" moment

In fact, the entire episode has a "gotcha" feeling to it.

For almost three years, United States of Americans have been made to suffer under a constant stream of speeches, commentaries, op-eds, and editorials about what Donald Trump rightly called the "collusion delusion" theory.

Democrats, the mainstream press, and Donald Trump critics were 100 percent certain that their real-life hero Robert Mueller, the special counsel, was going to find evidence that Donald Trump conspired with Russian officials to deny Hillary Clinton her rightful place as president of the United States.

They had impeachment plans set in place, ready to go.

And then Mr. Mueller dashed their hopes.

His report disclosed that the collusion delusion was the biggest conspiracy theory in United States history, one openly promoted by Democrats, the mainstream press, and Donald Trump critics on a daily basis for almost three years.

All they needed and wanted was an opportunity - any opportunity - to apply their impeachment process to another set of a facts.

Fortunately for them, President Trump himself gave them that opportunity.

That supposed Central Intelligence Agency agent was ready with a "gotcha!" and proceeded to snitch on President Trump with his "whistleblower" complaint.

Donald Trump is obviously a smart man, both businesswise and politically.

But to make that telephone call to Mr. Zelensky and request him to investigate Joe Biden, while holding up a foreign aid package to Ukraine, immediately after being exonerated by Mr. Mueller of the collusion delusion allegation, was about the dumbest thing he could do.

How could he not realize that his enemies would be looking for any opportunity to set their impeachment process into motion against him?

The likely explanation lies with arrogance and hubris.

After President Trump got his exoneration on the collusion delusion accusation, he figured that he was now all-powerful and could do whatever he wanted.

The fact that he was, at the same time, exercising such dictatorial powers as raising tariffs, starting trade wars, building his Berlin Wall along the border, and imposing sanctions and embargoes, all without the consent of the United States Congress, was also making him feel omnipotent and untouchable.

His admiration for foreign dictators no doubt filled his mind with the same sense of totalitarian, untouchable power.

That is what likely caused President Trump to give his enemies the "gotcha" episode for which they were clearly thirsting.

President Trump turned out to be his own very worst enemy.

National security enmity toward Trump

Despite his campaign rhetoric against "endless wars," President Trump has kept United States troops in Afghanistan and the Middle East, where they have continued to kill, die, and wreak massive destruction.

He has also authorized the continuation of the Pentagons and Central Intelligence Agencys assassination program.

He has also continued the Pentagons and Central Intelligence Agencys indefinite detention and torture center at Guantanamo Bay.

He has done nothing to rein in the National Security Agency and its secret surveillance schemes.

The fact is that President Trumps term in office, despite his “"America First" rhetoric, has proven to be nothing more than a continuation of the Bush-Obama administrations.

That is what he should be impeached for, but unfortunately his critics feel that those high crimes do not rise to the level of impeachable offenses.

But it is also true that President Trump has failed to demonstrate the complete deference to authority of the national-security establishment that Hillary Clinton and other Washington, D.C., political elites have.

President Trumps failure to bend the knee to the national-security establishment made him suspect from the very beginning, especially since the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were certain that their chosen candidate, Ms Hillary Clinton, was going to be the new president.

Thus, there has been a war between Donald Trump and the national-security establishment from even before he was elected and especially after he was elected.

In a remarkable moment of candor and honesty, Congressman Charles Schumer, commenting on the war between Donald Trump and the national-security establishment, stated, "Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community - they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you."

One way of getting back at President Trump is, of course, through assassination, a power that the Supreme Court has confirmed that the national-security state wields against United States of American citizens, so long it is necessary to protect "National Security."

Another way of getting back at President Trump is smear tactics through the use of assets within the mainstream press. The Central Intelligence Agencys Operation Mockingbird comes to mind.

Coup through impeachment

And other option to get back at President Trump is through impeachment and conviction, especially through assets within the United States Congress.

But before any collusion-delusion proponent cries "conspiracy theory," recall that President Eisenhower warned United States of Americans in his 1961 Farewell Address about the threat that the "military-industrial complex" poses to the liberties and democratic processes of the American people.

Actually, Ike planned to use the term "military-industrial-congressional complex" but changed his mind at the last minute.

He was referring to the intimate, integrated relationship between members of the United States Congress and the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency.

At the risk of belaboring the obvious, President Eisenhower is not perceived to be a "conspiracy theorist," the term that the Central Intelligence Agency popularized to keep people from examining the John F.Kennedy assassination too closely.

Speaking of the John F. Kennedy assassination, early in his administration President Trump announced that he intended to comply with the deadline for releasing the Central Intelligence Agencys long-secret records relating to the assassination. At the very last minute, President Trump folded and granted the CIAs request for continued secrecy.

Why did Trump do that?

One possibility is that he became convinced that "National Security" would be jeopardized if the United States of American people were to see the CIAs long-secret JFK assassination records.

Another possibility is that he struck some sort of secret negotiated deal with the CIA.

A third possibility is that he figured that if he would ingratiate himself with the CIA in the hope that they would leave him alone. If that was the case, President Trump might well go down as one of the most naïve presidents in United States history.
