After a rude dressing down where CIA director Mike Pompeo was treated like a child by Trump, the director was forced to issue a statement denying that intel agencies were withholding information from Trump. Not, don't withhold intel, deny the report. He subsequently issued a lukewarm statement reminiscent of Trump's “not that I know of” when questioned about Russia connections.
What an amateur hour shit show this administration is, forced to admit Kellyanne’s face “did not turn to stone” and now this. Unfortunately Americans seem to think this is a sign of a decisive leader according to ursulafaw’s diary . Once again we can only imagine the hysteria this would have induced if this were Obama’s admin acting so chaotically. Democrats need to criticize at every opportunity and are much too quiet about this.
CBS News has learned that on Thursday, an angry President Trump called CIA Director Mike Pompeo and yelled at him for not pushing back hard enough against reports that the intelligence community was withholding information from the commander-in-chief.
The agency then drafted a strongly worded statement rebutting the claim. “We are not aware of any instance when that has occurred,” read Pompeo’s statement. “It is CIA’s mission to provide the President with the best intelligence possible and to explain the basis for that intelligence. The CIA does not, has not, and will never hide intelligence from the President, period.”
