Don't blame Trump for being skeptical about Obama's Intelligence Community
It is the latest form of Trump bashing to criticize him for being skeptical of the information coming out of the intelligence community about the hacking of our elections.
Frankly, he'd have to be a moron to not be skeptical. Under Obama intelligence missed the rise of ISIS, missed the Russian invasion of the Crimea, missed Assad's comeback in Syria, missed the growth of the North Korean nuclear program, missed the signs of trouble in Benghazi, and missed the border crisis here at home.
Now, don't get me wrong, I realize they can't be right 100% of the time. And I recognize that they have done some things quite well.
The problem is there are some 17 difference agencies each with their own agenda and turf to protect. With 17 different entities, there are all sorts of possibilities for missed, lost, obfuscated, or simply false information. It's like that old Abbott and Costello routine: "who's on first?"
So, I for one, don't blame Trump for being skeptical.
