Apparently, US intelligence organizations can be numbered among Donald Trump’s “political opponents.” This is a very scary precedent for an American president to adopt. It is, as Trump would say, “unpresidented.
What has happened is that pressure is mounting, allegations are coming fast and furious about Trump’s ties to Putin, and the guiltier he looks the more he casts about for enemies to blame as a distraction.
