The Real Threat Is Inside: Why Trump Is Right to Purge Politicized Intel Agencies
by Mike Robertson

Intelligence Must Serve the Nation, Not a Party



Intelligence services exist to keep Americans safe — not to manipulate public perception or sabotage elected leaders. The ongoing leak investigation, now led by federal agents, must not stop at identifying the mole. It must result in real consequences. The individual or individuals who leaked the flawed Iran memo should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. As President Trump has rightly said, “This is going to get prosecuted.” And it should.

What’s most dangerous about this leak is not just the embarrassment it attempted to cause the administration. It’s the signal it sends to our enemies. When rogue agents undermine their own commander-in-chief, they weaken America’s global posture. Iran, Russia, and China are watching closely, eager to exploit our internal divisions. If parts of our intelligence infrastructure act like political operatives instead of security professionals, they endanger not just Trump’s policies — but America itself.

This isn’t simply about one bad actor with clearance. It’s about an entrenched culture of disloyalty. When unelected bureaucrats believe they have the right to override or undermine the decisions of an elected president, we stop being a constitutional republic and start looking more like a banana republic.
