Fmr. Intel Fred Fleitz: Must 'keep politics out' of CIA, FBI, calls for 'major house cleaning' of US spy community

Fred Fleitz, former Chief of Staff to The Trump National Security Council and Vice Chair of America First Policy Institute, discusses the politicization of the intelligence community after recent reports have emerged that Intelligence officials are now admitting that they made up or went with really bad unverifiable intelligence, to preempt the Russians. The intelligence expert comments that intelligence officers should not have gone along with “material that is being politicized to promote policies that Intel doesn't actually support.” Saying, “they're undermining the credibility of the intelligence community.” Fleitz comments that the only way to stop politics from corrupting the world of the intelligence community, is to have a “major housecleaning of these agencies”. Saying, “the whole top floor” of some of these agencies need to be fired, “we have to bring in people, not to politicize it, but to keep politics out of the work.”
