This story:  "If its members [the U.S. intelligence community] feel that their voice is being ignored, they will strike back, including by leaking information to the media that could damage the Trump administration."

This is an incredible insight.  In fact, one theory about the presidential election is that the intelligence agencies perceived Hillary Clinton as too much of a risk to be allowed to become president, and it is they who released the confidentail e-mails to the public and NOT the Russians.  Of course, the intelligence people always have a "cover" for their activities.  So the "Russians did it" is their cover.
