Thee Con just said the relationship between the President Elect and the Intelligence Community

has been irreparably harmed & they all have to go! Jesus Christ, he wants to fire then ALL! Hell, I was worried before because were were so many intel people who were going to quit because they didn't want to work for the Con. Having so many untrained people isn't good. NOW he wants to fire the bosses!

I don't have a link. This was stated on Daily MTP with Chuck Todd.
