Former Klingon Official Suggests Trump Is a Threat on Par With ISIS, North Korea
Price has previously drawn attention for a February Washington Post op-ed saying he chose to leave the CIA because of President Donald Trump. Price suggested while appearing on "Morning Joe" that the White House should be considered a threat because America's enemies could potentially take advantage of it. MSNBC's Willie Geist asked Price about the relationship between the President and the intelligence community, especially in light of Trump's reported recent disclosure of classified information to Russian officials. "This is not a president who has ever had a good relationship with the intelligence community, and in fact, even before he was president as the Republican nominee, he just casually dismissed the high-confidence findings of all 17 intelligence agencies that Russia meddled in the election," Price said. Price went on to emphasize how he felt the President had misstepped in relation to the intelligence community before implying that the President might represent a national security threat. "Last week we had this hearing of all of our national security officials on worldwide threats, and of course they covered ISIL, they covered Syria, North Korea," Price said, referring to the hearing which featured the first public inquiry on the firing of former FBI Director James Comey. "I think we have to start asking ourselves, at what point does this administration itself become a threat we have to be concerned about?" Price continued. Detailed from the CIA to "Onward Together" ?
