#2  I would also respectfully suggest that Gov. Christie consult with General Mattis and General Jack Keane: smart, experienced former commanders who have given a great deal of thought to, and sound advice to Congress regarding, the current administration’s strategic and intelligence voids.

Perfect. And surround the retired Generals with aggressive law enforcement and criminal intelligence pros - ones that hunt and drag the bad guys to the ground on a daily basis...not the smug "intellectual" "intel" folks that only provide vague products unfit for targeting and only used for rationalization.

#1  The manipulation, driven by Obama’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and carried out in the Defense Department by senior Central Command (CENTCOM) officers, aimed to downplay the jihadist threat.

It is very clear the intelligence community has been both politicized and compromised. Trump would be wise to assemble a fusion cell of Grey Beards who could meet periodically and render observations and recommendations.
