Spicer Denies Trump Wants To Restructure Intel Community: '100 Percent False'

Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Thursday that reports President-elect Donald Trump is working on plans to restructure the intelligence community are "100 percent false."

"These reports are false," Spicer told reporters on a conference call Thursday morning. "All transition activities are for information-gathering purposes and all discussions are tentative."

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday evening that Trump and his transition team were working on a plan to restructure the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA because Trump believes they are biased against him.

Spicer told reporters that Trump's "top priority" would be ensuring the security and safety of the United States.

a threat to the intelligence community, is what it is. Get in line or this will happen. Fuck him and his games. According to WaPo, Trump also keeps trying to change the date and time of th briefing on the Russian hacks.

given the mendacity of all their other "promises."

Or at least, they will try.
