President Donald Trump is quickly losing his top intelligence officials, and his self-inflicted brain drain will continue to have dangerous consequences for US national security. The resignation of Sue Gordon -- the highest-ranking career intelligence official in the country -- after being passed over for the role of Acting Director of National Intelligence, will introduce unnecessary disruptions into an already strained intelligence community.
Sam VinogradMuch to his dismay, Trump isn't an oracle, and his disregard for intelligence in favor of his personal convictions has led policymakers to ignore or inappropriately react to threats like white nationalism, election attacks and North Korea. Trump's prolific personnel problems also signal to our enemies and allies that losing intelligence doesn't phase him -- setting the stage for actual threats to go unaddressed, while we witness the hollowing out of US intelligence.
