Former Rep. Devin Nunes has been appointed by former President Donald Trump as the chairman of a private board that will advise him on intelligence matters. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, a platform he launched after being banned from mainstream social media sites.
In his announcement, Trump stated, “I am pleased to announce that I will appoint Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes as Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, which consists of distinguished citizens from outside of the Federal Government. While continuing his leadership of Trump Media & Technology Group, Devin will draw on his experience as former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and his key role in exposing the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, to provide me with independent assessments of the effectiveness and propriety of the U.S. Intelligence Community’s activities. Congratulations Devin!”
However, it is important to note that Nunes did not actually expose any hoaxes as claimed by Trump. In reality, Nunes used his position as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee to leak details of the Mueller investigation and other Trump-related investigations to the former president. Nunes essentially acted as a mole for Trump in Congress, working to undermine the nation’s intelligence community.
With Nunes now in an advisory role to Trump, there are concerns that he will continue to undermine the intelligence community, putting national security at risk. Trump’s ongoing attacks on the Department of Justice and the intelligence community could potentially jeopardize the entire country’s security.
As the transition unfolds, it is crucial to pay attention to the threats that Trump’s actions pose to national security. By appointing individuals like Nunes, who have a history of undermining intelligence agencies, Trump is creating a situation where the US intelligence capacity could be severely compromised, leaving the country vulnerable to external threats.
In conclusion, it is essential to remain vigilant and hold those in power accountable for their actions that could potentially harm the nation’s security. The appointment of Devin Nunes as the chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board raises serious concerns about the future of US intelligence under the Trump administration.
