Overall, do you trust the US intelligence community?

[All Along The Watchtower]

Relevant.

[ApatheticAustrian]

not a yes/no-question.

[Pericles]

Which part? The CIA is OK. But I loath that asshole Director  Comey, a Republican partisan (he's a Republican) who is solely focused on his own reputation.  Comey's selfishness annd stupidity led to Hillary Clinton's loss and the  Trump Presidency and the agency is  infested with Trump supporters. Comey should be fired and no mercy shown.

[pbrower2a]

More than I trust the President.

[Kingpoleon]

Not really. The more necessary they are, the less I trust them. I have very little trust in the CIA, although I trust the FBI. My trust in the FBI almost feels misplaced, though.

[ApatheticAustrian]

trust into what and which organizations?

telling the truth? upholding laws? keeping you safe?

[Beet]

I trust them for now.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

More than I trust the President.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Even if I trusted them to tell the truth (I don't), I don't trust them to act ethically or fiduciarily towards the American people or government.

[Middle-aged Europe]

No, but I trust them more than the Trump administration.

[bagelman]

I trust them more than their Russian counterparts

[KingSweden]

I read (and often write) books with spy thriller aspects, so I can't answer this question holistically.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I trust them more than the Trump administration.

I also trust them them to be doing what they think is best for the country, regardless of whether it is best for them personally. I don't necessarily trust their judgement as to what is best for this country of ours.

[Tartarus Sauce]

I trust them more than the Trump administration.

This.

I also trust them them to be doing what they think is best for the country, regardless of whether it is best for them personally. I don't necessarily trust their judgement as to what is best for this country of ours.

And this.

I'm not exactly confident in the intelligence community's assessment on what liberties we must sacrifice for our security, but I know that Trump doesn't give a fig about such philosophical and ethical conundrums and only cares about enriching himself.

-Same.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

No, but I trust them more than the Trump administration.

[Hermit For Peace]

I trust Trump less than I trust the intelligence community.

I have mixed feelings about the intelligence community because I know while they do some good things, on the other hand I believe they also engage in questionable behavior.

It's like a car salesperson, some of the things they tell you is the truth, but a lot of it is B.S., and you can't be exactly sure which is which.

With Trump, I have no trust in him whatsoever to do anything right for the country in the larger picture of things.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Of course not.

[Horus]

No, but I trust them more than the Trump administration.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Mini-bump.

FWIW, I'm not sure how much I can trust a bunch of anonymous leaks re: Russia from mostly unaccountable agencies that were originally founded with (and which have spent the vast majority of their existence focused on) the not-so-implicit purpose of fighting the Long War with Russia. Especially in light of the very real threats that said agencies perceive with regard to the Trump administration.

And no, I'm not excusing the actions of Trump's people or the Russian government.

[Kingpoleon]

Vince Flynn makes it quite clear we shouldn't trust them, just let them do their job.

[Meclazine for Israel]

No.

Wastes the taxpayers money on frivalous political witch hunts.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Not one bit.

[Sir Mohamed]

Yes. I trust them when they confirm or deny allegations against public officials and/or others. But I’m opposed to overreaching wiretapping and espionage against close allies and believe that some agencies or single professionals have violated the law. I also believe that there must be more and better congressional and judicial oversight.

[EnglishPete]

Not one bit.
