In addition to polluting and controlling the information space, it seems like Trump’s goal is to undermine as many of the checks and balances of our institutions as possible. I’m curious how much awareness, and subsequent pushback and workarounds, there will be within the intelligence community and throughout the military.

Hopefully the more outlandish picks won’t be confirmed, but worst case scenario, will there still be avenues within the intelligence community to keep the proper personnel informed and our country safe? I understand the importance of respecting rank, but I assume many of those men and women, who value country over party, will see the existential risk these decisions pose.
