Halperin: Trump Has to Recognize that These Leaks Won’t Stop

‘If he really wants to make intelligence stronger, if he really wants to change relationships with other countries, he needs to work with the existing bureaucracy or he’ll lose’

EXCERPT:

HALPERIN: "You can be a populist who wants to change Washington and still develop relationships with all of these institutions. He has not. And he does not seem to have asked himself why are these leaks happening and what is the motivation of the people. For a lot of them, it’s not political. It’s not personal. It is because they are worried about what is happening and they're trying to get the word out. He and the people have to recognize that this will not stop. Even as the Obama Administration fades, this will not stop. He wants change. If he really wants to make intelligence stronger, if he really wants to change relationships with other countries, he needs to work with the existing bureaucracies or he’ll lose."
