No, then the director of the CIA goes and presents the evidence to the press and allows themselves to be put on trial. If the spooks think it’s serious enough to go to war with politicians, it’s serious enough for them to put themselves on trial. ---

What if the political process is corrupted, and is the problem? Are they supposed to just report it to Trump, and then ignore it when he appoints Flynn anyway, even though they’ve just told Trump that Flynn is a major security risk, and susceptible to blackmail by the Russians? Are they supposed to report it to the spineless weasel Republicans in congress who seem incapable of any independent thought processes, and irregardless, have their noses so far up Trump’s behind that their eyes are brown? In summary; What do they do when the very people they are supposed to report to _are the ones lying and violating law and the constitution?_ ---

So far, the various agencies have been reporting to government officials (for example, the acting Atty Gen who Trump fired) and the media. I’m sure they are ready to help Congress investigate further. If Congress is willing to investigate. ---
