Former Intelligence Officer: Trump Will Die in Jail

The curious "former" counterintelligence officer, John Schindler (formerly NSA, NAVSECGRU, NWC), who somehow managed to get a regular column at the rag, The Observer, run by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has sent out a tweet hinting that Trump "will die in jail," because of actions he has taken in conjunction with Russian intelligence.

Schindler's columns at The Observer tend to be slick rehashes of already public information about Russia, Trump, and Trump aides. In the columns, he doesn't exactly connect the dots but writes as if he has.

Today, he has taken things to new levels. It is not clear if he has sources in the intelligence community feeding him intel or imagined sources fueled by too much brewski.

This is his profile picture.

Perhaps a combination of brewskis and the resignation of Michael Flynn has emboldened him today.

He sent out this tweet earlier:

Now we go nuclear. IC war going to new levels. Just got an EM fm senior IC friend, it began: "He will die in jail."https://t.co/e6FxCclVqT

By this tweet, it is unclear if he meant Trump but he followed it up with this:

Now the official #LockHerUp brigade is upset that I said Trump could go to...jail.

But he also seemed to walk it back:

Again, not remotely what I said, but when you have to shill for the Kremlin, #facts are irrelevant.#FakeRussianNewshttps://t.co/h3xBZrby06

And ended with this:

OK, been a long Twitter day already, peeps. Time for a break to recharge batteries. Hot tub inbound, Modelo chilling.

Cheers!
