Flynn resignation: Fox, Breitbart focus on leaks

I would guess that there are SJW moles in every agency at this point. The problem is that they probably don't even think of themselves as moles.

Thank you Sir

LTC Trent Klug - What would you call it? This is what US Psyop does.
PSYOPS or Psychological Operations: Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator's objectives. Also called PSYOP. See also consolidation psychological operations; overt peacetime psychological operations programs; perception management. (Source: U.S. Department of Defense)

Psychological Operations are a vital part of the broad range of U.S. political, military, economic, and ideological activities used by the U.S. government to secure national objectives. PSYOP is the dissemination of truthful information to foreign audiences in support of U.S. policy and national objectives.

Used during peacetime, contingencies, and declared war, these activities are not a form of force, but are force multipliers that use nonviolent means in often violent environments. Persuading rather than compelling physically, they rely on logic, fear, desire or other mental factors to promote specific emotions, attitudes or behaviors. The ultimate objective of U.S. military psychological operations is to convince enemy, neutral, and friendly nations and forces to take action favorable to the United States and its allies.

Psychological operations support national security objectives at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of operations.

Strategic psychological operations advance broad or long-term objectives. Global in nature, they may be directed toward large audiences or at key communicators.

Operational psychological operations are conducted on a smaller scale. They are employed by theater commanders to target groups within the theater of operations. Their purpose can range from gaining support for U.S. operations to preparing the battlefield for combat.

Tactical psychological operations are more limited, used by commanders to secure immediate and near-term goals. In this environment, these force-enhancing activities serve as a means to lower the morale and efficiency of enemy forces.

Both tactical and theater-level psychological operations may be used to enhance peacetime military activities of conventional and special operations forces operating in foreign countries. Cultural awareness packages attune U.S. forces before departing overseas. In theater, media programs publicize the positive aspects of combined military exercises and deployments.

In addition to supporting commanders, psychological operations provide interagency support to other U.S. government agencies. In operations ranging from humanitarian assistance to drug interdiction, psychological operations enhance the impact of actions taken by those agencies. Their activities can be used to spread information about ongoing programs and to gain support from the local populace.

First of all, I would call it absolute stupidity on the democrats part, especially for a former presidential chief of staff to a) give up his password in a phishing scheme, and b) to not report the hacking after they found out it occurred. Second, the democrat candidate was an absolutely flawed individual who evoked about as much empathy or sympathy as a three week old road kill carcass. Third, no one but the faithful cared for, or voted for, the democrat candidate. Lastly, exactly whose behavior was changed? The country is split along political lines with about 45% of the country being dem; 45% being republican, and 10% independent.

So no. It definitely wasn't a PSYOP.

CPT Adam P. - As a former PSYOPer, we are NOT allowed to perform psychological operations on US citizens. That is a part of our doctrine and the punishment for that tends to be a little on the stiff side. It's nice that you looked up the CIA Worldbook definition of what PYSOP is but to not look...uninformed, ask the experts. We aren't hard to find

SSG Michael Hartsfield - I did not mean to imply that the US was conducting PSYOP, I was saying Russia conducted a PSYOP on US citizens. I'm not an expert, nor was I in PSYOP, but I was assigned to 1st IO on an assessment team and I went through all of their training on all five pillars of IO. As a cyber security professional, I used IO techniques that mimicked adversary techniques during training exercises across the Army and DoD.
