Trump’s order removing the national security clearance of former Obama Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as well as his announced review to consider removing the national security clearances of others related to the Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele dossier and related Clinton-Democrat scandals.

Weisman New York Times August 19, 2018 A startling opinion survey released this summer revealed just how wide is the rift between the world’s two largest Jewish communities.
