Rule #1 for intelligence: don’t politicize it

That’s why the KGB was always terrible at analyzing the intel it created. It told the bosses what they wanted to hear, always.

Max Boot is absolutely right here.

Rumor for the guy who is being considered for the permanent job? Doug Collins.

It’s now a parody.

  Nothing political about that guy. A true IC professional.

    Other than his last week on the job (when he defended the CIA from Trump's Deep State attacks), he didn't start criticizing Trump until he left his post and entered the private sector.

Agree on the principle. Too bad the IC was already politicized.

You are too late to the party on this. Not sure we can go back. Maybe we can. We'll see.

Our CIA was a bogeyman for the left for decades... what happened?

  That’s why is ludicrous to suggest they are in some type of coup conspiracy with the left.

    There was never any conscious coup conspiracy... just a bunch of people who felt he was dangerous

        My point remains unchallenged, because, by board rules, the first person to yell "Whataboutism!" wins because all allegations of hypocrisy are thereby erased. It's as if they never existed.

    Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Brennan and Clapper are held accountable for lying and leaking, it will always appear we have a 2 tiered justice system. And then you have a lawyer for the Whistle blower saying that the "coup has started" but it's nothing to see here, move along. Hills was never help accountable for the bullshit she pulled with the emails and phones. But thats ok right?
    
    We just have to hope that Durham has something coming for these scumbags. I doubt it because this shit runs pretty deep.
