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.

Exhibit A: John Brennan.

Nothing political about that guy. A true IC professional.
(no message)
His whole career was not political
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.
Nice.

“do you know how to handle this flame-thrower?” - “yes sir I do”
“Good, I need a man of your skill level to protect this city from marauders “. - “ I can do it sir”
EXTRA EXTRA.

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.
No. They were not. Not close.
Still waiting for the day you have an accurate perspective of the real world.
Still waiting for you to acknowledge the political acts of Brennan, Clapper and others.
I will welcome you to the real world when you are ready.

This the day after the Intel community leaks a Russian story v. Trump.

Our CIA was a bogeyman for the left for decades... what happened?
And... Hollywood made a fortune on films in which our intelligence organizations were the evil doers.
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
So far... we've been lucky.
Chris thinks your premise is silly.

Not my premise, but I agree with Curly.
Do you have anything relevant to say?
Chris thinks you are being silly. Only point I wanted to make.
(no message)
Thanks Capt Obvious. It wasn’t my premise as you assert.
I do agree with it though.
You should take it up with Chris.
Or, do you only shadow certain people in this forum?
Me shadowing? Dude, take a look at who is following whom around
You are the one responding to me, constantly, and even mentioning me in posts to others.
It’s not even close as to who is doing the stalking.
Whataboutism!
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.
You are nuts.

Do you dare challenge the sanctity of Whataboutism? Typical.

Just silly.

It may appear silly to you Dems but until people like
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.
Well said.
