CIA Director Mike Pompeo made a blunt declaration Tuesday: "We are back in the business of stealing secrets.”
Last March then director Brennan, “We uncover, discover. reveal, obtain, elicit, solicit – the U.S. doesn’t steal secrets.”

“Mike Pompeo, hands Brennan, a classic Bitch Slap.”
To me this tends to go against the argument that CIA is against Trump. I would think they would relish things being back to the way they used to be such as under President Reagan.
We probably should have keep kept that a secret
I suspect there are two or more CIAs.
There’s the traditional service CIA. Then there’s the Clintonista CIA that began when Bill “The Rapist” Clinton was POTUS.
The Clintonistas have been in the system long enough now to have their degenerate hooks into much of the mid level and lower/upper level bureaucracy of the CIA.
Enemy lovers, the lot of ‘em, Clintonistas. Totalitarian scumbags as well.
It’s looking more and more like the French were on to something when they decided to remove their aristocracy. The actual evil was that they simply didn’t go far enough to prevent the next poser emperor from walking in and taking over.
The CIA is riddled with libtards. Ofc not all of the CIA is anti-Trump, but plenty of them are.
Just look at scum like Valerie Plame and then think about what 8 years of the Obamanation gave us....
Great, Mike! Can we help?
To me it sounds like the days when OSS -> CIA charter. Intel for the USA, not against Americans. It may also mean a number of malignant assets are now seeking employment.
That pretty much covers the whole CIA bureaucracy:)
Bless your heart.
8 years of Clinton plus 8 more of Hussein. Bush, like previous Republicans did not clean house so the Clintonites who have not died o retired are still there. Reagan didn’t clean house, either and had the old Yale anti American crew reinforced with the Carter ops. Reagan simply went around the CIA for assessments and the like.
My favorite story of the CIA tells why Reagan went around it. Reagan had a degree in Economics and understood that the CIA’s annual economic assessments of the USSR were not possible. The CIA had been saying since the 50s that the Ussr’s economy was about 50% of the American economy and was growing at a rate about twice as fast. That is nonsensical to anyone who understands basic economics or who can do arithmetic.
Great, Mike! Can we help?

Great Caesar’s Ghost! HOW can We help?
True, we have decades of liberal, treasonous scum embedded at all levels of the intel agencies and the rest of the federal bureaucracies. Trump really does face the Herculean task of cleaning the Augean Stables.
Part of the answer is to eliminate the agencies. That is another existential requirement. Don’t reform them. Don’t trim them. Kill them. Put all their employees into the real economy to swim or to sink. If EPA or DOE or the other DOE or FDA are merely truncated and whittled down they will rise again in to again smother the Republic. It can’t be done through Congress. That’s why I really hope that that tiny chance comes to pass, that Trump is or becomes a Pinochet variation of the Bonaparte. The Republic is over and has been over for a long time. It can’t be trimmed back into shape. It requires a heavy hand, a napoleon. Unfortunately history is replete with such and there is only one, at lest that I know of, that stepped down when the work was finished and that is Pinochet. He was a bit tardy but when he was told by the Pope that it was past time and he complied. Maybe one has to be a serious Catholic for that sort of thing to happen.
Was never a secret - all he did was point out how Brennan and others “nuanced” what they did to try to cover their asses for all the illegal actions they took against American Citizens, Stealing secrets is what the CIA does.
As an American,I exercised my right to send a letter to the Trump White House.
In that letter, I questioned Mr. Trump if it were possible, to return to the twin pillars of intelligence, that worked well up through World War 2, Korea, and Vietnam. The F.B.I. tasked with all CONUS work, and the C.I.A. tasked with all work offshore. I questioned the need for more than these two intelligence activities, considering that more activities siphoned good money after bad. I interjected the idea of having ‘rabid Americans’ becoming employed by these activities, too.
I hope that my ideas have come under consideration.
Stupid or naive. You don't change years of bad behavior in 70 days.
The reason we ended up in a was because of stupid people who thought this: “Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail.”
Wiki entry:
Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson made this decision, and years later in his memoirs made the oft-quoted comment:
“Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail.”
Stimson’s ethical reservations about cryptanalysis focused on the targeting of diplomats from America’s close allies, not on spying in general. Once he became Secretary of War during World War II, he and the entire US command structure relied heavily on decrypted enemy communications.

I don’t want them stealing secrets. I want them gone. Disbanded. Rebuild from the ground up.
That pretty much covers the whole CIA bureaucracy:)
