The CIA was founded explicitly to make sure there was never again a surprise attack on the US that killed thousands of Americans. The CIA obviously, and in spite of having all the information available to analyze, failed on 9/11.
Do just like JFK said and break it into a thousand pieces. Then carefully build an actual Intelligence capability rather than a covert operations agency that operates as it damn well pleases no matter what We The People want and our elected officials permit.
Don't just scratch the surface of the "Ukraine scandal", dig into it with back hoes and you'll find a whole history of corruption shared with the political Deep State dating back to the Clinton Administration.
The CIA went way out of line in Vietnam but was mostly brought back under control afterwards. The fact that it spun out of control again proves it isn't even an agency of the American government any more but instead nation unto itself with duchies and fiefdoms around the world.
No man can serve two masters, it's time to fire the entire CIA and find personnel that will serve the United States of America first and no other master second.
”Do just like JFK said and break it into a thousand pieces”
JFK. Nixon. Trump.
I’m beginning to see a pattern here.
