They meet Fr. Paul Shaugnessy’s definition of ‘sociological corruption’.

From a distance, the CIA reminds me of the Burdick / Lederer take on the Foreign Service ca. 1954, offered through the voice of their protagonist, Gilbert MacWhite. MacWhite sends a letter to his superior telling him that in his time in Southeast Asia, about 300 Americans had passed through the embassy. By his estimate, about six were doing useful work in the American interest. MacWhite is replaced as ambassador by a lushington who was recruited to the Foreign Service from the staff of an ad agency.

There is growing interest in “weeding out” much of the Intel community.
Here is one argument.

At the moment, it isn’t very impressive in either of the two main activities with which it’s entrusted: spying on our enemies and supporting our friends. You can see this easily enough. The Israelis, not the CIA et al., made off with the Iranians’ secret nuclear plans. So much for effective espionage. And there are two very closely linked enemies, Iran and Venezuela, that should be prime targets for subversion, but we don’t seem to be making good progress.

The CIA networks in China and Iran have been rolled up and executed over the last several years due to leaks, traitors or failure of cryptography.

The CIA and MI6 seem to have been too busy trying to overthrow the US President.

does saying a basic truth imply something? is it accidental or meant to?

the dems think the most important thing he said was that it was not up to his office to prosecute the president that is something for congress…

a basic truth of his office and powers..

one of the things i have a tussle with all the time is that i say things quite plainly and its quite obvious that people live in a world of deluded inuendo and a plain sentence is a world wind of suppositional thinking over what could be a plain sentence.

its quite clever in that such plain truths that say nothing, imply nothing, etc.
are rorschach test in that it allows a person to paint whatever bias or point they want to it, as it supports nothing, denies nothing, and is akin to stating the sky is blue..

Kind of sort of reminds me of the scene in “Life of Brian” where he loses a sandal:
The Shoe Is The Sign – The Beginning

on another note the dems are screaming we have to get him OUT before he uncovers what? see below:

Former Obama administration director of national intelligence James Clapper admitted that former president Barack Obama gave the order to Peter Strzok to kick off his Operation Crossfire Hurricane targeting of President Donald Trump.

Obama — who also gave a stand-down order on stopping alleged Russian hacking — was personally implicated in the plot according to Peter Strzok and Lisa Page’s texts. Clapper confirms the obvious.

They got voter fraud for that, don’t worry. And criminal or migrant votes. Don’t worry about that “general American public” non sense.

Recent brain damage? Head hitting the window shield, baseball to the frontal lobe? Otherwise your comment is just more leftist propaganda. Try again to sound cognizant. 🙂
