Lying and deceit are the agency’s most important job skills!

First job of any president is to clean house at Justice and CIA. Everyone knows this so it’s going to be open warfare for a while. Trump will break precedent with the past only insofar as he knows how to play for keeps.
Morell already quit.
Wikipedia: Since November 2013, he has been a Senior Counselor to Beacon Global Strategies LLC.
And, his claim that mass resignations will occur is basically bullshit. He doesn’t “speak” for anyone except democrats in office—soon to be unemployed next Friday.
Yeah, just like the Air Traffic Contollers’ strike ended air travel. LOL!
It would be super useful if someone can compile a list of leftists and deadwood in the CIA. The fools who will resign are just the start of what should be a serious purge.
Plus, their hiring practices need a major readjustment to get rid of the Ivy League “honorable schoolboys”, and replace them with graduates of non-Ivy League schools.
This would be much like the military replacement of inferior military academy graduates with ROTC graduates which took place out of necessity.
If all the politicized Valerie Plames in the agency resign, it will be far better for it.
This corruption of federal agencies began during the eight years of the Clinton Criminal Organization's Administration and G.W. Bush did nothing to correct it during his eight years in the White House. Obama only continued what Clinton started, and at this point our federal agencies just might be beyond the possibility of salvage.
“First, expect a wave of resignations. Attrition at the C.I.A., which has been remarkably low since Sept. 11, 2001, will skyrocket,”
No, I expect a wave of firings...mass would be just fine.
And without thinking, he pointed out, in the second sentence, the exact problem with the agency.
Truman founded the CIA!
Shortly, after JFK was killed, he wanted to limit the CIA to Intel collection.
HST founded the CIA, and he realized his creation had become something he didn’t want and became what/why he ended the OSS after WWII was over.
HST wrote this shortly after JFK was killed:
Harry Truman Writes:
Limit CIA Role (To Intelligence collection)
By Harry S Truman, INDEPENDENCE, MO., Dec. 21 1963

Is it past time for President Trump in 2017 to end the CIA with an ExO!?
President Truman did not trust the OSS and its increasing power.
At the end of WWII, he signed an ExO ending the OSS.
September 20, 1945, President Truman signed Executive Order 9621, terminating the OSS. His Order became effective October 1, 1945. In the days following, the functions of the OSS were split between the Department of State and the Department of War.
The State Department received the Research and Analysis Branch of OSS (originally created by Edward Mead Earle[28]) which was renamed the Interim Research and Intelligence Service or IRIS,[29] headed by U.S. Army Colonel Alfred McCormack. Later it was renamed the Bureau of Intelligence and Research by the State
Department.

a “wave of resignations”
And the more pragmatic agents who stay will see this as a chance to move up, as the dead weight above them removes itself.
Lying and deceit are the agency’s most important job skills!
Just like we heard the FBI agents will quit if illary is not indicted! BS!
Not as story, just the facts. I am not unique.
I assume you mean Congress when you use the word "parasites." I don't consider myself to be a parasite. I paid $71,000 in income taxes last year.
Key here is “former” CIA weenie ..... even the Obama administration didn’t want him.
Sanctimonious? No,just a bit pissed off.
Thanks for your military service but I still don’t see that a reason for six figure pension for 30 years.
Hell,I’ve gone months without electricity when we didn’t have money to pay.NO public assistance,either. I dragged 6 and 8”diameter tree limbs 250 yards across rough fields BY HAND while suffering with herniated back (uncompensated work injury) to the house so we(including my disabled father (non-smoker with COPD 30% lung function yet thrown off disability for two years)would be warm. Both in mild and in bitter freezing weather.I’ve wheelbarrowed cut pieces the same distance but uphill in other times.I’ve known what it is to eat cold food out of a can in the field and think it was GOOD!Not in ‘Nam though.I’ve gone to work hundreds of times with lunch a cheap pot pie or sandwich and little else. That WAS years ago in the 1980s.
I’ve also served the people for a few years as a ranger and had my confrontations with armed trespassers,thieves,and other emergencies.Lost that job due to local politics.
Not bragging,not whinging,just fact that a LOT of people who weren’t in the military/big government have had hardships yet don’t get to collect small fortunes for decades.I’m glad to have a steady job now even though my gross is less than your AND MANY other GOVERNMENT retirees pensions.Oh yeah,I passed plenty of tests with high scores in my younger years but no few,including the Post Office will hire “a back injury claim waiting to happen”.
One problem with some of them though...polygraphs operate on the principle that since the subjects know that it is wrong to lie, physical changes occur. Any who are followers of Islam to the degree that they fully believe in the rightness of taqiyya may be able to beat the tests, as they are certain that it is never wrong to lie to the Infidel on behalf of Islam. A minority, for sure, but a dangerous one.
You forgot your < /sarc > tag! But (off topic) have any of those "celebs" actually left, or scheduled their moving vans?
Pissed off at whom?

I served 36 years, 8 years in the USN and 28 in the State Department. My pension is similar to what a three star flag officer receives. The reason is simple: It is the law of the land. Congress set the rules for how federal employees are compensated. The President signed the bills to make them law.

How is that relevant to my service as a federal employee? I can recite a personal history of growing up with little money. I started working as a paper boy at the age of 14. I always had a job working after school, on weekends, and during the summer ranging from washing dishes, working on a golf course, and in a supermarket. Lots of menial, hard labor.

Sounds like whining to me. You had a choice to work in government or join the military. I volunteered to enter the military during a war out of patriotic duty, not to collect a small fortune for decades.

And my gross is less than many other people. It is all relative. We all have our personal stories. I can only take responsibility for my choices and the consequences. As Jimmy Carter said, "Life isn't fair."
You have already won life's lottery by being born in the US. I have seen real poverty and hopelessness in places like India, Bangladesh, Senegal, Ethiopia, etc. Emerson said this from his essay on self-reliance:
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on Chaos and the Dark.
That's kinda my point.
