Someone commented yesterday, quite astutely, that people that are placed (yes placed) into position as SOTH are put there because they harbor deep dark bad secrets and therefore take direction very well. Think Dennis Hastert.

How about firing The Muslim CIA director first.

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.

Is it past time for President Trump in 2017 to end the CIA with an ExO!?

Or maybe fire anyone, who fails a new lie detector test proving that they were and are a threat to America. Like anyone who has spied on Americans or tried to overthrow a foreign leader without permission from Congress.

Funny how to the Left, the CIA used to be “Public Enemy Number 1”.

End CIA?

I’d say ‘start over from scratch’

I added a few words to your excellent analysis. Now we have a colossal behemoth of a bureaucracy, which is like hundreds/thousands of rogue pit bulls off leash, and which threatens even our domestic politics and American citizens, senators, congressmen and governors.

Yeah go back to the days of Frank Church and it’s a complete 180. My feeling is it’s the political appointees that are the immediate problem but how far down the rot has set in we don’t know.

“...we’re in far more serious trouble than we think.”

I think we are.

Yeah, it’s an important idea that will be the target of suppression, so it needs to be aired.

Screw the people - So what. Move on, no story there.

Screw with the liars, thieves and perverts - all Hell breaks loose. Of course, nothing is done.

The Department of State is authorized 15,000 foreign service officers/specialists and have about 17,500 (another 50K civil service and foreign service nationals support state). The CIA imbeds itself throughout the Dept of State in undercover and some “declared” spy positions; they also impregnate the Peace Corps, USAID, Treasury, Spec Ops, etc. So in essence the CIA is integrated into many agencies and American corporations. If yo look at the Department of State manning across the world, you will see there are more than 15,000 or 17,500 people in Foreign Service positions.

How the Hell did the Republicans ever approve this guy?

Go along to get along. Reaching across the aisle. Lack of a spine. Complicity with the left's globalist goals.

America may have already ceased to be free.

Just look at how the Dems, tried to run a rigged nomination process.

A lot rests with the integrity of Donald J Trump.

I have no recollection of this controversy. I do recall Rand Paul and Ted Cruz filibusters, but don’t remember Brennan being a key reason. So many rotten schemes were in play during the Obama years, (Bergdahl, that army doc. who waged bloody jihad and killed over 20 enlisted, Fast and Furious, the Lois Lerner outrages, etc.) this must have been overlooked.

Can Brennan and everyone else hired by Obama.

JFK promised to smash the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the wind.
