Then, Trump can use an Executive Order to disband the CIA!

Truman founded the CIA, with an Executive Order..

Shortly, before JFK was killed, he apparently 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

http://www.maebrussell.com/Prouty/Harry%20Truman’s%20CIA%20article.html

So, a simple ExO by President Trump reversing/ending Truman’s ExO to end the OSS and to start the CIA, can eliminate the CIA.

The usual way to get rid of a bad govt employee is to promote him.

From article
President Trump is looking at shifting CIA Director Mike Pompeo to the White House as national security adviser, according to a report Wednesday evening.
The move would bump H.R. McMaster, the current national security adviser. McMaster, a three-star Army general, would in turn be sent to Afghanistan to command U.S. forces in that country, the New York Times reported, citing several unnamed administration officials. The move could help McMaster earn his fourth star.

Because Siberia is in RUSSIA so he can’t send him there.

Great idea, but I’d wait until after North Korea ceases to exist, if Trump really intends to destroy it this year. That has priority. Now if Trump doesn’t plan that, by all means put McMaster in charge of US forces in Afghanistan. That is far enough away from here. And give McMaster a fourth star if that is an appropriate rank for the position.

Trump To Replace McMaster And Ship Him To Afghanistan?

President Trump hopefully will delete a lot of departments from Government forever.

Where in the world is Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell?

I noticed that they never support their Commander in Chief President Trump!

Boy do they need to go.

Yes they do. But I’ll got a step further; McMaster wants his fourth star more than anything, and Trump will put him in the first joint or Army four-star billet that comes open, probably some backwater job like FORSCOM. General Abrams, the incumbent, has already been there two years, so he already has one foot out the door. No reason his retirement can’t be accelerated, and McMaster will be shuffled off to Bragg. Then, perhaps President Trump can hire a real National Security Advisor.

4 stars go where the CIC tells them to go.

A key problem in Afghanistan is the Rules of Engagement.
Next is proximity to Afghan troops of questionable alliance.

Don’t allow them to be armed near U.S. troops.
I don’t care how awkward that is.

Dead is awkward.
