The CIA/NSA etc... have rather ham hamhandedly painted themselves into a corner with this brazenly open foray into partisan politics and soft coup attempt. I had a lot of respect for these people at one time but over time have come to view them as enemies of freedom, especially when the warrant less searches on US citizens as a whole came out into public view. This was clearly against the law and blatantly NKVD like behavior.
The intel community can clean themselves up and try and look respectable or continue their downward slide into corruption and take on the same reputations as the IRS, VA and ATF, bottom dwellers.
That bunch IS making Ed Snowden look better with every passing day.
