Bombshell-CIA agents issue major threat to Trump, they went too far

Silly Liberals, issuing a threat against someone who has more power than you is never a good idea.

The CIA is threatening mass resignations after Donald Trump takes office. Former CIA acting director Michael Morell said Trump’s “rhetoric” will cause a “wave of resignations” that will impact the agency’s ability to work with intelligence services around the world, the Hill reports.

“First, expect a wave of resignations. Attrition at the C.I.A., which has been remarkably low since Sept. 11, 2001, will skyrocket,” Morell wrote in a New York Times opinion column. “The primary motivator for some of our smartest minds to go to work at the C.I.A. is to make a difference to national security, to play a role in keeping the country safe.”

The President-elect is NOT going to America less safe, he is just going to put the right people in charge! Morell is correct about the mission of the CIA, at least.

If the staffers at the agency are so thin-skinned they cannot handle it when called to task for shoddy work, then we really need some new people in the agency anyway.

The mindset and demeanor of the Liberal agency leaders may have infected the ranks. That would be a shame, but a President Trump would have no problem finding highly skilled tech analysts in the private sector and bring in new recruits from within the government who have long been passed over because their views on world affairs were too Conservative and common sense imposed for the Barack Obama administration.

“All of the sacrifices — from the long hours, polygraph tests, unfair media criticism, not to mention the real dangers to life and limb — are worth it, if you are making a difference,” Morell continued. Unfair media criticism? The mainstream media has been carrying the water for the Obama administration for eight years – including the findings of the lackluster Russian hackers investigation.

Perhaps leaking the top secret report on the DNC hacking to NBC BEFORE it was given to Donald Trump has not endeared CIA brass to the President-elect. Morell went on to dub Trump’s comments about the Russian hacking investigation an “unprecedented political challenge for our national security establishment” and “a danger to the nation.”

Being questioned about the thoroughness of findings in an intelligence report is due diligence on the president-elect’s part. When neither the FBI nor the CIA even looked at the hacked laptops or the DNC server before deciding Russia did it, there is ample room for an authenticity and accuracy challenge from an incoming president.

The CIA is not supposed to be a politicized agency. But over the course of the past eight years it, like the Pentagon, has becoming increasingly partisan.

“His [Trump] disparagement of American intelligence officers over the last few months is likely to cause significant damage to the CIA,” Morell added. “Why would a foreign intelligence service take the CIA seriously (and share important information with it) when the American president doesn’t?”

The correct question to be asking is WHY doesn’t the future president take the CIA seriously – the agency heads should be scurrying to fix their credibility problem and not making inane threats. Trump will leave no Washington, D.C. swamp left un-drained.

Get rid of the left leaning Hillary supporters at the CIA.

If they don't leave Trump and the newly appointed CIA chief should fire them. Get people who will give us good and accurate Intel. Not the scrubbed crap they put out now. Missed 9/11, Benghazi, Arab Spring, Libya, ISIS, Crimea, Syria to name just a few of the missed Intel.

The CIA proves itself to be a leftist think tank so full of overly compensated bureaucrats as to be totally ineffective, redundant and dangerous to America.

Those whose motive is truly national security (and there are many) won't be leaving. As to the rest of 'em -- good riddance.

If they are considering resigning due to Trump becoming President, then that would be pretty damning evidence that they were not 'some of our smartest minds' to begin with.

Rule #1
Ask all CIA agents for their resignation to be reviewed.

Mass Resignation? Headshake, that’s stupid talk.

In my opinion, Michael Morell is toast. Trump will FIRE him.

Yes, there is surgery that needs to be done in the “intelligence” circles. And Trump is just the man to do the job.

I believe he will actually pull the trigger on the scum that are destroying this great nation.

Great it will save him from having to fire them. There are good people in the CIA but the political ones need to be weeded out. Those who quit over this just self identified. Bye bye

They can be replaced, in an agency that has worked against the interests of regular Americans since around 1947.

Screw ‘em!

There were going to be mass resignations at the FBI, too, over Comey.

To my mind, widespread pervasive thinning of the ranks at CIA is exactly what is needed.

And along those lines: Leon Panetta, Brennan, Clapper should all be toast too. Along with their toadies.

If they escape going to prison for crimes they committed I hope they never hold a government job again. (there are few people that I hold such contempt for)

The CIA is trying to look angelic. Obama said they stunk and it's their fault that ISIS grew in Iraq.

The CIA also tapped foreign leaders phones...our allies....people like Merkel......

They also tapped Americans. Thanks to Snowden...they were taken down.

Remember....both Crapper and Brennan lied....under oath....to Congress....and they got caught.

They apologized...imagine that....

I disagree with the headline.

No, they didn't go "too far".

They simply stated their intentions. I hope they actually do resign ... those who do can be replaced, and the agency will be better for it.

I spent several years working withe them in the sandbox and I have been counseled by my officers that I need to tone down my rhetoric concerning them for the good of my career.

They are the most arrogant bunch of know nothing self-congratulating pieces of idiocy I have ever had to work with.

Many of them were non-shaving graduates of colleges and universities who felt that their ability to pass the CIA training gave them the authority and expertise to tell me and other senior personnel how “to really do our job”.

They killed more sources, laid waste to more DoD programs and stole more stuff then any bunch of Taliban or Al Queda ever did. I was actually held back by some of my team members at one place because I had entered their compound with an M4 and was going to rid the world of one of their stupid smiling faces after a stellar piece of betrayal.

If the CIA says that something is black, immediately assume it is white until you can verify.

First priority is to find the folks who cooked the intel on Iraq and ceremoniously fire them. Also rehire the analysts who signed on to the IG complaint!

Trump must fire anyone at Langley this Muslim Brotherhood Stooge and Saudi operative John Brennan hired

This is nothing more that writing history to control the narrative (of why they were fired for at best being incompetent or at worse being traitors against their countrymen)

Why do i think most, or some of these employees that are threatening to resign might have prayer rugs in their offices?
