Make no mistake: we have just witnessed an operation by members of the CIA to take out a high official of our own government. An agency widely believed to have brought down democratically elected governments overseas is now practicing the same dark arts in domestic American politics. Almost certainly, its new head, Mike Pompeo, was not consulted.
Senator Chuck Schumer, of all people, laid out on January 2 what was going to happen to the Trump administration if it dared take on the deep state – the permanent bureaucracy that has contempt for the will of the voters and feels entitled to run the government for its own benefit:
New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is "being really dumb" by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia's cyber activities.
"Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you," Schumer told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.
"So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he's being really dumb to do this."
Or, as the old rueful saying has it, "you've got to go along to get along." This means that we the people had better acknowledge that the bureaucrats have turned into our masters, and the old expression "public servant" is as ironic as anything Orwell came up with. Schumer knows this and likes it, because the deep state wants a bigger, more powerful government, just as he does.

No, Said Hayden. Said Mattis. Said Evan McMullen. The fact is they all love Pompeo, and he said what he said about islam and terror.
I worked with Mattis. You are full of shit.
He told Pence he didn’t talk about sanctions..when in fact he did when he was private citizen. Is how I read it.
Bttt.
5.56mm
plants in the intelligence department were planned before the anarchist left office.As he did not have his prime objective fulfilled, now it’s up to Scummer -H +M to implement a back up plan. So it’s time the Republicans find the rats and moles,and take appropriate measures. Or just move out of their offices.
Something’s about to happen, and all we can do is pray about it. So far out of our hands... Ihe idea of some high level office holders being totally out of the thought of caring about America is indicative of how deeply rooted the enemy is.
how the hell do you know what Sex Mattis thinks ?
do you run ads on Craigslist offering fortune-telling too ?
you might impress yourself, but thats where it stops amigo.
Worked with or worked for?
There’s a difference.
Worked with. What’s your point AH?
Cross service or as a civilian?
Within the Corps. Two separate commands MARCORSYSCOM and MCCDC.
Immigration reform, nex tax package and healthcare should all come in together as a complete package, all revolving around one another

Much better to leave them in place, throw out chum, get the sharks circling, then isolate them one by one. Then you can determine the chain of command and cut off its head. It’s going to take time, patience and fortitude and the forces arrayed against Trump will be massive and well funded.
I totally agree, Mike Pence is a plant. Trump is not fighting against men and policy, but against principalities and powers.
