In a surprising move, the Pentagon has told the Central Intelligence Agency that it plans to end the majority of the military support it provides to the agency's counterterrorism missions by Jan. 5, according to a former senior administration intelligence official.
It is unclear how the decision would impact the spy agency's worldwide counterterrorism missions that often rely on the U.S. military for logistical support and personnel.
Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel outlining the decision, according to the former official, who characterized the action as both surprising and unprecedented.

” characterized the action as both surprising and unprecedented.”
It should have never been “precedented” in the first place.
Sent the letter to Haspel.. who is where right now, exactly?
Just a question for a friend, who can answer this.
We need to cut the FBI also
They know the CIA and the CCP are behind the Dominion shenanigans.
What about the FBI counter-intelligence investigations into political candidates for public office? We going to defund those police?
Someone acts like they don’t think they are leaving....
seeIa and fibbers for too long now seems to be out of control and basically working for the oligarchy, not America’s best interest....
He sure does!
Seems like the CIA was using Pentagon funds for outside activity while keeping its own funds to do inside spying.
Talk about a nice way to blacken the books of false budgets for outside travel when your ride is actually free on the back of the military.
Good to see something positive for a change.
True, the FBI, ATF and DEA practice in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Seems President Trump is pulling the Military out of all the right places.
The CIA has been corrupt for a long time. They were running heroin out of Viet Nam for years, bringing it back to the States to infect our population. Trump will fix their assessment, with the help of General Flynn.
The CIA has been so successful from the Bay of Pigs to handling the ChiComs for the past decades.
She was the only reason I watched that show.
“It should have never been “precedented” in the first place.”
Amen!
Yes— this is the “black budget” unraveled about HOW Stefan Halper was paid. Office of Net Assessments. Patel reeling out the illegalities.
Corporatist and trough eaters are NOT liking this, but tough shite.
