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.

"Counterterrorism" means the CIA's drug running operations.
“...We need to cut the FBI also...”
Without question.
Want to defund the police? Start with the FIBBERs.
According tot he CIA PR people, she is in her office at Langley right now.
But she hasn't been seen publicly since that impromptu meeting with Mitch McConnell in his office a few weeks ago.
I believe Miller's plan to cut off military support to the CIA is all part of Trump's plan to shift more emphasis onto military intelligence instead of the compromised Deep State civilian agencies.
Trying to starve the beast, so to speak.
You’re getting the picture now. 👍
HA! News to ABC not to me. Trump is shutting down the CIA. I have heard the military shut off their satellites a year or so ago. I think they refer to them as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
CIA’s predecessor OSS should have been disbanded post-WW2. Been reading up into the history of OSS. Lots of Communist roots in it as an anti-Hitler initiative, back when fascism meant the actual Nazis and not anyone right of Rachel Maddow. But in this case, the enemy of our enemy no longer is our friend, and CIA is causing way more trouble than they’re fixing.
Well, it is before Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20th. There's that....
This is all part of Trumps's plan to move away from the corrupt, compromised Deep State civilian intelligence agencies and rely more on utilizing military intelligence.
He replaced Esper with this special ops guy, Miller, to shuffle the deck chairs.
Miller's already made a big change in the DOD chain of command by placing the special operations troops on the same level under him as the regular service forces.
“Unprecedented” . Hopefully Chris Miller has six ways to Sunday to get back at them.
Trump will fire her.
That explains the political persecution of General Flynn.
And much else.
It is 100% clear to me the CIA was in on this from the start, and they were going to set up Flynn to get him out of the way.
If I said what I thought should happen to Brennan, I would be banned here.
Okay... This really is really getting interesting.
If true, this is unusual in my lifetime.
Have seen a lot of recruiting adds for the “company” lately as well...
I think you analysis that —
“Someone acts like they don’t think they are leaving....”
is not so far off the reservation.
Interesting concept... a DMZ between Arlington and Langley?
Kinda like a China-RUS backed Langley/North Korea
vs.
a US backed Arlington/South Korea...
Bttt
Agencies like the CIA (and the FBI) outgrow their usefulness when they have been around so long and succumb to political agendas from the bureaucracy.
Trump will do well pursuing the military intelligence route as our major source for intelligence.
Yes, Trump has had a plan for at least a few years now, to refocus and redirect IC budgets back toward the DOD, and to increase DOD oversight/authority as well.
However, this is ultimately all relative, as the DOD is dependent and integrated from top to bottom, with all ic agencies and organizations (which cannot call themselves “agencies”).
There really are a lot of civilians who know their stuff/focus.
However, across the IC, there has been years of significant and growing friction between slightly more patriotic uniformed personnel, and their very vocal, near out of control, civilian, intentionally recruited LGBTQ, global socialist, college recruited, higher paid spoiled brat, “workspace weenie’s”.
Has anyone reported any sitings of Haspel since the events in Frankfurt? I read an article claiming she was shot during the raid and then was transported to GITMO. This seems like a page out of a spy novel. Can this be true?
I know it’s not your point, but technically, in a “national emergency”, all our sats are national assets, and we could broadcast whatever we wanted (or nothing at all) in place of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX type network news...
Truth is, as it stands, both domestic and foreign intel agencies from around the world have been using our willful idiot networks for decades, for psyops purposes.
Well, a couple of weeks ago folks were talking about a CAG operation in Germany to recover servers used for our elections. Alleged that folks were KIA and the opposing force was CIA or CUA trained.
At this point, I don’t think any of us knows what to believe anymore.
One would think she would take the opportunity to cut off speculation by giving a short Zoom interview with some TV station.
