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.
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”.
