Wouldn't that be doing us a big favor?

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.

I like Rudy, class act.
Is he doing fine?
Haven’t seen him speak lately.
Even if he is getting up there in years, he’s still a class act.
Mass resignations in a politically corrupt bureaucracy is a bad thing? Gee, I just won’t be able to sleep nights, knowing our ability to blame election hacking on a foreign govt might stop. Or possibly, we’ll never be able to say some country has WMD’s so we can invade them. It just won’t be the same.
Gonna make an apt with my shrink, I gotta talk to someone. Please help.
Seriously, betcha they see the writing on the wall. Remember when Reagan canned the air traffic controllers? Gotta do what the boss says or you’re down the road.
We are overdue for congressional hearings on Iraq intelligence
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass!
Good. Let them resign. If they stay, they would be part of the problem.
CIA mgmt has been LIBERAL for decades.
I find these federal employees who threaten to “leave” to be so tiresome. They never follow-through on their threat. Quit, you overpaid political hack un-patriotic losers. Quit today! They won’t so they must be isolated, ridiculed and fired. Those in the organization who are patriotic and loyal to the USA know who these maggots are.
Well,bully for you.I see you as part of the problem.The nation is burdened with far too many government retirees drawing obscene pension checks.Damn all those politicians who gave away the store for votes.
Ho-hum. Just another leftist, can’t accept that Hillary lost, fantasy article.
It all ultimately falls back on the primary methodology of collection. Military Intelligence and Overt use personal relationships, built over time, to create a fertile situation for sharing of information. Usually, little or no money is needed to keep this relationship going.
The CIA knows of one thing and one thing only, MONEY. You pay enough, and you can get whatever information you think is out there. And the sources know there is no real connection between you and them, so they will SELL the agent whatever they think the agent wants.
I know that CIA personnel reading this will argue that they create relationships all the time, but ultimately that is proven false by all the disinformation they put out. But the DoD keeps doing its job and writing information that helps the war-fighter and the boots on the ground. If the DoD makes a mistake, their friends and brothers die. If the CIA makes a mistake, some trash they do not know or care about dies.
17 “Intelligence” Agencies sounds like plenty of fat and redundency to be pared. Less coordination to be done too.
He was on F & Fs this AM but didn’t hear much of it.
Trump needs to ignore the noise around him. Push to get all his people thru quickly. If there is any hold up, he kicks @ss. SCOTUS, any delay, go nuclear.
It’s time to beat these guys, not compromise with him.
Cory Booker, Schumer, Dick Durbin. They’re days are over.
Buh Bye, time for a turnover.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Part of the problem? I didn't make the rules on pensions or federal benefits. I had to pass various tests to gain entry into the federal government.
I served 8 years in the USN including a year in Vietnam (including during the Tet Offensive) and another nine months off the coast.
I spent 28 years as a foreign service officer that included a almost two years in Iran during the fall of the Shah and the entrance of Khomeini. I was there when our Embassy was overrun the first time on February 14, 1979 and held hostage for several hours. I served 5 years in Saudi Artabia including during the entire Gulf War. I was in Poland during the days of Solidarnosc' and martial law.
My family was evacuated twice during my various postings. I have served in hardship posts where we sometimes had electricity only 12 hours a day.
What is obscene is your sanctimonious attitude and blaming those of us who served for decisions beyond our control. What have you done for God and country?
The agency has lost its mission. Now, wherever the CIA is found, there is disorder, chaos, overthrow of legit friendly governments and Marxist/muslin opportunism. Thinning this anarchist herd would greatly help our relationships with the world.
No Kidding. A six figure pension with COLA? Obscene.
If the politicized element at CIA wants to save Trump the trouble, please, feel free.
Wouldn't that be doing us a big favor?

Michael Morell, so you know it’s bs.
