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.

Bravo, sir !
The first thought in my mind is what has the CIA been up to that has them so worried. Mideast and ISIS perhaps?
Brennan has loaded the agency with Obama commissars. Some will resign, others must be purged. It won’t be pretty when their actions are exposed.
“The CIA is threatening mass resignations”
Says who? did the CIA issue a formal survey of employees?
...and who is “Angry Patriot Movement”? Haven’t seen them before a burst of questionable stories from them in the last couple days.
Leave a cushy government job? I doubt it. But those CIA bureaucrats resigning en masse could join with the multitude of celebrities who are fleeing to Canada.
And this is suppose to be a bad thing?!? Sounds like it will save Trump the trouble of purging all the disloyal Obama/Hillary supporters (and maybe a few #NeverTrump Bush Neocons) from the CIA. Normally with Civil Service protections it is difficult if not impossible to pry these people out of their jobs, but resigning will make it quite easy!
“Get rid of the left leaning Hillary supporters at the CIA.”..........
This is all part of the task of “draining the swamp”. I would suspect that those who leave the CIA realize that it’s time to do their damn jobs, something they have been allowed to avoid since working for obozo. Heads will roll, people will quit and through attrition, America WILL BE GREAT AGAIN!
But as Hillary infamously said (after her rape client passed his lie detector test) ‘it forever ruined my faith in lie detectors’. They don’t always out the liars.
I think that technology has changed immensely since the Beast cackled about getting the rapist off.
The CIA is a big part of the Swamp!
I put this threat in the same league as the many celebrities who claimed they would leave the country if Trump was elected. A lot of hot air and bluster.
I don’t find Morello credible.
to have “caught” Benghazi, Arab Spring, Libya, ISIS, Crimea, Syria would have meant indicting their own boss - Obama had a hand in all of them
The reality: "Social Justice Warriors" who want to work from within to advance socialism around the world. They will be sniffed out and expelled, so they might as well leave now.
Trump's new CIA director should avoid hiring from the Ivy's, and recruit smart people from out of Military Intelligence from middle and working-class backgrounds.
I wonder if they remember Reagan and the air traffic controllers. “Oh, I didn’t fire them ... they quit!”
So the former head of the CIA was fooled by a phishing scam into sending someone, supposedly the Russians, his password, and it was “password”, but Trump is unacceptable as a boss?
Anyway “the CIA” didn’t make this threat, another former Director did on their behalf. Just like the never-Trumpers claimed to speak for millions of Republicans. I’ll believe mass resignations when I see them.
This will turn out to be just like the celebratards telling us they are all moving to Canada. Not gonna happen.
Part of the periodic polygraph tests they take to maintain their security clearances, should include questions about how they feel about Islam. Pro-Islamics should be tossed out. Given what we've heard about Brennan, the CIA is likely to be heavily infested with Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers.
They won’t resign as they are overpaid and life is good - at least the CIA management.
Play politics with intelligence much Mikey?
