I think moving or merging the CIA under the NSA would leave a bit of a footprint, more than we have seen. The CIA would resist, and that resistance would manifest in the press.

I'm not saying such a merger can't be done, just I doubt it has been. On review of some of the statutory bases for CIA and NSA, it appears to me that DNI has the power to make the sort of org-chart rearrangement that is speculated to have occurred. DNI can also clip CIA directly, without changing the org-chart.

US Code Title 50 includes substantial legislation on the Intelligence Community in general, and CIA (Chapter 46) and NSA (Chapter 47) in particular.

DNI has the organizational power (See 50 USC 3024). As I read that, I sense Congress trying to micromanage something it is not competent to even manage at all. Thank God we don't get all the government we pay for.

Anyway, by 50 USC 3035, the CIA serves the DNI, and has powers and limitations according to 50 USC 3036.

I think Maddog unleashing fire & fury on that bridge in Syria announced a new ROE to field agents: be somewhere unapproved doing unapproved things and you could be unidentifiable peanut butter, too.

Now on to office agents: they are now subject to NSA.

Then on to he imbeds in business, academia, etc: we’re seizing your stuff and vacationing you at Club Gitmo.

I think this is why mockingbird suddenly fell silent last week.

"The CIA would resist, and that resistance would manifest in the press"

What do you think the Social media purge was about?

They've stepped up operation Mockingbird to their next step.
Which has been a war on reality.

The objective is to create a society of bipolar sponges.
real simply. people that are bipolar can hear one thing and think something else was said

Why not just destroy the CIA before it destroys our country?
