A new book claims that top CIA employees have compared President Trump favorably to his predecessor, indicating that former President Barack Obama’s administration micromanaged intelligence matters and was too concerned with political correctness.

The revelation comes in commentator Doug Wead’s new book “Inside Trump’s White House: The Real Story of His Presidency,” which is set for release on Nov. 26.

Wead cites an unnamed White House source who claims CIA officials leveled complaints against the Obama administration during a meeting with then-CIA director Mike Pompeo. […]

According to Wead’s source, Trump decentralized control and gave more freedom to agencies. …

The CIA is not monolithic in its behaviors. There have been different branches. Nazis, cowboys and Boy Scouts. They certainly don’t generally know all about what other branches might have done.

Although powerful elements of the CIA were behind Barry’s half-century rise to power, that doesn’t mean all it elements were corrupt and (what we would call) anti-American.
