CIA’s predecessor OSS should have been disbanded post-WW2. Been reading up into the history of OSS. Lots of Communist roots in it as an anti-Hitler initiative, back when fascism meant the actual Nazis and not anyone right of Rachel Maddow. But in this case, the enemy of our enemy no longer is our friend, and CIA is causing way more trouble than they’re fixing.
Agencies like the CIA (and the FBI) outgrow their usefulness when they have been around so long and succumb to political agendas from the bureaucracy.
Trump will do well pursuing the military intelligence route as our major source for intelligence.
