So a guy who gets paid by Moscow, writing in Russia Today, who says he wants the CIA disbanded.

Shocking!

In that regard, Ritter is in agreement with many Freepers. A lot have said this past year or so that the FBI and CIA are totally compromised and need to be disbanded.

I'd like to see the FBI and CIA, and much of the intelligence community, disbanded.

The FBI can easily be replaced.

The CIA has language and analytical skills that are harder to replace.

The CIA is I believe supposed to stay out of politics.

Don’t blame it for Trump being too lazy to have documents stamped DECLASSIFIED.

That would literally leave us wide open to military and terrorist threats. It's like living in the bad part of New Orleans, leaving your door wide open, and going to bed.

Both of those agencies need a housecleaning, but just disbanding them is national suicide.

Absolutely. At this point, anyone who doesn’t understand that the FBI, CIA and DOJ have been totally corrupted and have become WILLING instruments dedicated to carrying out the directives issued to them by the DemocRATS’ politburo … is a fool!

The FBI, CIA and portions of the DOJ certainly CAN be stood down. That doesn’t mean that all their employees will be gone. Many of them, after passing VERY STRINGENT SCREENING, would be picked up by successor agencies stood up while the old corrupt versions were being dismantled,

We don’t know the hundreds they stopped - we only know the ones they failed to stop.

I'm not playing internet sleuth for you, but the September 2009 attack on the NYC subway system is the first one that springs to mind.

I can name half a dozen instances where the FBI was given actionable intelligence on a terrorist threat and failed to act and more instances where they deliberately falsified evidence or worse, worked with the mob to help commit murders.

Now, how many attacks have they failed to stop?

Follow that with how many have they instigated?

The FBI should be entirely disbanded, period.

The standard fear-mongering of a deep-state troll. If the CIA has an office that directs narrative-building and propaganda on blogs, you would be a prime candidate.

LOL. The FBI organized, tracked and encouraged the two shooters at the 2015 Garland TX, “draw Mohammed” event.

They don’t prevent terrorist attacks - they ARRANGE them.

What better way to understand and control opposition to the realm than to be a direct participant in the creation and functioning of it?

The CIA had become a political arm of the Dem party, it may be difficult to replace but not impossible and with the FBI they both need to be rebuilt from the ground up I don’t trust either of them at this point!! There is NOT ONE damn department in government that is not compromised NOT ONE!!
