>> Because the CIA is a clandestine intelligence service, many of the details about gifts given to CIA employees from foreign dignitaries and sources are kept secret.
Of course they are. The bitches are a law unto themselves, and they press it to the hilt. Don’t for a MINUTE believe that they don’t keep (or sell for personal profit) some of those gifts. Don’t for a minute believe that they don’t engage in a wide variety of corrupt enterprises — including drug and gun running and human trafficking — for personal profit.
FBI, CIA, DOJ, DHS delenda est.
More of our government lunacy. Give them to fighter pilots, give them to the local watch dealer and return the proceeds of the sale to the US treasury. Those were probably some amazing wrist watches if they were given by a foreign dignitary is a gift. But no, our idiots know it’s best to crush them with a steamroller or something.
This is a joke given what the current POTUS has likely done in his career.
The lower ranks got greedy and didn’t give tribute to their bosses. Now the boss is pissed.
If the police aren’t your friend, just think what these bastards are.
Or....the CIA thought the watches may have trackers or listening devices installed?
Who knows what these corrupt thugs do with gifts and money. But the watches and gifts should be put up for auction and go back into general treasury. But we can’t count on any ethical or logical behavior here.
So much for the employees being unknown working at the CIA clandestine intelligence service.
*Transparency*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
our bottles of “vintage wine” and a basket containing wine and cognac given by undisclosed foreign parties to “official use,” while destroying other items like wristwatches
But “10% for the big guy” no problem. 🙄
