According to Goss' supporters, the agency has been out of control, recently leaking negative stories to the press to undermine the White House.
"The CIA has got to be kept out of partisan politics," said Stansfield Turner, who was CIA director under President Carter. "And it appears that they were leaking information to influence the election. Porter Goss has now got a difficult problem."
The CIA is a rogue agency, in a way. And didn't Clinton do something with a large segment of employees that made it darned near impossible to fire them?
And there's some saying of Clinton that's famously quoted that paraphrased says "I've left them some smoking guns to deal with."
