However, reading into things, i'd have to say that this looks like a play to get "in the loop". The CIA probably realizes the kind of threat Bambi poses to national security and because of that is being less than forthcoming with the kinds and types of intel they disclose to "the one". So this whole thing is a WH shot across the bow of the CIA... "Put me in the cone or i'm going to make life difficult for you!"

Not what I am thinking but plausible.
I think that they are trying to dismantle the CIA, take out people who can do damage to their plans or cripple them so that they have no authority / legitimacy.
