The CIAs deputy director plans to resign and will be replaced by White House lawyer and agency outsider Avril D. Haines, Director John O. Brennan said Wednesday. Haines, who will succeed career officer Michael Morell on Aug. 9, has served for three years as President Obamas deputy counsel in charge of national security issues and as legal adviser to the National Security Council. Although she has never worked inside the intelligence agency, she knows more about covert action than anyone in the U.S. government outside of the CIA, Brennan said in an interview.

Yeah, that’ll go over well with the spooks.

We are seeing it real life.
Incestuous Government Appointments.
Great. Now we have an Obama Marxist as a Deputy Director of the CIA. The infiltration of the entire US Government by Marxists is taking place before our eyes. Where is Joe MacCarthy when we need him?
They have infested the entire government, especially in places where they would, logically, have no business.
Also today: President Barack Obama announced Morell’s appointment to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.
The President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) is an advisor to the Executive Office of the President of the United States. According to its self-description, it “...provides advice to the President concerning the quality and adequacy of intelligence collection, of analysis and estimates, of counterintelligence, and of other intelligence activities.”[1]
The PIAB, through its Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB), also advises the President on the legality of foreign intelligence activities. [Wiki]
