Former CIA Analyst: U.S.Intelligence May Be ‘Biased’ Toward Democrats
Breitbart ^ | 19 Apr 2019 | Nate Church

Former Central Intelligence Agency analyst John Gentry has written a scathing indictment of “unprecedented” attacks on President Trump. Gentry published his evaluation in the quarterly International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence. His criticisms were both institutional and individual; people called out included CIA Director John Brenan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former deputy CIA director Michael Morell.

“A considerable body of evidence, much of it fragmentary, indicates that many CIA people have left-leaning political preferences,” Gentry said, while hedging, “less evidence shows that political bias influences CIA analyses.” Gentry observed:

“The attacks on Trump were unprecedented for intelligence officers in their substance, tone, and volume,” he wrote. “Critics went far beyond trying to correct Trump’s misstatements about U.S. intelligence; they attacked him as a human being.”

Gentry also criticized former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell for claiming in 2016 that his career qualified him to make judgments on the presidency. “Morell’s claim that his CIA career qualifies him to make political judgments about domestic issues is incorrect,” Gentry said.

“He was trained and authorized to ‘make the call’ about foreign intelligence issues within the classified, internal world of the U.S. government … He did not recommend policies, including voting choices.”

Neither did Gentry spare the Pentagon from his criticism. He noted that during the Obama administration, intelligence report editors were instructed to “avoid specifically identified terms that might trigger criticism of administration policy.”

“That clearly stated policy of politicization provoked no apparent reaction of any sort from analysts,” Gentry said. “DIA analysts seemed comfortable with politicization by omission.” Gentry believes that the seeds of this liberal bias were planted by former President Barack Obama under the guise of affirmative action.

“The U.S. government has traditionally and wisely declined to ask its job applicants and civil service employees about...

CIA thugs were jealous of the old KGB’s power to ‘pick’ Russian leaders. These were little jerk who's access to power went to their ivy privileged heads...

So our CIA thugs crowned themselves ‘smartest people in the room’ and sh*t on the Constitution and American people... and gave themselves power to choose a leader...it was treason.

All CIA thugs in on the cabal should be ferreted out, tried for treason and put to death‘

‘Biased’ toward democrats’? AND the boys were thuggy enough to DO SOMETHING about their damn ‘bias’...

Yeah, overthrow an election,toss a duly elected President to get a woman in office who will give ‘intelligence thugs’ free passes, lots of money, power, and larger fiefdoms.

Then pretend it's just 'bias'... This ‘bias’ is self-serving. It's not a disintrested theoretical choice. It's "you give to me,I give to you" old fashion criminal thuggery.

Find, em, jail, em, and when proved guilty - put the traitors to death.
