Finally someone says the obvious, the only way to fix it is clean house especially at the top. Bring back some retired patriots to keep it running then transition younger trustworthy people in to fill the positions.
Sure it will be a few years of rough seas but it’s the only way.
The CIA has been recruiting top students from liberal universities since its inception (and before). I’m not sure its the kind of thing (Leftism) that can be excised from an institution like the CIA.
How can that possibly happen? Even a new POTUS could not put a dent into the permanent deep state intel agency empire.
Instead, they keep successfully spying on and acting against Trump!
Trump ordered Brennan’s security clearance pulled, and it never happened. They just ignored him. “Screw you, who do you think you are? President? Hah!’
Put a dozen or so in jail for 20 years would send a pretty good message. I know it’s far fetched but needs to happen. They will be trying to set his family up from now till kingdom come if he doesn’t do something.
Fire the generals and reach down to the lt.cols for new leaders.
During his short tenure as CIA director, James Schlesinger reduced the CIA staff by 7% and they hated him. He did not care.
We need his type again, desperately.
Put a dozen or so in jail for 20 years would send a pretty good message.
This should have been priority one for the incoming administration. A message should have been sent throughout the federal government. Instead we get perpetual harassment of the executive branch and a clown show impeachment.
Scene in Paton has him firing a colonel who could not advance. Replaced him with deputy telling him you get it done or I will fire you.
Politics can no longer fix this mess, Travis.
Yeah Brennans clearance retention is not an “ oversight”
Its ignoring Trumps orders to pull it and giving POTUS an “ FU”
Yes, and this is a major, major problem at all levels of federal government. It's quite stupid to limit your talent pool to specific universities, or to universities at all. It selects for elitism, mediocrity, and groupthink.
Agencies like the FBI and CIA should be recruiting, to a large extent, from law enforcement, not from universities.
Further, I don't think these agencies can be trusted to police themselves, ever. There has to be much, much better oversight - and a non-government/civilian component of this oversight. The penalties for abusing power from within an intelligence agency should be similar to the penalties for being a spy. Both are cases of subversion.
They are “woke” SJW commies all the way down to the new hires.
College output is agency input.
Brad Johnson agrees, but 7% might be too few, and it still leaves the agencies 99% stocked with woke SJW commies.
Yeah. It’ll have to be entirely rebuilt from the ashes after a terrible defeat or CW2.
With woke leftist globalist commies specifically excluded.
A big FU.
And the big FU over Brennan’s retained clearance also came from Admiral McRaven, who is VERY close to the Clintons.
McRaven is my dark horse candidate for “saving” the DemSocRat party at a deadlocked convention.
“Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President”

Yes, but my point was that mass RIFs have occurred in the past and should occur now with a vengeance.
The culture of Leftism is far too deeply embedded to fix.
Commies have been exclusively hiring and promoting commies for decades now.
Brennan voted for a Stalinist in 1976, when the Soviet Gulags were full, admitted it on his CIA intake polygraph, and he rose to become director of the CIA.
And it’s only gotten “progressively” worse since then.
