I would guess that there are some good people in the NSA and CIA, but at the top we seem to have a problem. If Dan Coats is a true American, one would think he would explain the 2017 “assessment” and what it was based on. I keep thinking that he is being blackmailed, but maybe he simply never thought that deeply about what looks like a coup to me.

Almost all the people working for Bernie Madeoff (fraudster, and convicted felon, who is currently serving a federal prison sentence for offenses related to a massive Ponzi scheme. Wikipedia) were 'good people'. Even his sons didn't know he was a crook.

So if the CIA and FBI and most people in the Intelligence Bureaucracy are 'good people' it doesn't make a bit of difference IF they're not making the decisions.

The 'good people' argument that's put out by the gullible press and the bad people in intelligence is a smoke screen.
