I never thought in a million years I would root for the CIA.

Phil Mudd, "former" CIA guy was livid on CNN.

Magnificent creature to look at but you do not want to stir up their wrath while they do their killing. They are best left alone and are not predictable.

I think they normally work for what they believe is the good of the country. I certainly do not believe that 17 intelligence agencies in the US are wrong and Trump, Putin, and Assange are right. Trump is not going to enjoy his term. He can't stand people telling him he's wrong. He doesn't like to be crossed and the Dems will bait him constantly.

and they and their information can be used wisely or poorly.

Some individuals in Intelligence can step out of bounds. Many work with little thanks and a lot of shade cast their way.

It's like some people on the Left and the Right have a binary view of EVERYTHING.

said Trump should be careful and that the agencies could do a pay back. I fully agreed with Schumers Statement and Tweety can go dribble on his self.
