perhaps significantly, Carter fired GHWB from the DCI job… and also sacked dozens of CIA agents he considered corrupt or anti-American.
Bush's campaign for revenge brought us stagflation, Iranian hostage crisis, a whole lot of shit.
Not that Carter was some angel or something. But just to say that there WERE people who saw how dangerous GHWB was way 'back in the day' and tried to do something about it.
Their efforts may have had some effect but didn't slow down the cabal train very much.
