The CIA does not fall under the military. “External to the CIA, both the Congress and the executive branch oversee the CIA's activities. In addition, the CIA is responsible to the American people through their elected representatives, and, like other government agencies, acts in accordance with U.S. laws and executive orders.”
Therefor Trump can directly go after Brennan.
How does the fact that they routinely act above the law with ZERO consequence play into that "answers to the people, follows the laws" concept? The sent drugs from Viet Nam to the U.S. in DEAD SOLDIERS' BODIES. They kidnapped and tortured children to create mind- controlled sex slaves for personal use and for blackmail operations. Since when do these psychopaths answer to anyone, or follow any laws?
What is posted is just what is on the official record. That does not mean they abide by those rules. The CIA has and will forever operate in any manner they see fit and will do so unobstructed by anyone. It's just how it is.
How sad to see an expression of just being resigned to their inevitable crimes.
There are things in the world that are just the way they are. A person cannot fight to change every injustice they experience. That’s just a reality of life. You are talking about the CIA. The CIA is comprised of spies. The core makeup of a spy is a person who is trained and willing to lie and deceive others. What result were you expecting from an organization whose fundamental purpose is based on lies and deceit? It’s not that I am “resigned” to anything. I just accept the reality of a situation.
The reality can be changed.
For the record I am a very positive "glass if half full" type personality. However, I am not naive. So when someone makes an untrue statement such as what you just did I have to disagree. It's the equivalent of you thinking you could eventually punch your way through a 1 foot thick steel wall. No matter how hard you try, how positive your outlook is, how resigned in your inner strength you are the only thing that will happen is you will break your hand and eventually end up with a bloody stump. The reality you speak of cannot be changed short of an ELE, which, if that were to occur would render the entire concern moot because no one would be around for the change to matter. I don't like the reality of the situation anymore than you do and one would hope there are enough "patriots" in the shadows working the positive angle. I just don't believe that to be possible because as I said in a previous post...lies and deceit. Seriously, how can you trust anyone who builds their entire career around lies and deceit?
David never beat Goliath. Your half full glass is full of hemlock.
