    It’s only going to be incompetent at the objectives it had previously. It’s assuming the objectives remain the same, which it won’t. Their objectives are going to shift towards singularly targeting political enemies. I don’t believe she’ll be as incompetent as implied, because she has plenty of competent Trump sycophants willing to help out. She just needs to be there to ensure the goal is being persued. Even if she’s a complete idiot (which she isn’t) she doesn’t need to do anything but enforce the agenda of the Trump administration.

    She’s going to be horrible for things like undermining Russian or Chinese power structures (which some may believe to be good or bad), but she’s perfectly competent to allow others to persue leftists.

      The only thing I disagree about is that persuing leftists is an objective they previously had. The intelligence community is, always has been, and always will be, an enemy.

        They persued other things too. Yes, the left as well, but it wasn’t their only focus. You can be sure now it will be.

          Boo hoo. I don’t give a shit about protecting people who hate me or their agenda.

              Yes, clearly my insufficient level of sympathy for the fucking CIA proves that I’m just a misanthrope who hates everyone.

              Or, alternatively, it’s precisely because I give a shit about the vast majority of humanity, which has been harmed by them, that I despise the CIA.

              Again, y’all’s ideology is completely incomprehensible. Anyone who’s unsympathetic towards the CIA can’t possibly be a real leftist, right? Where the hell do you even get this ideology from? Is there, like, a book I can read that makes Anarcho-CIAism make sense?
