Listen to Hannity on the radio occasionally, so I know he often talks about how the good average FBI officers are good people doing good work, but it's the administration who is politically corrupt?
I would say CIA is different. I think the Directorate of Intelligence, which is literally thousands of people, is just rotten to the core. I would eliminate it completely. Having some 20-something Princeton grad with a masters degree in Political Science from Georgetown trying to dictate foreign policy on Russia or Iraq or Afghanistan or whatever is a recipe for idiocy.
I met some based upper managers. These were generally people who had spent their careers abroad and had face-to-face experience in the field. One senior leader I met (and respected) had been on one of the last helicopters out of Saigon AND evacuated from Tehran in the 70s. That person didn't put up with any bullshit. Not pencil pushers sitting at a desk in McClean VA like Michael Morell.
I worked at CIA for a brief period of time 10+ years ago. I met some smart people and some good people, but none of them were analysts. It was also clear to me, literally from day 1 of orientation, that most CIA officers were more concerned with (a) THE CIA and (b) THE GOVERNMENT than they were actually doing the right or actually supporting the United States.
"The CIA sits at the head of the Intelligence Community circle, we are the first amongst equals, and we do what needs doing and that the others can't--or won't--do."
Orientation was two weeks of "rah rah, go CIA, here are some cool things we've done" and indoctrinating employees into being loyal to CIA. It's ingrained from day 1.
Hannity is probably a reptillian honestly or parasited by one of them. For some reason Trump Pardoned him and Lindsey Graham but executed their buddy John Mcain.
Please Read Bill Cooper's Behold a Pale Horse Everyone. Or get people to read it.
There are white hats in the CIA but they are rare.
that book was pretty useless, secret societies control our governments for their selfish needs, these societies themselves are controlled by reptilian aliens, and then what? he didn't offer anything useful except advising patriots not to attend family gatherings such as Thanksgiving dinner because the government might get you when you're stuffed and sleepy.
He had a Boot on his ankle for an injury that switched ankles every two weeks when he had 'Cancer'. His daughter said he was Killed on the View. His Buddy John Kasich said he was put to death on CNN
Updoot for the information, even if this sounds like a little too much like the CIA version of Hannity's "rank and file".

It's depressing that this is the least believable part of your comment.
