Chief Craig would have been the best choice but donors are lining up behind Roger’s, so Craig declined to run. Being a former resident he still a hell of a lot better than Slotkin. I believe Roger’s was a former alum of Marks before he went to congress.

True. If I recall, he was in CG before he quit and went to MI to run.

Of course this is right. But I can't be the only one who recalls how JFK was going to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds? What would the CIA do if a President today actually attempted what Scott is describing?

At biggertruthmedia.com there are articles that discuss what seems to be an effort to infiltrate and cripple the Republican Party from within by people who sound like former Democrats. This is happening in my county GOP and the focus: organizing to mobilize voters to win elections, has degenerated into an assault on very effective people. Attempts at initiating lawfare and doing things like trying to get the state AG involved. Very disruptive activities and personalities. There is ongoing investigation into this to see what is going on and who is doing what. Who is at the root of it all? Is this an effort by radicals to take over the Republican Party? Is it private or is government in the deep background? Is this part of a color revolution? Per Ritter: would the US Marshals en masse storm the CIA? Maybe if the CIA was running an op to subvert the political opposition.

Scott Ritter is absolutely right in every respect. See my own book "Our Country Then and Now" that provides a history of the CIA and calls for its abolishment.

It's very hard to disagree with him.

Sam Faddis spoke at Hillsdale College's four-day seminar on intelligence in October 2023.

His presentation, The Rise and Fall of the CIA, was bracing. During the Q&A, Mr Faddis described the approach the next administration (if Trump) would need to take to return the CIA to sobriety. Faddis' response earned a standing O, with a subsequent question, would he be willing to do the job, similarly met with strong applause.

Most strongly recommended:

I pray for a miracle where Trump is concerned. However, he has just endorsed yet another Deep State creep, Mike Rogers. I just don't think he's the one to change this. May I be horribly and hopelessly wrong!

Didn’t Mike Roger tip of Trump to the campaign wire taps?

That was Admiral Rogers - a true patriot and as opposite as you could get from his namesake.

Thanks for clearing that up. It always confused me.
