I'm sure the MSM will ignore this

Mr. G. Here.
I can assure you, the C I A and N S A have Deteriorated and Degraded from the inside out since the 90's.
The Agencies are not ran by Real Spies anymore and haven't been for a long while.
The biggest problem has been the infection of Political Posturing and Overly Educated Men and Women
who haven't the slightest idea how Espionage Works.

Most are looking for that Coat Tail To hang Onto.
All the Old Spies are Retired or Living Overseas or Dead.
Most only had a G E D (like me) and recruited from the Armed Forces (like me) and knew how to keep
secrets and silence others.

Sadly, they've Neutered our intelligence agencies.

It certainly looks that way, Mr. G.

I've seen aspects of all this that I am totally unacquainted with and I shouldn't be able to reach this
opinion in normal circumstances. One simple tweet has dragged this much-needed occupation into
the light of the public and what is seen, is mere bureaucratic confusion and -as you've stated, political 
biased due to established connections over many years.

Of course these agencies lie to their peers and when using a mature eye to scan over the recent
Hearings, standard moral aspirations come into doubt as most of the public don't understand the
nuances of ceding information only when required.

Example:
Did you wire-tap Trump Towers?
No.
Did you hold surveillance on people staying in Trump Towers?
Yes.
Specifics, if you don't ask the correct question, you're not going to get the correct answer.
And that's only from some guy who hasn't a clue regarding espionage!
