#1 It is a characteristic of every bureaucracy — and intelligence agencies are very much bureaucracies — that it tends to engage in mission creep, and its leadership tends to become increasingly focused on politics as opposed to mission.

You don't say ?

#7 The Biden Admin has had all our assets not dedicated to hunting J6 folks busy censoring Americans or harassing parents and Catholics. If the Islamacists or Palestinian commies pop something off, our betrayal by all the alphabet soup of the “intelligence community” will be on full display.
