#1 Start from the top. Fire the Director CIA, and appoint another, then another, then another, until someone produces the desired documents.

If they cannot be controlled, then surely they are in control.

#2 ^So far, they haven't tried to assassinate Trump - not seriously.

#4 "Central Intelligence Agency... Now, there's a contradiction in terms.".

(I don't have to mention the source, do I?)

#5 I can decide which worries me more: that the intel agencies attempted a coup, or that they were too incompetent to pull it off.

#6 ...it appears they've already failed at one.

Nice that the Pentagon fought so hard and won keeping the DIA out of the grasp of the usual suspects.

#8 ^Lets not go paranoid. Trump got Covid all on his own.

#9 On his own? Curious statement, given how many R's have simultaneously come down with it

#10 that the intel agencies attempted a coup, or that they were too incompetent to pull it off.

It didn't start off as a coup. It began as an intelligence collection operation for Hillary Clinton. After Trump won and the operation blown by the NSA's Adm Rogers, it morphed into a hasty coverup of the intel op by targeting Gen. Flynn. It wasn't until after Trump fired Strzok, Comey and gang that the Meuller special council/Pelosi/Schiff impeachment operation got going and by then it was pretty much in the open.

I have no doubt if the the Democrats and Senior Executives had planned a coup or assassination from the beginning, they would have succeeded.

#11 #9 That's how it spreads - one person brings into a group that don't practice masking & distancing.

#13 ^Does it matter?

#14 Inquiring minds would like to know.

#15 Maybe it doesn't matter but I think what we're saying is that maybe it does.

#16 Given where it happened, they going to figure this out - if we don't hear anything, it means it was the boss man himself.

#17 The Rose Garden event wasn't the smartest idea, and I guess few Democrats attended. So that's that.

#18 [The Federalist] House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Sunday suggested that American intelligence agencies should be shut down until they comply with handing over information collected on Donald Trump and his campaign back in 2016.

Let's start with a two week shutdown to flatten the curve and go from there.
