And with the Democrats leaderless and supine, the last lines of defense are federal judges and a handful of stand-up FBI agents. Not unlike Watergate!

"Any serious student of U.S. national security should immediately pick up a copy of “The Mission”.... History-making details uncovered through on-the-record interviews with former senior CIA officials." -- Jack Poulson, All-Source Intelligence jackpoulson.substack.com/p/the-mission-…

A few galleys have been spotted in the wild. Pub date in US and UK is July 15.
Now on to this by @Folly_and_Glory, which covers the CIA’s post-9/11 history.
Trump's America, a toxic cocktail of cruelty and incompetence.
NEW: In a court filing this evening, the Trump administration said that it had mistakenly deported a Maryland father to a notorious Salvadoran prison due to an "administrative error."
Ladies and gentlemen, the FBI director.

How will Trump use and abuse the CIA? Will he order it to stand down in Ukraine? Mount a coup to take the Panama Canal? Support Putin as he sabotages Europe? What's to stop him? Only CIA officers who say no. amazon.com/Mission-CIA-21…
Delighted to report that my new book, THE MISSION: The CIA in the 21st Century, is out soon. If you like, you can buy it here. Pre-publication sales are crucial these days (as is shameless self-promotion) so smash that button if you can. Thanks everybody! amazon.com/Mission-CIA-21…
A remarkable statement. Can anyone ID the forum in which RFK Jr. said this on January 19?
RFK Jr on Banning TikTok: “Are you more worried that the Chinese are spying on us and propagandizing us, or are you more worried that the CIA is spying on us and propagandizing us?”
