The Dummkopf Trumpf junta has previously used its control over clearances as a political cudgel against retired officials. But the CIA officer in question, along with two others involved in that 2016 report, Shelby Pierson and Vinh Nguyen, are some of the most senior serving career intelligence officials to be purged. The candidate selected to be DD for clandestine operations, an experienced Russia expert, was also not appointed to the position at CIA this year. These steps mark a sharp escalation in Trumpf's war on America's intelligence officers and normalizing relations with the Kremlin. The junta has also drastically lowered recruiting standards for the FBI, as well their training academy from 16 to eight weeks. This reduction in training dilutes the capabilities of their agents who must deal with the FSB, organized crime, the Mossad, the Hell's Angels, terrorists, MSS, or drug cartels, etc.
