A private entity that is solely employed by the government is obviously way different than paying the government to do it, because The One True Way tells us that private is always better than big gubbmint.

most of us don't like the "deep state" either but recognize TORMP is a far more immediate danger to way more things

also it's Very Good that the "deep state" and TORMP are fighting each other because imagine if they were allies :yikes:

Agreed, but

This is factually untrue, though? Maybe he's more dangerous based on what you think he'll do, but as of 3/9/2017 @ 10:28a PT, the deep state has killed way, way more people and hosed up the lives of many more. It's kinda disturbing to me how a symbol of stupidity and hatred seems to have more influence than, y'know, literal decades of continuous stupidity and hatred implemented in the real world at the behest of the American taxpayer.

The CIA used underage prostitutes to blackmail targets and smuggle drugs across the world.

So why does Trump hate them so much? That seems like something he'd be way into.

The Freedom of Information Act, oversight committees and eventual declassification are direct threats to our proud CIA heroes, so theyre just doing what anybody would do and privatizing to further increase the security of vital spy operations

The leaks are just growing pains, please ignore them

moderately annoying

The CIA hacked the DNC posing as Russians in order to leak sensetive DNC emails and divide the Democrats after the nomination as part of a false flag psy op to prevent other hackers from hacking the DNC themselves and finding the secret illuminati cabal of reptilian Satanist pedophiles led by Hillary Clinton based out of a pizza parlor.

This is why you need private contractors operating out of off the grid blacksites. This kind of information shakes the faith of the American people in their government, so we need to make sure they never find out about it.

The CIA are freedom loving patriots out there making the hard choices to commit torture and warcrimes and the occasional false flag so the rest of us dont have to. How dare you impugn their honor.

For real though in this particular instance what would be the end game here?
