When I met Dick Marcinko back in 1994, we chatted about his book and I asked him about the CIA and what he said, could not be printed here.

They are incompetence extraordinaire and have been for a very long time. Just for example, the Marines in my shop and I were discussing the fall of the USSR BEFORE it fell and the CIA MISSED IT! Bay of Pigs? Diem assassination? The list of their failures is legion.

What kind of intel service is this? Then they miss 9-11-2001 or did they help?

The CIA is as useless as a concrete parachute and should be IMMEDIATELY disbanded and set up along the lines of the Mossad, who actually gets it RIGHT!

17 ICAs (Intel Collection Agencies) and none of them get it right and none of them give a flying crap about the American People.

2024 - President Trump reforms the DOJ, CIA, and FBLie.

Great article, thank you, TechnoFog! - Correct, the CIA is NOT allowed to spy or operate on the US territory, on US citizens. So what the CIA does? it outsources the Spy Operations to the British GCHQ, which IS allowed to spy on US citizens (GCHQ = British NSA).

GCHQ does the spying job, then it sends back the info and data to the NSA, the CIA has access to the NSA data, and can gather any data it wants from the NSA (and from the GCHQ).

Easy peasy. This is routine, for the CIA. This is how the CIA circumvents laws and regulations. It is called "Outsourcing".

There is an undersea cable connecting directly the GCHQ Station in Bude (Cornwall) to the NSA Headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland. In 2010, the NSA paid to the GCHQ $20 Million for improvements of the GCHQ Station in Bude.

By the way: John Brennan (CIA Director) met with the GCHQ Director, Robert Hannigan in early August 2016.

Robert Hannigan resigned on January 23, 2017: 3 days after Trump Inauguration.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

John Brennan was the Mastermind behind all the Spy Operations on Trump.

Another way the CIA uses to circumvent the law: the CIA contracts HAKLUYT, a private British Spy Agency (founded by two fmr MI6 Agents), HAKLUTY does the dirty job of spying on US citizens, then sends back the info to the CIA. No FOIA: HAKLUYT is a private company.

Interesting to note that the HAKLUYT office in New York City is at 540, Madison Avenue: a 3 minutes walk from Trump Tower.

I've been there.

Will Durham find this out?

I don't know. There are classified UK/USA agreements. I doubt Durham will be given access. The Sussmann/Joffe affair is just scratching the surface of what really happened with the Spy Operations on Trump. Durham interviewed John Brennan on August 21, 2020. For 8 hours: quite a long interview. I would have liked to be a fly on the wall at Langley.
