One of the biggest takeaways from the recent election,, a real eye-opener for me, is that the CIA, FBI - all the 3-letter agencies of the DOJ - are not (and have never been) the "good guys", the white hats supposedly battling enemies foreign and domestic. Rather, they ARE the enemies, foreign and domestic. They have actively enabled foreign bad actors eg China to wrest control of the levers of power. They ARE the "black hats" and probably have been so since their inception. I can't think of a single good thing they've done for this country. Mexican cartels are more honorable in my mind. When someone like Trump is able to beat a rigged system, confound the monolithic forces of power, and win the office of the President - to upset the applecart and actually accomplish significant positive change - he has become enemy #1 for these evil agencies.
