Him, Tim Pool, Aaron Mate, Jimmy Dores are at least honest examples of leftists.

Serious question. Maybe a stupid one, but serious:

Why does the US intelligence community need 17 agencies?

Because they cannot accurately spy on every American citizen with only 16 agencies.

Because people insist on playing games. The question "Who watches the watchers" is part of the human condition.

The CIA, in particular, doesn't play well with others.

The military says "The CIA won't tell us where XYZ is! We need to know ... how about ... we make the DIA - the Defense Intelligence Agency"

Note that Flynn - the center of the Obamagate shenanigans - was the Director of the DIA, and the CIA started the fake information rolling.

Some of the others are quite a bit smaller and focused. The National Reconnaissance Office runs cameras on satellites, for instance.

they're all meant to have different jobs, but under the obama administration, there was bloat and quadruple the bureaucracy. that's what prez maga has his department heads doing: cutting down the departments to approx. reagan era,levels, or at least bush era. also cutting down on the mission creep; the fbi will no longer be allowed to give intelligence briefings to candidates.
