No, that's not how the CIA works. Until now, the CIA can just request military assets and they can use it like they own it.

If CIA walked up to a base and said "CIA. I need to borrow a tank. Classified. Contact blahblah". They would get it.

You should read NASM57. JFK outlines how it works that CIA could basically take any military asset and it 'belongs' to the CIA while they're using it. CIA maintain control over military assets while using them. And the whole operation remains CIA.

How this would work if CIA could still do this is they would walk up to an obama loyal general and take command and send commands out like they were now the general.

The CIA doesn't need to explain things - they would just tell people what to do. Since that's how its always worked - they would do it.

My bet is they wouldn't go for a ground war - too many uncertainties with patriot boots on the ground. Their target was war assets, drones, big bombs, nukes, etc to pressure Trump into leaving office.

While I may not have the fine details or plan of action correct. The CIA is quite experienced at toppling governments and removing world leaders.

Someone who has more experience than me regarding this says the NASM57 limits the CIA to only intelligence gathering and removes their ability to do covert operations altogether. But that seems like a stretch because the memorandum says CIA can't use/take over military assets anymore. To me that doesn't mean end of their covert ops since CIA has their own assets and trigger pullers. They don't need to borrow from the military to run their ops.
