The trans CIA official ousted by Trump: ‘We’re a government crippled by its own decisions’

“It was absolutely not a problem for this administration to rely on and ask a trans woman who they knew was trans to continue serving them in a capacity of great sensitivity at the highest levels, including briefing this president, as long as it was secret,” she said in a recent interview…

"What keeps me up at night," he continued, "is the fact that Trump has put the instruments of American national security in the hands of crackpots and fools, and that their incompetence and ideological blinkers will blind them to a coming attack. If the United States gets hit again under Trump, he will destroy what is left of our democracy." …

The CIA Director Tries to Rewrite the 'Russia Hoax' - The Atlantic

"It is virtually unprecedented to conduct a review of the analytic tradecraft used in an intelligence product more than 8 years after its publication," James Clapper, who, as the director of national intelligence, oversaw the election-interference assessment, told me in a written statement. The CIA did not interview Clapper for its review, nor did it speak with Brennan or Comey. Ratcliffe publicly accused all three men by name of manipulating intelligence. 

 "We empathize with the very difficult position in which the career professionals who drafted the CIA Note were placed," Clapper told me, adding that he spoke for Brennan as well. "It is hard, however, to ignore the irony of a document purporting to champion the highest standards of intelligence analytic integrity, which itself violated those very standards."…

Opinion | How Supreme Court immunity ruling could affect CIA - The Washington Post

Whether the goal is to dispatch private paramilitary teams to the southern border with "shoot to kill" orders to prevent illegal crossings; use private hires to hack political opponents; or provide armed support to prevent the counting of electoral votes under the guise of "election integrity," ordering any of these illegal activities would constitute an "official act." They are all closely related to core executive branch functions that the court says are necessary for an "energetic executive" (i.e., protecting against foreign attacks, protection of property and securing of liberty). Prosecuting the president for these activities would almost certainly be barred, because any prosecution would present a danger of intruding on the "authority and functions of the Executive Branch." Engaging the CIA would add a layer of secrecy, and using private paramilitary groups would protect any illegal operation from exposure through such laws as the Freedom of Information Act, which applies only to government agencies. 

The court's decision further states that in distinguishing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into a president's motives. If a president should choose to declare a political rival guilty of treason, deploy a paramilitary group to assassinate that rival and direct the attorney general to sign a document saying that said rival's death is necessary for the "securing of liberty," these would be official acts for which the president is immune. Unlike England's King Henry II — who gave himself plausible deniability by wondering aloud, "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?" — the newly immune president would have no need to speak obliquely...
