Official Trump Swamp Thread: Still Corrupt as Fuck

How does the GOP feel about this? I wish jhmd wasn't banned because I'd like to hear the GOP position on this
 
And it's not just the State Department either. Many departments that serve national security interests are suffering under the Trump administration.

 
Rex Tillerson Is Fiddling With PowerPoint While the World Burns

"Like any bureaucracy, the State Department tends to resist change; past secretaries have made attempts at reform with mixed success. But what’s happening to the department under Tillerson looks to many not like reform but sheer incompetence, if not deliberate sabotage. And what’s especially strange about his focus on management issues is that, for a former CEO of one of the world’s largest corporations—ExxonMobil—he doesn’t seem very good at it."

Private spy force? What could go wrong?

White House considering private network of spies separate from CIA: report

CHRISTOPHER BRENNAN DEC 5, 2017 2:33 AM
President Trump is considering creating a private network of spies that would be controlled directly by him and his CIA chief, according to a report.

The alleged proposal comes in part from Blackwater founder Erik Prince and would be separate from existing intelligence agencies in order to counteract the supposed “deep state” in the national security apparatus that is opposed to the commander-in-chief, sources told The Intercept.

How altruistic of Erik Prince to suggest this.
 
People didn't like Saddam Hussein, but he was a very smart guy. So smart. He had his own spies and military he could trust. None of these activist government agents that are pushing this Russia fake news. So we're going to have our own Republican Guard.
 
The private spy force story isn't getting much airtime in the press and it was also published by the intercept which some believe has some questionable motives.

That being said - let's say it's true for discussion. Is a move like this even legal? Would Congress allow it?
 
Would Congress have to?

Are you suggesting this United States Congress would say no to Donald Trump on anything? Most of the pubs on the Hill would lose their jobs.
