Watch the Spies – Can the CIA survive Trump?

From The Bunker – News without the nonsense Podmasters

In the past the Central Intelligence Agency got its hands dirty to support the American vision of freedom and democracy. But what is the spy agency’s purpose for when the President himself despises those very values? Pulitzer Prize winning author Tim Weiner talks Andrew Harrison through The Mission: The CIA In The 21st Century , his absorbing new history of the Agency through the years of 9/11, secret prisons, torture to a surprise vindication over Putin’s election interference and the Ukraine War. Is there a future of intelligence in the age of dumb ideology?
