Any time a truly despicable person is allowed to attain high office bad things can happen. Obama was not alone in destroying our intelligence agencies. He had a lot of help. The Clintons had started long before he took office. Bush was culpable in that he set up the apparatus for them to take advantage of. I don't think Trump had any idea how deep the well was he was stepping into. It was a good article and pretty much describes how we got here and what's happening now. It also at the end describes how we can get back to where we need to be. We cannot do it without electing clear eyed people wanting to do the right thing and unafraid to take on the intelligence community. i don't think there is more than a few people in Washington at present that they don't have dirt on. Those people can be manipulated.
