It‘s No Revelation That Intelligence Agencies Are Politicized

Furor has arisen over President-elect Donald Trump‘s charges that our intelligence agencies are politicized.

Careerists at these agencies naturally want to continue working from one administration to the next in „the king is dead; long live the king!“ style.
