They have been politicized and are now corrupt as hell.
I am not sure I would call them inept.

Inept, no. Extremely short sighted, definitely.

When the CIA became part of the Military Industrial Complex, the FBI when Hoover left.

For the C.I.A., it's less ineptness and patriotism than an attitude that they have carte blanche to manipulate, even experiment on, those they perceive as vulnerable and expendable.
It's a special type of "character/psyche" who would consciously be a part of something like their MK-Ultra LSD Program/experiment that ran for 20 years, without regard to those nameless souls whose lives were ruined as a result of it.
And that Guatemala coup in the '50s they orchestrated, where they enlisted the services of the world's prime propagandist, Tavistock "staffer," and nephew of Freud - Edward Bernays - to craft and pound the narrative that Guatemala was "falling under Communist influence."
Bernays wrote a book - Engineering Consent -about his experience and success in manipulating that country.
It's supposedly been a favorite, even a blueprint, for effecting regime change.
They've been corrupt for a very long time.

Anyone who says the Trumpster has no clothes

Pretty 4D chess..... name calling

Nope. The truth is that they are both full of clowns. When politics and affirmative action became more important then crime fighting and terrorist fighting, both orgs jumped on the track taking them to Clown Town.

You just called out your president for name calling by name calling. You progs and your lack of self awareness. Jiminy Christmas.

There’s a history of the CIA that I’ve recommended many times - “Legacy of Ashes” by Tim Weiner. It does a good job of explaining how that organization has been a clusterfrick almost from its inception.

That one’s really more on Congress. We helped them drive the Russians out...and then we just left them on their own. No help rebuilding.
