CIA Veteran Tells Tucker Carlson Agency Can Hold Power Over Oval Office
- John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer and whistleblower, claimed on Wednesday during an interview on The Tucker Carlson Show that the CIA can effectively control U.S. Presidents over time.
- Kiriakou explained this control stems from CIA agents having decades-long careers, while presidents serve only four or eight years, allowing agents to advance deep state agendas independent of the current leader.
- He noted that President Donald Trump frequently used the term 'deep state' and signed an executive order on the first day of his second term to stop federal government weaponization by intelligence agencies.
- Kiriakou stated, "But these CIA people, they're there for 25, 30, 35 years," emphasizing continuity despite presidential changes, and Carlson said, "the CIA kind of controls the president" in this context.
- The claims imply a persistent bureaucratic influence within the intelligence community that can outlast elected officials, suggesting potential limits on presidential authority over federal agencies.
