I thought it the CIA Director's job to identify the people involved in subverting our government and end it. I find it very odd the CIA Director can't control the Russia subversives to the USA elections when the influence is online access and the USA has invested so heavily in internet monitoring.
Is Pompeo saying the multi-billion dollar complex to detect terrorist activity is a waste of time? I think Pompeo appreciates the effect of Russian influence in USA elections and looks the other way.
Why hasn't the activity ended or DECREASED since the very valid understanding the Russias effected the 2016 elections? As a CIA Director how can he state he is proud of an agency that can't even protect the integrity of foreign influence in our elections?
Pompeo has stated he has unleashed and unburdened the CIA. What the heck does that mean? What burden aren't they carrying anymore?

The director of the CIA (click here) expects that Russia will target the US mid-term elections later this year.
Mike Pompeo told the BBC there had been no significant diminishing of Russian attempts at subversion in Europe and the US.
He also said North Korea may have the ability to strike the US with nuclear missiles "in a handful of months".
The US intelligence community has said that it believes Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
Mr Pompeo, who briefs the president most mornings, dismissed as "drivel" recent claims that US President Donald Trump was not up to the job.
The director's conference room on the seventh floor of the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, is lined with pictures of former directors and the presidents they served.
And Mr Pompeo is clear about his vision for the CIA under President Trump....
