The CIA has been weakened progressively over the 80s and 90s. Bush 41 did just as much as Bill Clinton did. But that wouldn't fit most people's narrative so you don't hear about it.
I'm so sick and tired of unacceptable behavior being explained away by "the other guy did it." It's still unacceptable.
