Former CIA analyst Dr. John Gentry is confirming what we already knew would be the case - that intelligence agencies will be politically active again in interfering in the 2024 presidential election.
According to Fox, Gentry told them "My guess is that the the proverbial deep state within the intelligence community will reemerge because presumably a Republican candidate will again be seen as a threat to the internal policies that many intelligence people like.”
Gentry spent 12 years as a CIA intelligence analyst, and is now a professor at Georgetown University.
Gentry told Fox that downplaying the Hunter Biden laptop was "clearly political" and that a highly placed source told him "in no uncertain terms" that it was done "explicitly" with the "intent to help the Biden campaign."
He said there have already been signs in recent weeks that current or former intelligence agency members will be active in 2024.
"I long have thought we are likely to again see former intelligence officers be politically active against Trump or whomever the Republican presidential candidate is next year, and I expect leaking to resume. The activities of ‘formers’ have resumed already, a bit before I expected."
Gentry referenced a recent article from retired CIA official Marc Polymeropoulos, who was the co-lead of the bogus intel community letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinfo, in which he decried the “threat to the U.S. intelligence community” a second Trump administration would pose. Also co-authoring the article is former FBI employee turned CNN/MSNBC hack Asha Rangappa, who is cartoonishly anti-Trump.
Gentry also warned about the introduction of DEI policies in the intel community shifting priorities to a woke political agenda. "It was an effort half a century ago to get more women and minorities into the intelligence community. This was done under the rubric of affirmative action. It gradually became more of a policy through the Clinton administration. But it took a significant step forward, or not, depending on your perspective, when President Obama signed an executive order designed to improve diversity and inclusion in the federal workforce."
