And I'm told, this is wandering away from the intelligence community here, but I'm told by a fellow I've gotten to know reasonably well, serving U.S.

Army officer at the moment,

He said that even in the intelligence part of the army, that the partisan domestic American politics are spoken openly on a regular basis in the military.

business offices.

So it's part of the day-to-day business, and it's very, very strongly pro-Biden.

That was absolutely forbidden.

You just didn't do that.

It's common now.

And in fact, it's common at CIA too, and at the ODNI, and I suspect probably.

I've got reports from both of those places, and I suspect it's common elsewhere too.

It just doesn't exist anymore.

It's part of the cultural transformation.
