Plus, 90% of the time it seemed like whatever difficultly the old lady that was ripped off was having was so blatantly illegal that I wondered why they didn't start with the FBI.(I actually know the answer to this one: The fuzz is boring and requires that things be "investigated" and that "evidence" has to be collected, and then there's all that time spent in arrests and trials. Whereas the A-Team would just go in there and blow shit up and Get 'Er Done.)(And fire roughly a thousand rounds of high-velocity ammo that somehow never resulted in a fatality.)

You hit the nail on the head, Dom. Mercenaries. The administration doesn't want the boys and girls in uniform and intelligence agencies doing their jobs. They want dirtbags for-hire doing their bidding. Makes me wonder if those boys and girls are ever going to use the tools they've amassed to actually protect us

We could call it them Defense Utilization Missions, DUM for short. Pompeo could get cool secret orders via self destructing cassette tapes. “...as usual Mr. Pompeo, should any of your DUM forces be captured or killed, the President will Tweet a denial of any knowledge of you or your actions...”

Please stop writing "based out of". It has to be the single most annoying misuse of language.

I thought Mr. Pompeo was the head of the CIA. Anyone see the irony of this? He has to now go outside the CIA to what...? Strange times.
