Over the last couple days, I& #39;ve had a flood of tips coming from people who want to talk about the challenges facing the intelligence community right now.

Issue #1? The ongoing pandemic.

For the rank and file, I heard a lot of complaints about how leadership has handled the pandemic—particularly now that many agencies are going back to work near full capacity.

But it& #39;s an impossible position to be in for senior officials who need to do classified, secret stuff. At least for now.
Continuing to improve on this should be a priority for the IC in the future, says @Mpolymer. If multibillion dollar corporations can do it...
Second major concern? Last minute, little noticed Trump executive orders.

Multiple sources told me that diversity and inclusion initiatives across the IC have been cancelled, because of Trump& #39;s EO.

Here& #39;s why that& #39;s dangerous, from @CindyOtis_:
And finally, there& #39;s politics. People disagree about this one most frequently. It& #39;s hard to say definitively that politicization is driving a flood of resignations, but I got the sense that it& #39;s at least exhausting, an ingredient for some who are eyeing outside jobs.
@danielhoffmanDC reminds our readers of a well-oiled truth in the IC. Politics come and go, we stay the same.
While others specifically cited ongoing politicization, and the position they& #39;ve been put in because of it, as a stressor that might lead some to jump ship if Trump were reelected.
The takeaway? It& #39;s a tough time, uniquely so for the IC.

And they& #39;ve got their work cut out for them.
