CIA Officer’s Controversial Comments on Trump Surface

A senior officer at the CIA, Susan Miller, who played a role in the 2016 U.S. Intelligence Community Assessment regarding Russian election interference, has come under scrutiny for her critical remarks about President Donald Trump. Some of her past social media comments depict Trump as a “dictator.”

Recent reports have highlighted Miller’s statements, indicating she was part of the team that led the 2016 ICA. The CIA’s assessments were released under Director John Ratcliffe. A specific document titled “Commercial Review” from the ICA has also been mentioned.

According to an article from the New York Times, Miller expressed her concerns on LinkedIn about the FBI’s dismantling of investigative teams, calling it “awful” and further indicative of Trump’s dictatorial behavior.

In response to discussions around a Washington Post article, Miller commented that Trump exhibits “a dictator’s desire,” citing this as evidence of his “lack of empathy” and admiration for authoritarian leaders.

Moreover, she appeared to draw a parallel between Trump and Hitler, stating that the analogy hadn’t “escaped our group.”

She also responded to a New York Times article discussing the firing of a CIA doctor, describing the situation as “good sadness” and condemning the harsh treatment of individuals deemed political extremists.

In various comments, Miller conveyed that both Trump and Elon Musk foster a culture that labels federal employees as “non-American and unpatriotic,” criticizing their actions as rooted in “cruelty and sadistic joy.”

While it’s clear Miller isn’t a fan of Trump, she previously noted her support for him during the election. She referred to him as “our dear leader,” remarking on his desires for global dominance.

In a recent interview, Miller defended her team’s investigation into Trump and Russian interference, claiming they approached it with an open mind. She asserted that evidence suggested Russia favored Trump in 2016, but there was no proof of collusion.

Miller mentioned that unverified documents, termed the Steele dossier, were included in the final report because the FBI insisted on their inclusion, despite her team’s reservations about their validity. She expressed frustration over the lack of time to thoroughly vet these documents before publication.

When questioned about whether she had ever seen evidence implicating Trump as a Kremlin asset, Miller remarked that she’d encountered some information but was still assessing its truthfulness.
