I think that draining the swamp will occur when all these appointments are confirmed and start working on Trump's agenda.  I'm not happy at the moment that Trump is engaging in a war of words with the intelligence community.  Yes, I believe that the heads of these groups have becoome politicized, due to the pressure to please the current Administration, but the actual analysts are most likely on the level.  As we have previously discussed, intelligence comes in from many sources.  Some people like to cherry pick intelligence to prove their belief, but the true analysts take intelligence from multiple sources and analyze it to come up with what is called "finished intelligence"  In the last 10 years, the cherry pick method has been popular amongst poliiticians.  One thing to keep in mind is that intelligence is like an art, and it is subjet to interpretation.
