President Lincoln described the Constitution as a “frame of silver” that protects a “golden apple” – the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. CIA is committed to protecting the constitutional rights of all Americans.
At CIA, all new officers take an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. Anchored in the enduring strength of the Constitution, we support the common defense of the Nation from foreign threats—with the unwavering purpose that defines the American spirit.

Echoing @DCIARatcliffe's appreciation for the DOJ-FBI-CIA partnership. We remain committed to advancing transparency so Americans will know the truth.
CIA and DOJ's declassification of the Durham Report Appendix, along with DNI's efforts, further advances President Trump's directive for maximum transparency and fulfills Sen. Grassley's request for disclosure. https://t.co/NTQpgoW9d4

All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump. Thank you to the career @CIA officers who conducted this review and exposed the facts.

I share @DCIARatcliffe's commitment to transparency and analytic objectivity at @CIA. Adherence to analytic processes and rigorous tradecraft is essential to producing the sound analysis our leaders rely on to keep our Nation safe.
Today @DCIARatcliffe released a lessons-learned review of the procedures and tradecraft employed in the preparation of an IC Assessment conducted shortly after the 2016 election. https://t.co/H8NNAcsCGf
