1. When you think about it.....
...it really is nice of the CIA and the MIC to brief the new incoming President on what they're doing. I mean it's not like they have to.

2. I'm reminded of Bill Hick's take on the President
Whenever a new president is elected, Hicks explained, they'd take him into a smoke filled room and show him footage of the Kennedy assassination shot from a different angle from the Zabruder Film that no one had ever seen,..... And then say

'ANY QUESTIONS?....... I thought not.'
