Personally, I don't care who thinks they run any of these major agencies. At an average, the largest agencies will have about a dozen or so political appointees at the top, with half of them being "administrative" workers. The other upteen thousand employees in each agency, including the career supervisors and managers, really run the day-to-day operations regardless which politician became president, and the managers, supervisors and employees I've been privileged to know and serve with all are working their collective butts off to keep the nation as safe as possible. They've done a good job!
