He will use this to stack the agency the way he stacked the courts. He'll turn all the three letter agencies into his personal Stasi.

This is not a win

Were the Stasi involved in any coups? I don't know. If they weren't and if their violence was merely towards domestic enemies, then this is at least unintentional harm reduction by the Trump administration.
