I have a good friend from my Army days who is still in, and currently serving at the five-sided building near D.C. He stopped by recently while TDY near here, and over drinks said that this is a passing match between the CIA and the Joint Chiefs over who commands the assets, and who pays for it. CIA wants DOD to foot the bill while they call the shots. DOD is saying if you want to be in charge, pay for it. In short, nothing unusual, except it's getting a lit of press, because it's all Trump's fault.
