I don't believe they are conspiratorial or paranoid. The mission of the CIA is information gathering and analysis to gain knowledge, not paranoia. The current president may not listen to facts, but that doesn't mean everyone in government follows his lead. Or even most. I believe they are good people overall, who take their mission to protect democracy seriously.

I know this isn't a popular opinion here, but I've been following this for 4 years now and I don't believe the CIA or the FBI can be described as "unaccountable bureaucrats". Furthermore I believe it is dangerous spreading such beliefs without good evidence to the contrary about people who are out there every day trying to do heroic things in our defense.
