I have become interested in William Binney since I heard he was a “NSA Whistleblower”. This is interesting. https://theintercept.com/2017/11/07/dnc-hack-trump-cia-director-william-binney-nsa/
“THE ANALYSIS BY Binney and his colleagues aligns neatly with Trump’s frequent public skepticism of the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 campaign to damage Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and help elect Trump. The declassified summary of a U.S. intelligence community report, based on the work of the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA and made public in early January before Trump’s inauguration, stated that “Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump.” Trump has frequently raged against the accusation that he won the presidency thanks to help from the Russians, labeling the charge “fake news.”
“The Director stands by, and has always stood by, the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment,” Boyd, the CIA spokesperson, said.
Binney’s claim that the email theft was committed by an insider at the DNC also helps fuel one of the more bizarre conspiracy theories that has gained traction on the right: that the murder of a young DNC staffer last year was somehow connected to the data theft. Binney said he mentioned the case of Seth Rich to Pompeo during their meeting.
The meeting raises questions about Pompeo’s willingness to act as an honest broker between the intelligence community and the White House, and his apparent refusal to push back against efforts by the president to bend the intelligence process to suit his political purposes. Instead of acting as a filter between Trump and the intelligence community, Pompeo’s decision to meet with Binney raises the possibility that right-wing theories aired on Fox News and in other conservative media can now move not just from conservative pundits to Trump, but also from Trump to Pompeo and into the bloodstream of the intelligence community.”

I have always liked Pompeo & Binney is (clearly / indisputably) right IMO - the media ignores what Pompeo was saying: 1) Of course Russia interfered in our election - Hillary Clinton & DNC paid a foreign agent (Steele) to collude with high level Russians and conspired to corrupt our highest Court(s) and law enforcement agencies in order to protect O+HRC, and steal the election from Donald Trump and, once failed, ton continue their seditious conspiracy. 2) The two (2) MS-13 that are said to have killed SR were themselves targeted for assassination. Thus he/they still had some work to do before the truth comes out ;)
