CIA can’t be bothered to brief House committee on ‘Russian hacking of election’
Canada Free Press ^ | 12/15/16 | Dan Calabrese

Too busy or something

I guess it works like this at the Obama CIA: Whoever is in charge of blabbing “secret” intelligence assessments has only so much time, and he used it all up blabbing to the New York Times and the Washington Post. When a House committee wanted to know what was going on, well, you know, there’s only so much time in the day:

The House Intelligence Committee abruptly canceled a briefing set for Thursday on alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election, after the CIA declined to provide a briefer for the session, Fox News is told.

Don’t want to raise their hands and swear to it, perhaps.

It is possible that the source of the hacking stories is John Brennan (at Obama’s direction) and lower level CIA managers, knowing Brennan’s days are numbered, are simply refusing to back him up.

Because it didn’t happen and they know it.

That is the reality not the fake news bs.

Also, the progressive thugs in the CIA, know that Trump can get rid of the CIA with an EXo like Truman got rid of the OSS after WWII with an EXo and started the beginning of the CIA.

Is it past time for President Trump in 2017 to end the CIA?

President Truman did not trust the OSS and its increasing power.

At the end of WWII, he signed an ExO ending the OSS.

September 20, 1945, President Truman signed Executive Order 9621, terminating the OSS. His Order became effective October 1, 1945. In the days following, the functions of the OSS were split between the Department of State and the Department of War.

The State Department received the Research and Analysis Branch of OSS (originally created by Edward Mead Earle[28]) which was renamed the Interim Research and Intelligence Service or IRIS,[29] headed by U.S. Army Colonel Alfred McCormack. Later it was renamed the Bureau of Intelligence and Research by the State
Department.

It appears that James Clapper refuses to be caught in another act of perjury before Congress.

Because the CIA knows it never happened,and are now either caught lying abut it, or the rags which reported this crap have been found lying.
Either way the media , and the Dems who are quick to keep reporting this now look even more stupid than they did last week.

Perhaps because they have nothing to report, they made it up.

Imagine how stupid they’d look. “Well, after extensive deliberation, we concluded that we have no idea how those emails got out, so it MUST have been the Russians. Or Seth Rich, and we really don’t want to get into all that, so ... Russians, yeah. Had to be. And who would give them to Wikileaks? Well... Russians, again, because... you KNOW how they are. I mean, it’s just a Russian sort of thing to DO, right? So... there you have it.”

Send the CIA a note, very polite: Your declination of appearing in front of our committee at this time is fine. We will convene at 9am, Jan 21 and you be there.

They know they were on the verge of committing treason with the lies and opted to back off - even Lynch is now helping them regroup by saying there is no “technical” evidence in the whole scam.

Paging Leon Panetta. It's bad when Trump declines a briefing, but it's okay when the CIA declines to do one? What's up wid' dat?
