I heard something about 17 agencies saying it was the Russians, and all 17 agencies are headed by one guy. So it’s one guy saying it through his many agencies.
So then I heard Michael Medved parroting the “17 agencies” nonsense and cracked up.
IIRC hillary said 17 agencies too at the last debate.
Ridiculous
My understanding is there are 16 intel agencies under one umbrella. One of those agencies said something loosely about Russians, the umbrella agency—which afaik has no actual intel agents, it’s a bureacratic umbrella—repeated the finding, and now the narrative is 17 intel agencies found blah blah Russians blah. It is total spin.
The 17 agencies lie was a huge Clinton gaffe that the media ignored. Among the 17 agencies are Coast Guard Intelligence, Marine Corps Intelligence and the Department of Energy. Any moron would realize that not every one of the 17 agencies has even the slightest ability to investigate and reach an opinion on this issue.
