Especially when you say:
I dont know about CIA - when I was there as a contractor, they seemed very bureaucratic and liberal. CIA hates Congress. If someone knew something about Obama, I think he or shed most likely want to sit on it.
That may be exactly what happened!
If all this happened several years ago CIA may have been sitting on this info just like Hillary and who knows how many others "have been sitting on it."
I think you hit it.
Many years ago, around the days of Vietnam, I used to know several of the top guys in the CIA, and heard a bit of talk in the evening. And many years later I heard from one of these guys grandsons, at a beach barbecue, that his grandfather had been on the board of Air America, which among other things did the drug smuggling from the Golden Triangle during the Vietnam War years. Supposedly to help pay for the war and ingratiate allies.
All I’ll say about it is that, back then at least, all the top guys seemed to be Ivy Leaguers. And as you say, they were basically liberals. Liberals of privilege.
