Yesterday morning Joe Concha tweeted out an article by Mike Morell, a former Deputy Director of the CIA from 2010-2013. Morell said, in essence, "the only culprit in the Flynn ‘unmasking’ scandal is the Trump administration."
I've never liked Morell. I always found him slimy and less than honest. Others have as well. During the Benghazi episode Morell was thought to be "lacking candor" to coin a phrase. Here is one take:
After former acting CIA Director Mike Morell testified to the House Intelligence Committee that he is the one who changed the Benghazi talking points, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) renewed her call for a select committee to investigate the attack. She suggested that Morell either lied to senators shortly after the attack, or lied during his testimony today.Steve Hayes:
Very specific language presumably based on intelligence we've gathered. And he kind of shrugged it off when you asked him about it. Well you can't shrug it off. Don't we deserve something better in this country than to have intelligence professionals who mislead as a matter of course. Who did it at the time, did it in their book, do it in interviews. Shouldn't we expect that our intelligence professionals tell the truth and be straight with the American people?Morell also was quicker than lightning to subsequently seize a seat on talk shows and stake out the democrat position.
It was Morell's logorrhea that pushed me over the edge with regard to our Intelligence communities.
So to repeat Steve Hayes' question-
Shouldn't we expect that our intelligence professionals tell the truth and be straight with the American people?
We should, but we can't. They're all corrupt. All of them. The CIA and the FBI are horrendous. It seems to me that the more dishonest you are the higher up in the organization you go.
James Clapper is a documented liar. He said "there could be evidence" of Trump-Russia collusion despite having testified at the same time that he never saw any such evidence.
Andrew McCabe got fired because his dishonesty. He said "I think it's possible" that Trump is a Russian agent without the slightest bit of evidence.
John Brennan is a documented liar. Brennan used his position to spy on the Senate.
James Comey is a galactic liar. who admitted he "took advantage" of the early Trump White House confusion to "send a couple of guys" over to frame Michael Flynn in violation of FBI protocols. He would speculate that there could be a "pee tape" again without a shred of proof it ever existed.
These are the heads of intelligence services. They are the leaders. What the f**k is wrong with them that they can so easily lie to the country?

Everyone in Washington wants power or and to be close to it.
They lied because they knew their lies would be covered by powerful politicians.

Not just the Democrats, politicians but 100% of the liberal media except for maybe Hannity and a couple others on Fox News
One of the foundational principles of Progressivism is that the common people are stupid and must be lead by the Elite.
The Elite must lie to them to get them to do what they should do.
One of the foundational lies is the Constitution is outdated and irrelevant.
Having seen in the 90’s how unchecked corruption at the top tends to flow downward in federal agencies, it’s a reasonable bet to expect massive corruption among FBI supervisors and agents. They feel emboldened by the crimes at the top and their inner criminals begin to emerge. That agency has been circling the ethical and moral drain since at least Waco and Ruby Ridge, with total support from all the democrat pashas in DC.
“My-y-y...PRECIOUS!”
Shut the FBI down and make each person reapply for their job.
The only way to fix the problem is to vet each person. Short of doing this, the problems will never be fixed.
Who will trust the FBI? I know I won’t.
