“The Director, in my opinion, is lying at worst, stretching the interpretation at best.”
But isn’t that the SOP for all our government officials? If one of them ever told the truth, they would probably loose their job. Just look at the poor woman Visa investigator who tried to expose the fraud with H-5 visas. They went out and damned near destroyed her.
We used to have officials that would tell the truth. Ones that had scruples. My mom (rest her soul) used to say that while there were Democrat/Republican differences at election time, they settled down and did what was best for the country. I believe that’s why we won WWII in part.
I later remember how Nixon was dogged out of office over 18 minutes by two of the biggest no-talent word-hacks that ever walked this earth. Nixon bowed to propriety and resigned, later redeeming himself with initiatives to China.
Fast forward to Billy “BJ” Clinton and the meaning of “is” and his enlistment of 400 “Constitutional Scholars” who in a 1998 NYT ad that stated a bl@w job (paraphrasing) isn’t a high crime or misdemeanor (totally omitting the lies to a Grand Jury) and we have the politics of “just drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer part and see what whores come up” Bimbo Eruption Hillary and James Carville’s meme.
Fast forward farther to a pResident who won’t publish any of his records, the IRS, Lois Lerner, the IRS IG and whatever pathetic excuse they have for oversight, NSA, FBI, EPA, BLM et al and we have (in my opinion) EVERY Obama-appointed official in this government lying out their ass on cue. I just flat out don’t believe any of them.
