Yes, this is the way everyone should look at the CIA and other swamp spooks. They give you a fat old professor and hope we will argue over him for the next 7 months until democrats can take back the house. But they would not give us the one old spy if there weren’t others they were hiding from public view. Never be satisfied with the press or the CIA giving you stuff. They only give you what they have to, so they can hide the rest.
Also, this is very important. Be aware that blackmail is the real currency of the swamp and foreign spies. We were given numerous emails that were damning to the Clintons. That is not to say that true in your face emails of obvious crimes and collisions aren’t still out there. The emails released by wikileaks were just a warning shot. Both parties and all major governments have piles of blackmail that they try to use on our politicians. Thats why people suddenly resign to go back to their family. Thats why people do X when they campaign on Y. Why is Paul Ryan suddenly quitting? He will get 60% of the vote for a decade. These people want out of the blackmail.
And by the way Trump seems to say, throw it out there. I will take all the blackmail you got. Its easier to be a billionaire than it is to be a saint. Billionaires don’t rely on their saintliness to win elections. They rely on their ability to get things done, sometimes by cracking a few heads.
JFK before he died signed an executive order taking away the responsibility of spying for national security reasons away from the CIA and giving it to the military. I wonder what he knew then.
