Sullivan replies: Were only lying footsoldiers [sic]. Youre lying masterminds. Thats cooler.
A redacted official replies to Sullivan: I prefer that we go by henchmen. Has more of a Marvel comic sinisterness to it. There should be a cable show where all the guests, and the anchor, have to wear polygraphs. Or, when theres a dispute between source, the aggrieved parties take a poly, with some neutral third party rendering judgment. The Biggest Liar.
Rhodes says to Sullivan: Id like to go on television and tell everybody what I think . Look at it this way. I[t] could be worse. You could be a career bureaucrat whose greatest thrill in life is leaking half-truths, self-justifications and outright lies to the likes of Eli Lake, Kim Dozier, and whoever picks up the phone at Fox News.
Their contempt for the American People, and the truth, is stunning. They litterally enjoy lying to us, and look down on us.
Yep, in my view they’ve joined others that are the scum of the earth.
