Our “intelligence services” are totally corrupt, the Congress is totally corrupt, the DOJ is totally corrupt, the vipers controlling the WH are totally corrupt.

Being exposed doesn’t matter. Only one thing matters.

"Chuck Schumer in 2017: "Our intelligence agencies have six ways from Sunday to get back at their critics."

Said with an approving smirk, this comment by the leading Senate Democrat (1) signaled his approval of Deep State criminality and (2) telegraphed his confidence that the Deep State would always be on his side.

We saw evidence of this before, during, and after the 2016 election, and it continues to this day. One of the most flagrant examples of this was the false statement - issued just before the election and signed by dozens of high-ranking intelligence officials - claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story was "Russian disinformation." Not only was this statement used as a justification for the MSM and Big Tech to censor the story, but it switched the focus and culpability onto the Trump campaign and conservative media, who were portrayed as Russian dupes, liars, even co-conspirators. A story damaging to Biden was thus flipped and used to damage Trump.

Setting aside the issue of election fraud, this single story may have been sufficient to give Biden his narrow margin of victory. Seventeen months later, the Ukraine is in shambles and we are on the verge of war with Russia, two developments that would have been very unlikely had Trump remained in office. Corrupt intelligence agencies are not only a threat to our freedoms, but they can be deadly, as we are now seeing.

In Washington DC, loyalty to the country Party is all that matters.

Look at the whores who did respond. Their acknowledgment of their complete lack of probity -- and Hepburn practically brags about his own ignorance -- means the deep state needs removal. Now.

• Don Hepburn, former national security executive, now president of Boanerges Solutions LLC: “My position has not changed any. I believe the Russians made a huge effort to alter the course of the election . . . The Russians are masters of blending truth and fiction and making something feel incredibly real when it’s not. Nothing I have seen really changes my opinion. I can’t tell you what part is real and what part is fake, but the thesis still stands for me, that it was a media influence hit job.”

• Jonna Hiestand Mendez, former CIA technical operations officer, now on board of the International Spy Museum: “I don’t have any comment. I would need a little more information.”

• Emile Nakhleh, former director of CIA’s Political Islam Strategic Analysis Program, now at University of New Mexico: “I have not seen any information since then that would alter the decision behind signing the letter. That’s all I can go into. The whole issue was highly politicized and I don’t want to deal with that. I still stand by that letter.”

• Greg Treverton, former National Intelligence Council chair, now senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies: “I’ll pass. I haven’t followed the case recently.”

"The Post reached out to those who signed the letter. Most would answer the question.""

Do they mean that most WOULDN'T answer the question?

In the Roman days everyone one of these would be rounded up and done- you know what to- once a new regime came to power. Voting for the same old same old (D v R) isn’t working anymore.....
