'Major housecleaning' needed after Biden team waged info war using unverified intel, expert says

Fred Fleitz, former chief of staff at the National Security Council, made his comments following a report that the U.S. released unverified information in order to stop Russia from invading Ukraine.

In the wake of a report that the U.S. released unverified intelligence reports as a way to stop Russia from invading Ukraine, a former U.S. intelligence official said that the Biden administration needs to "clean house" at the National Security Council and other agencies.

"We have to have a major housecleaning of these agencies," said Fred Fleitz, former chief of staff at the National Security Council and a longtime intelligence expert. "I mean, the whole top floor of some of these agencies has to be fired."

Fleitz made his comments in response to a Wednesday report from NBC News that three senior U.S. intelligence officials admitted they released unverified intelligence in order to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to stand down from invading Ukraine.

Three U.S. officials said this week there is no evidence that Moscow has sent chemical weapons to Ukraine, the outlet reported. "They said the U.S. released the information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions," the authors wrote.

The tactic is among many the Biden administration has used as part of an information war against Russia, the outlet noted.

"Coordinated by the White House National Security Council, the unprecedented intelligence releases have been so frequent and voluminous, officials said, that intelligence agencies had to devote more staff members to work on the declassification process, scrubbing the information so it wouldn't betray sources and methods," the outlet reported.

It’s nice not to consider the media to be the principal source of lies these days. It’s less nice to find out it’s our own government. Again.

These dem morons actually have no idea at all that lies on the world stage don’t work and only make a laughing stock of them, exposing their stupidity, weakness, and complete unfitness to occupy their positions in the real world as opposed to their fantasy parallel universe.

It’s THEY, that need to be cancelled!

We said that Russia was going to attack Ukraine and they did. I thought Putin was not that stupid to attack Ukraine and that he was bluffing because he’s a strongman in Russia and it made him appear tough. Our intelligence may have overestimated Russia’s capabilities but I don’t see that as a bad thing. That got the Ukrainians to prepare their defenses and that’s what happened before the invasion.

Perhaps it’s all an act (dementia) to allow for “PLAUSIBLE DENIBILITY”

Yet even in casual conversation, it's a felony to lie to ANY branch of the federal government. The penalty on the books is 5 years in prison per lie.

that the U.S. released unverified information in order to stop Russia from invading Ukraine.

Russia/Putin made up their mind to invade Ukraine when Biden become President. No amount of ridiculous image shaping, narrative creation or corrupt MSM propaganda was going to change that. America's DC-based elites live in their own fantasy-land.

The saw how easy it was to manipulate people with Covid, and how there is zero accountability.

3 nights of Cable TV and people will get their three year olds shots who’s contents won’t be revealed for 60 yrs, and they’ll want to attack the people that don’t put their kids up for the shot.

Biden’s handlers believe Crisis governing opens up everything and gives him a huge advantage. It certainly opened up the Treasury like no country in History has ever done.

Actually, they released the “secret” information to china to hopefully push Russia to invade.

And it worked.

And backfired.

Because the USIC is a bunch of clowns. Eff ups. Idiots. Morons.

And don’t forget, Biden (or his handlers) told Xi that Ukraine was joining NATO, knowing that would get back to Putin

Nobody in the world can trust the United States of America anymore. Her own people cannot trust her. She’s been proven a liar too many times now, to her citizens at home and nations abroad, especially to foment starting wars or to go to war herself.

This is not a place our nation should be. This is the antithesis of national security.

The Federal government needs to be scaled down by 75%. Get back to Constitutionally authorized business, and leave the rest to the states.
Obama’s #1 goal, and accomplishment, was to infect every agency with leftists, communists, muslims, and every other America-hating miscreant. He did it well.
Not sure it can be corrected through the elective process, it might take stronger measures, but it’s past the tipping point.

“…three senior U.S. intelligence officials admitted they released unverified intelligence in order to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to stand down from invading Ukraine…”

Just like blundering, amateur crooks, that’s the kind of stuff that happens when incompetent, dishonest and desperate losers get blindsided by events, that capable and honest people would have presciently anticipated and avoided.

‘Happened’??

Try, ‘engineered’!! I’m NEVER going to be convinced that it wasn’t planned to coincide with the US national election!

Well, the FAKE NEWS by our side was certainly gobbled up and spit out by the Bidenistas here.
