New Cracks in Russia-gate ‘Assessment’

Consortium News ^ | 23 | Robert Parry

[God luvs America]

did any of the moronic GOP on the committee (Gowdy excluded) challenge Brennan about this???

[dirtboy]

When Brennan testified about the quantity of intelligence about contacts between the Trump Campaign and Russian interests, the first question should have been, “Just how did you come about knowing that the Americans in question were part of the Trump Campaign?”

They buy caviar? Grey goose?

[thinden]

interesting perspective

[where's_the_Outrage?]

Wow, why would they fail to include the Coast Guard Intelligence?

Here are the 17 intel agencies:

[stylin19a]

It only involved the FBI, NSA and CIA as well as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence...

How can this be true ?
John Brennan(CIA) claimed evidence.
Clapper(DNI) claimed no evidence.

[Lorianne]

That whole “17 intelligence agencies” thing was a lie from the get go.

Larry Johnson was right. There was no written report from these “17 agencies”. They did not all conclude the same thing. Another of the many lies of H. Clinton and her sycophant media.

We are being lied to over and over and over again by our government and their lapdog media. It never ends.

There is no point to an ‘investigation’ because they are all corrupt and in on the lying game.

[Steven Tyler]

When Hillary’s sever was hacked, they did not permit the FBI to investigate the crime.
Why? Cause Hillary knew it must have been an inside job.

Why did Hillary call in Crowdstrike to inspect the server?
To map the path back to the leaker and identify all of Seth Rich’s associates

[etcb]

How many in a high state of outrage used the "17 U.S. intelligence agencies all agreed" argument to justify their argument that no one could possibly question the report? Have anyone conceded they may have been mislead? It would appear that the headline should have been: "A small group selected by the political leadership from 24 percent of the U.S. intelligence agencies issued a critical report subsequently leaked to selected media outlets."

I believe we used to call this “ cherry picking”

[Ray76]

It was sold as the assessment of the “intelligence community” - which we all knew was a lie. Nice of Brennan to admit it.

[spokeshave]

It wasn’t a full inter-agency community assessment that was coordinated among the 17 agencies, and for good reason because of the nature and the sensitivity of the information trying, once again, to keep that tightly compartmented.”

Ha ...blows a hole in Obambi legacy

as he mandated release of Trump and associates wire taps to all 17 agencies and some overseas.

[Sasparilla]

...Wow, why would they fail to include the Coast Guard Intelligence...

Coast Guard appears to be there, but where’s the Merchant Marine?

[Gargantua]

From the same folks who told you Benghazi was outrage over a video.

They have the same credibility as "Baghdad Bob."

None.

[Ray76]

> if she won as expected and learned of the operation – she might have sought revenge against him and his country.

Nonsense. Putin and Clinton do business together.

[Ray76]

It’s theater.

[Robert357]

When the dust settles, I want to see the BIG ZERO in front of a jury in an orange jumpsuit, along with many of his aids and intelligence agency heads.

[blueplum]

I listed to Brennan’s testimony and the one question I wish had been asked was, if everyone, from Intel to MSM to Russia believed that Hillary was going to win, why would Brennen be concerned in the least about any contacts?

Robert Parry. A great reporter on Iran Contra.
