Just this week, NY Times had to retract the lie that “17 intelligence agencies” all agreed that Russia interfered with the election. They had to correct from 17 down to 4.
And which 4 agencies “all agreed”?
FBI (Comey)
CIA (Brennan)
National Intelligence (Clapper)
NSA (Rice lead White House advisor)
NSA = National Security Agency, Admiral (I think!) Rogers is still DIRNSA.
NSA = National Security Advisor = used to be Rice (though I thought she was just the deputy NSA)
Two completely different things & people!
There is a bunch of seditious goons,
Named Comey, Rice, and Clapper,
They’re hoisted on their own petards,
And their careers are in the crapper.
It’s even worse than that. I read this in a WND article. I realize it’s WND, but I think it’s worth looking at this more closely.
***But even that correction is inaccurate.
The assessment was not “made by four intelligence agencies.” The four agencies approved the assessment. But the assessment itself was not done by the four agencies. It was done by a highly irregular committee.
That fact was disclosed by former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on May 8, when he acknowledged the assessment was not conducted by his office, the FBI, the CIA and the NSA, but by a panel.
Clapper told senators the assessment was actually made by two dozen or so “seasoned experts” who were “handpicked” from the contributing agencies.
And how did those four agencies verify the accuracy of the panel’s assessment and ultimately give it their stamp of approval?
Clapper merely stated, “I’m not aware of anyone who dissented or – or disagreed when it came out.”
Former CIA officer Fred Fleitz, whose 25 years of service in national security positions also included posts at the Defense Intelligence Agency, Department of State and the House Intelligence Committee staff, said convening such a panel was a drastic departure from normal protocol, went against all standing rules, carried a strong political stench and rendered the findings suspicious.***
