This morning Joe Concha tweeted out an article by Mike Morell, a former Deputy Director of the CIA from 2010-2013. Morell said, in essence, “the only culprit in the Flynn ‘unmasking’ scandal is the Trump administration.”
I’ve never liked Morell. I always found him slimy and less than honest. Others have as well. During the Benghazi episode Morell was thought to be “lacking candor” to coin a phrase. Here is one take:
After former acting CIA Director Mike Morell testified to the House Intelligence Committee that he is the one who changed the Benghazi talking points, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) renewed her call for a select committee to investigate the attack. She suggested that Morell either lied to senators shortly after the attack, or lied during his testimony today.
Very specific language presumably based on intelligence we’ve gathered. And he kind of shrugged it off when you asked him about it. Well you can’t shrug it off. Don’t we deserve something better in this country than to have intelligence professionals who mislead as a matter of course. Who did it at the time, did it in their book, do it in interviews. Shouldn’t we expect that our intelligence professionals tell the truth and be straight with the American people?
Morell also was quicker than lightning to subsequently seize a seat on talk shows and stake out the democrat position.
It was Morell’s logorrhea that pushed me over the edge with regard to our Intelligence communities.
So to repeat Steve Hayes’ question-
Shouldn’t we expect that our intelligence professionals tell the truth and be straight with the American people?
We should, but we can’t. They’re all corrupt. All of them. The CIA and the FBI are horrendous. It seems to me that the more dishonest you are the higher up in the organization you go.
James Clapper is a documented liar. He said “there could be evidence” of Trump-Russia collusion despite having testified at the same time that he never saw any such evidence.
Andrew McCabe got fired because his dishonesty. He said “I think it’s possible” that Trump is a Russian agent without the slightest bit of evidence.
John Brennan is a documented liar. Brennan used his position to spy on the Senate.
James Comey is a galactic liar. who admitted he “took advantage” of the early Trump White House confusion to “send a couple of guys” over to frame Michael Flynn in violation of FBI protocols. He would speculate that there could be a “pee tape” again without a shred of proof it ever existed.
These are the heads of intelligence services. They are the leaders. What the f**k is wrong with them that they can so easily lie to the country? What the hell kind of criteria are used to promote this kind of monster? Aren’t they supposed to be above politics? They knew the truth but kept on spewing disinformation in the hopes of destroying a Presidency.
They have collectively ruined the intelligence community. You come to realize that the FBI and CIA are not there to solve crimes, but to create them and punish innocent people who complicate their goals or might otherwise expose them. They banded together to prevent the election of Donald Trump and then sought to overthrow him once he was elected.
I don’t have much faith that these vermin will suffer the fate they so richly deserve- imprisonment. Frankly, IMO their actions border on treason and hanging wouldn’t be out of the question. That’s highly unlikely given the corruption in the agencies which would be investigating them. Both the FBI and CIA should be shut down permanently. They do more harm than good.
There is also no doubt all of their evildoing came with the express approval of the then dirtbag in chief- barack obama. The damage obama has done to this country is incalculable.
Again
Shouldn’t we expect that our intelligence professionals tell the truth and be straight with the American people?
Yes, but it isn’t going to happen. Ever. They are mendacious and incorrigible. They have poisoned the IC to the point where it cannot be trusted to do anything other than wrongly destroy reputations and entrap the innocent. I had hopes for Christopher Wray but he has proved himself to be another swamp creature.
The CIA and the FBI must be dismantled and we need to start anew with something of more transparency and integrity.
