So the problem is that the President, who is the constitutional official in charge of foreign policy, made a statement that the CIA didn't like? I keep forgetting that the President reports to the intelligence community.! |

I'd go farther and say that some will ignore the evidence no matter what it is. We should ignore ignore those people. The press...every last fucking outlet that exists...has proven more than willing to publish complete and total falsehoods in the interest of promoting their preferred narratives and political outcome. All of them. Officials high in government have demonstrated that they will embrace complete and utter falsehoods in the interest of promoting their preferred narratives and favored political outcomes. So when it's abundantly clear that the press is a gaggle of liars and that people in high positions in the government...be they elected or civil servants...and this has been demonstrated repeatedly, it's pretty reasonable for those "some" people to believe that this is yet another instance of the same shit they've seen so shamelessly presented before. "But, but, we're not lying this time!" We've seen lots of extraordinary claims over the last three years. All without any of the required extraordinary evidence. Pushed primarily by people who are lying through their teeth in an effort to seize power. But, hey...anyone who distrusts what is being printed and promoted by that same cast of characters this time must be some sort of brain dead zealot.

We have no evidence other than the word of WaPo and Schiff that this whistleblower complaint was actually tagged by the IG as Urgent Concern. Neither the complaint or the alleged letter from the IG to IC have been made public. The only source of that info is Schiff. What we do know is the ODNI said in his letter to Schiff that A. It wasn't Urgent Concern as it had no direct impact on any intelligence operation that DNI had authority over B. it had no direct impact on any intelligence operation that DNI had authority over  Attached File |
