Fake News

p.s. Maybe I’ll sneak a snort early?

So long as it is afternoon, cocktails are prudent. Lunch bourbon with coffee chaser.

A Nation of Drunkards who became a Nation of Scofflaws.

E pluribus unum.

No shit, not a ring nocker, Awesome.

I watched a bit. He looked like he had it handled.

Indeed. Seems like an operational SEAL.

His opening statement was outstanding, I felt like I should standing to attention while he was making it.

I like him.

[Smitty-48]

I like him.

Not a politician, he's operational, they brought him in to run NCTC

He wasn't supposed to be doing press, he's just the acting DNI.

Mind you, he'd make a better President than any of the clowns the Democrats are running, no doubt.

Tim is angry. Again.

Just out... the spy in the Ukraine accusations is a spy. CIA assigned to Whitehouse.


Boys, the Praetorian Guard is trying to Assassinate Caesar

I don't think Langley is a monolith, this guy was Directorate of Intelligence; analyst.

I bet the actual assassins, Directorate of Operations, NOC's and SAD; are down with MAGA.

They're mostly Green Berets and SEAL's

That whole thing is the most ginned-up POS you'll ever see.


Not even an op worth a shit. Roman-Senate-Greasy-Kid-Stuff built on a fancy font and heavy bond paper.

Hey Smits, at least you can see what warfare led by the lawyers would look like.

Deadly paper cuts and lots of properly cited footnotes.

Langley is not that different from the Pentagon.

There are REMFs at the CIA and there are warfighters at CIA too

Since most the warfighters tend to come from Fort Bragg or Dam Neck, I'm betting that they are Red Team just like the rest of the warfighters in the military.

The combat arms loves them some Trump, REMF's prolly don't, this CIA guy working at the WH is a civilian in all respects, no surprise he would be a Democuck.

The silver lining in this dog n' pony show is that America was introduced to Joe Maguire.

The man running the National Counter Terrorism Center is not a clown.

Non partisan, agnostic public servant, ultra professional, no nonsense Navy SEAL.

That's good news from where I'm sitting.

My sentiments exactly:

Former CIA official on whistleblower: ‘How could this be an intelligence matter?’

My suspicions grew this morning when I saw the declassified whistleblowing complaint. It appears to be written by a law professor and includes legal references and detailed footnotes. It also has an unusual legalistic reference on how this complaint should be classified.

From my experience, such an extremely polished whistleblowing complaint is unheard of. This document looks as if this leaker had outside help, possibly from congressional members or staff.

Moreover, it looks like more than a coincidence that this complaint surfaced and was directed to the House Intelligence Committee just after Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), an outspoken opponent of President Trump, expressed numerous complaints in August 2019 accusing President Trump of abusing aid to Ukraine to hurt Joe Biden. This includes an August 28 tweet that closely resembled the whistleblowing complaint.

House Republicans need to ask the whistleblower under oath whether he spoke to the press or Congress about his complaint.

Some very, very bad lawyering is afoot.
