Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he had the “highest confidence” in the intelligence agencies, while House Speaker Paul Ryan praised them for “working diligently” to take on cyber threats from foreign governments.
This is a PERFECT example of PC speak, and revelatory of the POLITICAL CLASS (Corporate Republicans, Wall St Dems, academics, big biz and bank personnel who use a revolving door to perpetuate their own $ power and influence in both choate and inchoate methods).
Never mind the list of frank failures of the CIA just the item that it was Mike Morell (who ADMITTED IT) the acting director of the CIA who was responsible for working with the Obama Admin to revise the Benghazi talking points to point at the video, and was then repeated by Susan Powers and others ad nauseum until they made themselves ridiculous, is OBJECTIVE reason to LOSE the ‘“highest confidence” in the intelligence agencies’ OFFICIAL NON OFFICIAL and unnamed source.
BECAUSE THAT’S ALL THERE IS. If McCain and Graham known more, LET’S HEAR IT. LET’S SEE IT. That’s what is compulsory at this point.
If the CIA has DETERMINED that Russia is responsible (for an act of war, btw) in trying to warp the basic process of the american republic, then in order to gain the credibility they have SQUANDERED, I think it is time they spelled out EXACTLY how they were able to determine this, and to do it IN THE SUNLIGHT. The confidence gained by the American people in them and their processes would be well worth any loss of methods, and methods, which as any student of the zero day STUXNET can tell you, are WELL KNOWN by MANY private entities, in MANY NATIONS.
If the CIA is playing games, then the American people need to know this as well, and it will be time for a new president to ACT.
It’s that simple.
But as for Ryan and McConnell, they are assuming that they will be able to connive their way past those who voted in Trump, the way they banded with Dems to damage the Tea Party (you didn’t think Lois Lerner walked away as she did without the wink wink, did you?) After all, Ryan and McConnell might want to use the IRS themselves one day, and besides, these Tea Party hooligans might damage the 2 party (Political Class) system which has been so well MANAGED by those who can enter.

The political class will do anything -- ANYTHING! -- to keep the reins of power.
How do we stop them?
Good grief!
Clinton campaign backs electors' request for Russia info before Electoral College vote:
n an open letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the 10 electors from six states and Washington D.C. asked for "a briefing on all investigative findings" related to Russia's role in the election, saying "these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether (Donald Trump) is fit to serve" as president. Their concerns range from reports that the CIA has concluded that Russia used covert operations to help Trump win to Trump aides having alleged ties to Moscow.
They contend that the Electoral College should not summarily cast votes for a state's winner but rather deliberate to ensure that the president is fit to serve. More information on intelligence findings will help them make that decision, they said.
Bunkerville offers us this reminder:
Reminder that the CIA hacked Senate computers in 2014.
Also note this link embedded in the above:
CIA admits it broke into Senate computers; senators call for spy chief’s ouster.
Shouldn't the CIA/FBI also give a detailed assessment of the lengths to which the DNC went to bury Bernie and to hide Hillary's seeming pay-for-play maneuverings?
It goes beyond the political class. How about Boeing selling billions of $ in airplanes to Iran?
As much as I love this country, it is hard not to realize it has been rotting to the core for decades. No more work ethics, personal morals, responsibility, pride of doing the right thing, etc. etc. etc.
