Amazing that people unqualifiedly believe the CIA about the nature and extent of Russian hacking when it also provided the โintelligenceโ that justified the Iraq war.
Have none of you an ounce of critical thinking skills? Do you really think the CIA has no agenda of its own, no political objective itโs advancing toward?
Grow up, folks. Oh wait, these are Dems weโre talking about here. They canโt. Instead, they caper about in playground games while the other side rolls out the tactical nukes. I forgot.
What political agenda do you think the CIA is advancing and why do you think it’s in conflict with the FBI this time?
The CIA depends on having a “big bad” around to receive lavish funding. ISIS isn’t really proving out. They are weak and getting weaker. Even excitable Americans don’t feel much threatened by ISIS.
Russia, though — that’s a different story. They have nukes. They have a real air force. They have a charismatic and powerful leader.
The CIA wants it to be like the glory days of the Cold War again, and Russia would like that as well. It’s a natural partnership of antagonistic brinksmanship that keeps both in funds and important.
