A quick thought on the fake news story about Russia getting Trump elected. I must ask; what is the source?

Well, the Washington Post quoted an anonymous source quoting an anonymous source claiming to have seen a classified report, one written BEFORE the election. Funny; no new intel, no solid evidence presented, not even an accuser.

It's coming from the CIA, we are being told, and the CIA is jealous of it's independence and intelligence integrity.

Really?

Anybody remember the Valerie Plame affair?

Valerie Plame was a CIA analyst (not active field agent) who managed to promote a fact finding mission for her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson. The whole thing was a setup, with Wilson sitting in the lobby of a hotel in Niger "drinking sweet tea" and talking to whosoever wandered in. As it turns out, the assignment - ostensibly to learn if Iraq was trying to purchase yellowcake uranium in Africa - was wrangled for Wilson by his wife, who was so careful about her covert status she appeared in a "babes of the CIA" calendar.

When George W. Bush stated in his 2003 State of the Union report that Iraq had recently attempted to purchase yellowcake uranium Wilson went public with an op ed in the New York Times attacking Bush and claiming to have ended the discussion.

This led Robert Novak to accidentally divulge Plame's name and leading to a firestorm. His source was Scooter Libby, who would eventually be convicted of a process crime. He turned out to be innocent of the "outing" as the source of the leak was Richard Armitage at the State Department. And this "covert agent" was listed in Who's Who as a CIA agent under her real name.

What does this have to do with CIA and politics?

Discover the Networks points out:

"The left falsely depicted Libby's conviction as a discrediting of America's pre-war intelligence, and used the judgment against him to promote the notion that "Bush lied, people died." But in fact the President had not lied about Saddam's attempt to purchase uranium from Niger. The Nigerian government believed that it had told Wilson that there was substance to the charges about yellowcake uranium. As The Washington Post editorialized, "Wilson was the one guilty of twisting the truth” in saying he had debunked the Niger story."

End quote.

Sooo...

The CIA commissioned the husband of one of their agents, someone unqualified for such an assignment, to investigate critical information that led to war. They never contradicted him, even though they had plenty of information to at least correct the record.

Look, the CIA KNEW Wilson was a Bush hater, and sent him anyway. They had to know this was going to be used as fodder against the President and his policies. In short, this was a black op. And Patrick Fitzgerald (Current FBI director James Comey's buddy) knew who the leak was but went after Libby anyway. Libby was on Dick Chaney's staff.

The Plame affair stinks to high heaven, and so does this Russian business.

(By the way, James Comey was the guy who started the Plamegate investigations. According to the liberal Mother Jones:

"Comey was confirmed in early December. Schumer called with congratulations and told him that he had a month. That is, a month to do the right thing on the CIA leak case.

Comey took less than a month"

end

Comey has always been a double dealing insider)

There are plenty of other examples of the CIA interfering with the American political system. For example, the CIA was engaged in spying on Congress under Obama, and there was little concern.

There are other examples, and the idea the CIA is pure as the wind drive snow is only being promoted because it helps the left.
