The former senior CIA officer who helped oversee the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election says Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the White House are “lying” when they claim that it was an attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump.
Susan Miller, a retired CIA officer who helped lead the team that produced the report about Russia’s actions during the 2016 campaign, told NBC News it was based on credible information that showed Moscow sought to help Trump win the election, but that there was no sign of a conspiracy between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign.
“The director of national intelligence and the White House are lying, again,” Miller said. “We definitely had the intel to show with high probability that the specific goal of the Russians was to get Trump elected.”
How come she looks exactly like Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Black Panther 2?
There’s no monopoly on the government-intelligence-villain look
Why do they have to even bother quoting the “lying” in the headline?
i just want to splash tuls with hair dye and deny her her stupid little jean grey stripe
Russian asset and psycho cult member Gabbard lying?
Shocking.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that they got the intelligence through a channel they were already monitoring, and Obama decided to sit on it specifically to avoid the appearance of exactly this.
My recollection was that he tried to get it released in a bipartisan manner and McConnell spiked it
Obama asked permission from McConnell to release the info about Trump. He could have just done it, or even done it regardless, but he didn’t.
That, and the way he wasted the first six months of his first term trying to be bipartisan, are two of his biggest mistakes ever and radicals altered the course our country would take. I’ll genuinely never forgive him.
And he’s still the best president I’ve ever had the opportunity to vote for :(
Democrats are fucking brain dead idiots trying to play by the rules with a bunch of scumbag fascists
Can you imagine even one Republican asking a Democrat for such a thing?
Yeah, on the bipartisan thing, I remember driftglass on the Professional Left saying something like “Obama would extend a hand to the other side, and kept pulling back a bloody stump”, which is a very evocative image.
They lie broadly for any reason, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t be lying about this too.
Shocked face****
Of course Gabbard is lying. Her lips are moving.
…you voted these fuckers in…protest or non…
Good thing Gaza is ok then! /s
USA politics is corrupt to the core :D
No duh
It’s nice for somebody to finally use the word.
I mean when you have nothing else left in the cannon & have already turned over every piece of furniture in the hotel lobby, what’s wrong with some outright lying?
Black did gets elected, next time round GOP says “whatever it takes,” calls Putin.
