They're just passing it along. "We heard this from an unnamed Republican source who got it from a British ex-spy that they hired who got it from . . . well, who knows?" They're not saying that they've verified it. They're just passing it along . . . as a security concern. And the media's eating it up with a spoon. A perfect non-news story presented in a way that makes no sense. It's like WMDs or the Clinton emails. Could be something that might mean something . . . but then, again. Now let's hear what Paid Flunky No. 1 says he feels about it, and we'll give equal time to Paid Flunky No. 2. Then, "Here's the results of a pointless unscientific survey we just did to see how you feel about about." .

These guys are past masters of dirty tricks. Ken Hiebert replies: Whatever differences Trump has with the CIA, he is basically in harmony with their goal of manifesting US power around the world. But let's imagine that he actually intended to curb the CIA. In that instance, he would have no choice but to "mess with the CIA." In which case, we would need to go beyond the observation that the CIA can do him much harm and think of how we might take advantage of such a dispute to further our own political goals re the CIA. I cannot claim to know who is lying and who is truthful in this dispute. I do think the CIA would be taking a big risk if it's just making up this story. Sooner or later, the truth will out. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
