CIA Director Muddles Agency’s Efforts To Relay Russia-Related Intel To White House
But yeah, she oversaw the torture of all those people out of patriotisms. The same reason that she is blocking info about foreign meddling.
But yeah those people were going to get tortured anyway and the 2020 election is going to be stolen no matter what, there is no point for her to lose her job and pension.

We need no further proof that trumper is in fact an arm of and for Russia.
After President Rayguns said famously “tear down that wall”, trumper wants to be joined at the hip with Putin.
All this so he can build a tower in Moscow.
We have been truly sold out for a sack of shit.
I still have a problem believing trumper could be so degrading to the office of the President, now we have even more proof!
Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed such a thing was possible.
I must face the fact our President is a subversive towards america, it is irrefutable !

The move has reportedly led to a reduction in the amount of intel that ends up in front of President Donald Trump, who is infuriated that anyone is reporting on the Kremlin’s election interference.
FIFY.

What would the WH do with that info other than inform Putin that the CIA was aware of the activity? It’s not as if they would order that something be done.
I’m not trying to defend anything she does; I’m just pointing out that sending intel to the WH is a straight shot to calling Putin and saying “be a little more discreet, here.”

Either way the sad truth is that when you jump into the swamp you’ll be covered in the filth that is already there and in the case of the Rumpian swamp, that’s a whole lot of bull…No matter how hard you try to clean your hands, you are still dirty.

Quite a different thing from “stovepiping” half cooked analysis on WMD straight into Bush/ Cheneys office for use as propoganda.

Gee, it’s hard to believe a Trump appointee would willfully mess with data and intelligence gathering. Everyone knows that administration thrives on reality and science.

Did anyone actually expect that torture-loving hack to do anything else?

She can rationalize to herself that she’s doing it to protect the analysts from trump, while simultaneously demoralizing her staff and protecting her own job.

Any suggestion of a political motive for how she leads this agency is misguided.
Barrett, like all his superiors up the chain of command, including torturer Haspel and, of course, Unser Drumpfenfuhrer, are simply shameless liars. And obvious ones.

Is there any agency or department in our government that is not politically compromised?
I know the answer. The quicker everyone realizes that then there won’t be anymore surprised observers anymore.

Why not just send Trump the emails and cc Putin at the same time? That’s where all the information will end up, and it will free up more time for Trump to watch FOX news.

“Any suggestion of a political motive for how she leads this agency is misguided.”
Possibly.
Its also entirely possible that she is just a horrible human being, and horrible human beings make for really crappy managers.
Let’s torture her and see what her answers are, though. Just to be sure.

Well what do you expect from an incompetent torture-loving careerist Cheney acolyte who has a track record of supporting ineffective and sadistic intel-collection methods because they happen to be what her superiors prefer? This woman shouldn’t have been put in charge of a supply closet let alone the CIA. They’re all about power and politics, not outcomes, the worst and the dumbest.

Send it to Putin. That’s who needs it.
Hijacking the US democracy in plain sight and no one can do anything about it.
The people who wrote the US Constitution must be throwing up in their graves.

Never give anyone in this administration the benefit of the doubt. Ditto for the GOP in general.
You may be wrong occasionally, but odds are when they do do the right thing, it is because they are either misinformed, or it’s a mistake.

It’s always proof of an agency head’s diligence when information or actions that Trump doesn’t like suddenly slow down to a trickle or disappear.
