Trump jeopardizes our intelligence asset and you say good. IT tells you Trumpers put loyalty to Trump before country. That is all you need to know about them and why this country is on the rocks.
CIA slams CNN's 'misguided' and 'simply false' reporting
President Trump, CIA, Fox News, The New York Times vs. CNN....
Quote:
The Central Intelligence Agency on Monday evening slammed what it called CNN's "misguided" and "simply false" reporting, after the cable channel's chief national security correspondent authored a hole-filled piece claiming that the CIA had pulled a high-level spy out of Russia because President Trump had "repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy."
"CNN's narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false," CIA Director for Public Affairs Brittany Bramell said in a statement.
Bramwell continued: "Misguided speculation that the President's handling of our nation's most sensitive intelligence — which he has access to each and every day — drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate."
The extraordinary CIA rebuke came as The New York Times published a bombshell piece late in the evening, which largely contradicted CNN's reporting. According to The Times, CIA officials "made the arduous decision in late 2016 to offer to extract the source from Russia" -- weeks before Trump even took office.
"Former intelligence officials said there was no public evidence that Mr. Trump directly endangered the source, and other current American officials insisted that media scrutiny of the agency’s sources alone was the impetus for the extraction," the Times wrote.
The CIA is covering their tails here. They do not want the truth of what happened to come out, so they are trying to discredit CNN. If you have proof that what I just said is not true, post some FACTUAL information, not what the CIA is putting out there.
Do we forget who runs the CIA now ? It is simply a disinformation strategy.

Are The New York Times trying to cover the CIA's tail too?
Post some factual information? Is that what CNN did?
Normally I'd take the CIA's word of they come out and defend the POTUS -- why would they lie to cover for Trump?
That was before NOAA debacle. That's when I remembered the POTUS is actually simple enough to demand his underlings publicly come out and defend him, even when he's wrong or lying.
If you forced me to choose, I'm going 70/30 the CIA is lying. The CIA does not GAF if anyone is lying about what they're doing. That just makes their job easier. There's one reason that stands out for why they'd even give this report a second's notice.
