"over the judgement of many independent intelligence agencies?

17 "intelligence" agencies could not prevent 9-11. 17 "intelligence" agencies all said there were WMD's in Iraq. 17 "intelligence" agencies did not predict the fall of the old Soviet Union. Not exactly a group of people we should trust given their massive failures in intelligence.

All of your assertions are incorrect. Our intelligence agencies had information and alerted our government and administrations to these occurrences.

How much did that cost this country, in terms of lives and sources lost? She commits a criminal act and tries to deflect by accusing Trump of being Putin's butt buddy. I don't think even her supporters are dumb enough to buy that one.
The State dep reg server has been hacked. The OPM has been hacked. There's been hacking at the DOD - the White House. Etc. it happens.

Apparently pointing out how Conservatives rely on boogeymen & conspiracy theories to debunk facts from professional agencies has struck a nerve w/ the PTB since all of those posts were deleted...

Heck yeah they do. I hate getting the letters in the mail saying that our information could have been hacked to having the US government provide credit monitoring for husband, kids and myself.
