The Conservative Cave

Now they care what intelligence agencies think?

... supplying weapons to Ukraine?

In 2000, President Bill Clinton secretly switched to an unmarked plane for a trip to Pakistan. At least one member of the White House pool, a reporter covering the trip for USA Today, was briefed on the operation beforehand, according to The Washington Post.

On the secrecy around the maneuver in Turkey—with even journalists traveling with Trump left in the dark—McDonald said limiting the circle of those informed is standard practice, especially now. “We're in a time now where instantaneous news articles are going out—TikTok, Instagram, Facebook,” he said. “That doesn't help the plan that the Secret Service needs to implement.”

This May Be the Biggest Coverup In Our Nation's History

Nearly nine years after FBI officials opened a counterintelligence case asking the gravest question ever posed about an American president, The New York Times has returned to the scene with a story titled “How a Counterintelligence Inquiry Into Trump’s Russia Ties Was Derailed.”

The real scandal is not that the Times is finally putting Donald Trump’s Russia ties back on the front page after sleeping on this story for years. It is that, after years of behavior that should have set every counterintelligence alarm in Washington screaming, successive senior Justice Department officials managed to leave the central question unresolved: Was Trump a Russian asset, a useful idiot, a compromised opportunist, or something else entirely? Newly released FBI documents expose the institutional failure that allowed it to be buried without ever being answered.

The recently declassified FBI documents are extraordinary in spelling out what the abandoned investigation, strangely code-named “Oxferd Comma,” was supposed to answer. Opened on May 16, 2017, it sought to determine whether Trump was, “wittingly or unwittingly,” involved in activities for Russia and whether he was “directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with” the Russian Federation in a manner threatening American national security.

Think about this. Intelligence officials believed that there was at least the possibility that the president of the United States had acted or was acting as an agent of the Kremlin. This is not a hoax or a Democratic obsession. It is quite possibly a coverup of the biggest scandal in American history.

3. We gave up and de-funded our Cold War resolve when the Berlin Wall fell.
Capitalist triumph with Reagan's blessing. Our intelligence or Congress relaxed, plus the Peace Dividend disappeared. This was under GHWB. There were even articles about it in Business Week.
