Leaders of three House panels on Friday said they had established a joint task force to probe whether the Obama administration pressured intelligence analysts to skew data to make the Islamic State and its allies seem weaker in their reports.

Reps. Ken Calvert, R-Calif., Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., and Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, will lead the investigation on behalf of the Armed Services and Intelligence committees and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.

The Pentagon inspector general's office also is investigating the allegations from analysts at U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla., and Defense Department officials have promised lawmakers a full accounting.

"In addition to looking into the specific allegations, the Joint Task Force will examine whether these allegations reflect systemic problems across the intelligence enterprise in CENTCOM or any other pertinent intelligence organizations," Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Rodney Freylinghuysen, R-N.J., said in a statement.

I am not holding my breath till they actually accomplish something...If we go by how long this Benghazi investigation is going it will be the year 2020 before we get any news about this investigation.

Sadly, not unique to the Obama Travesty-Administration, as any government MI analyst, lawyer, engineer, foreign area officer, Foreign Service officer, or any other subject-area expert tasked to write up a study or formal opinion on anything could tell you after they submit their own best and most-considered work, once it gets in the hands of the pointy-haired bosses and political appointees.
