As we know, the Russia Hoax was a central part of the campaign against Trump during Election 2016. Of course, that was in a sense just the beginning. The ruling class, nothing daunted by the 2016 fail, clung to the Russia Hoax and, as we saw in Twitter Files: Twitter Pressured By Intel Community--It's Always About The Russia Hoax
With every new revelation it would appear that we have been lied to and misled by the entirety of our government. I can’t remember a time when I’ve been quite so disheartened and seeing all of the blue smoke and mirrors going on for the House leadership, well, seems like the Keystone Cops go to Washington. And they wonder why we don’t trust anyone or anything in DC.
Makes Nero seem like Churchill, and at least he could play a fiddle, these guys are totally useless.
Yep, gonna be a very interesting year to say the least.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busibodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some time be satisfied; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own consciences."
"39.It all led to the situation described by @ShellenbergerMD two weeks ago, in which Twitter was paid $3,415,323, essentially for being an overwhelmed subcontractor."
Mark, of all things you have ever put up, I think one surprises me the most. Not that the government paid, but that it paid so little. Did they have something on someone?
I'll make a prediction. When Musk sells, and I think he eventually will have to sell, one the problems the IC will face is how to funnel money to Twitter. In all probability, no one can make it profitable, but they need to at least keep it solvent after the Left gets it back, because you don't want to go through another set of revelations like this.
And another thing. Paper can be lost, stolen, or simply be inherited by the wrong people. And yet they created this paper trail. (Shades of the text messages between Strzok and whatsherface, my memory is shorting out today) I guess you can be this careless spying on your fellow Americans but if you're trying to spy on the Russians or the Chinese this kind of stuff will get somebody killed.
I've come to the conclusion that the "Intel Community" is not really a community of equals but a pyramid. It's the CIA at the top, with the other agencies as mere foot soldiers. As the CIA is allegedly forbidden to conduct intel operations within the US, it relies on the FBI, NSA, DHS, State and the other domestic agencies who are empowered to act within the US to carry out its wishes. The CIA's role remains hidden.
Casting its outsized influence further afield, the CIA holds foreign intel operations like the UK's GCHQ in its thrall to do what the CIA cannot under the Constitution. Hence, the ultimate work-around.
I think the General Flynn hoax was a pre-emptive strike to prevent Flynn from taking over the CIA (or becoming the DNI) and cleaning out the Augean CIA stables.

Fr. Hunwicke quotes CSLewis today:

Senate Intel Committee (SSCI) Was up to their eyeballs in the Russia hoax to take out Trump.
