The intelligence agencies aren’t the problem. It’s the political appointees that are mucking about. Ratcliffe is a political hack. He he basically no experience in the area and is there because of reasons like this, to use the government to help get Trump re-elected.The right is trying to make this some kind of big deal. It’s obvious that our intelligence agencies are being used as political tools. Lindsey Graham is trying to make it sound like the FBI was supposed to investigate this because they investigated Trump.Yes, because the right yammers on about nonsense quite frequently.I’m trying to figure out why anyone thinks this is relevant.Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday revealed a bombshell allegation that Hillary Clinton ordered “a campaign plan to stir up a scandal” by linking President Trump to Russia in 2016 — and that then-President Barack Obama knew about her possible role.

I'm sure you feel that way quite often.
So let’s first assume this is not Russian propaganda, which it probably is.
Who cares? Clinton wanted a campaign strategy to tie Trump to Russia? Hell, he was trying to do that himself by talking about his good relationship with Putin. Why is the Trump administration declassifying this irrelevant material if not for political purposes?
You complain about yammering, yet you don't seem to read your own posts...go figure.
The question is why would the FBI investigate it? It’s just a lot of outrage over nothing and no one here can put together a coherent explanation of why this matters.
I see, so back in the Obama days, the intelligence agencies were the ultimate experts. But now they're a political tools.
