Gell-Mann And The So Called Conclusions Of The Intelligence Community

17 Intellegence agencies all conluded...let me stop you right there champ:

The Myth That 17 Intelligence Agencies Were Involved In Russian Interference Analysis Will Not Die

Okay, maybe it was only 4:

the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.

The report itself is here, if you care to read the whole thing. The most important fact is on the first page and I will just spoil the surprise:

"6 January 2017"

Just in case you don't remember: Trump was inagurated on the 20th of Jan, 2017. So, two weeks before it was too late: Obama holdovers drop a stink-bomb on the president elect. And we believe this is solid, why?

First of all, they lied that 17 agencies all came this conclusion. Second, the Obama administration politicized pretty much every agency in the federal government:

The IRS: IRS Apologizes For Aggressive Scrutiny Of Conservative Groups

The FBI:
a stunning conclusion. And 63 percent of polled voters in a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll believe that the FBI withheld vital information from Congress about the Clinton and Russia collusion investigations.

The EPA:

Etc. It is like, we all know that every agency was doing the bidding of the administration and yet we somehow have full-faith in a document dumped on us by the outgoing gang?

I'm not buying it.

Added: JustOneMinute gets it perfectly:

Try to set aside the cognitive dissonance of watching the Blame America First crowd pose as uber-hawks. Try to ignore the years of "Bush lied, people died" morphing into "The CIA said it so it must be so.
