focus on tactical, operational, and strategic MILITARY FORCE threats in their area of expertise. Their focus is NOT on the of the “fake news/disinformation” of the type behind the “17 agencies....” balderdash.
These need not be freestanding.They need one administration and one cabinet officer.We are BROKE.Need to slim down on bureaucraps . NOW!!
You made my day! Thanks! ROFL.
The fact that she was aware there were 17 means that she was carefully crafting her obfuscation.
I have several opinions and guesses as to why.
4. Her donors are hopping mad that the candidate they thought was bought, paid for, and in their pocket, is now just a granny in Depends and completely out of the loop. No power to sell. She can’t deliver and she can’t give them a refund. She needs a plausible excuse.
3. Nothing is ever her fault. She needs someone to blame.
2, This was a pre-emptive strike so that she would have plausible deniability in the event that there is an investigation into election fraud. Since 99% of election fraud is perpetrated by democrats, she is attempting to misdirect responsibility from the democrats to the Russians.
And the #1 reason:
1. She, and many, many others, desperately need to distract attention from Pizzagate in order to avoid long jail sentences.
GOOD INFO.
Lots of doors to break into but then one could say it helps to compartmentalize
vigilance is needed and a throwing out of political correctness.
Put this in the same category as “97% of climate scientists”, as both use a phony “consensus” to get all their unquestioning bobble-head followers to nod-in agreement and instantly dismiss any contrary arguments, because ... but ... but ... THE CONSENSUS!
On the surface, the real oddball just outside of the DoD group is Coast Guard Intelligence. While on the surface it belongs in Homeland Security, it is also hand and glove with the U.S. Public Health Service, under HHS, especially the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
That is, before foreign ships can dock in US ports, they must be inspected both by the Coast Guard and by the USPHS, to insure no smuggled or prohibited cargo or weapons or communicable diseases.
Early on, the Public Health Service realized that foreign sailors didn’t care one whit about civilians inspecting them, and only paid attention to naval uniforms, which is why they, up to the Surgeon General, now wear the uniforms of commissioned officers sometimes.
So the Coast Guard has to ferry the doctors as well as carry out their own duties. Oh, and if the foreign ship has some nasty disease on it, the Coast Guard ship is tasked with preventing it from approaching the US until the all clear as given, implicit that the same rule applies to the CG ship if any of their personnel are taken down.
And in some cases, the Coast Guard is bundled with the Merchant Marine, which in time of war is under the Navy as auxiliaries, but in peacetime is either civilian or federally owned ships.
Of course, most of CG Intelligence is about drug interdiction, so lots of ties with the DEA under the Justice Department. Complicated, but it works.
