A Lying Quartet
American Greatness ^ | September 25,2017 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 09/26/2017 5:55:38 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Rarely has an intelligence apparatus engaged in systematic lying—and chronic deceit about its lying—both during and even after its tenure. Yet the Obama Administration’s four top security and intelligence officials time and again engaged in untruth, as if peddling lies was part of their job descriptions.

So far none have been held accountable.

Those exemptions are likely because, in hubristic fashion, all four assumed their service to progressive noble agendas would justify any odious means felt necessary to achieve them.

In part their liberal credentials were seen as guarantees that the media either would ignore or excuse their dissimulation. And in part, untruth was innate to them as lifelong and now seasoned Washington bureaucrats. Their reasons to be in Washington were largely a quest for media exposure, government sinecures, revolving door profiteering, and maintaining a host of subordinate toadies at their service. A harsh assessment, perhaps—but lying to the American people earns them such disdain.

The deceptions of Comey, Brennan, and Clapper are perhaps far more disturbing than the partisan untruths of Susan Rice, a chronic political appointee who calibrated her national security fictions with Obama’s efforts to ensure reelection and later a presidential legacy.

I hereby go on record as being willing to donate $100 to buy a brick for the new Democrat prison.

In a just world we’d be building a public gallows in the middle of the Washington Mall, pay-per-view.

Why would anyone think they would ever be held accountable? Mr. Sessions is just a hologram.

Lying under oath is a crime, we should call it what it is, Perjury.

An intelligence apparatus which lies is untrustworthy, their entire organizations should be disbanded.
And no, national security would be harmed is an irrelevant argument: being untrustworthy undermines all information they provide [or withhold] and, as such, keeping them in-place would harm national security far more.

Given there's four perpetrators who have obviously coordinated their stories it's also Conspiracy.

Trump was right all along about everything. The govt is rotten to the core, infiltrated with Clinton and Obama crooks, like that maggot infested Corsican cheese. The DNC-GOP machine is a Rico outfit, and the media are their lick spittle handmaidens.

Four corrupted sycophants for a lawless reprobate demonic obama regime.

They had every expectation that with the managed MSM carrying the water, Hillary would assume her place on the Throne of America,

Every freedom minded American Citizen should be educated on exactly what these evil men are and what their profane role was.
