.@emptywheel: The lesson, one that has been consistent across issues ranging from torture and Russian interference in the election, is that congressional oversight of the intelligence community has become a farce.https://newrepublic.com/article/147470/congressional-oversight-intelligence-community-broken …

Marcy Wheeler, disappointingly, is on the Russiagate bandwagon.

What it means is that it was a comment, not from a Russian troll, but from one of many honest lefty idiots who, sadly, have been willing victims of Putin's propaganda just as much as the hardest-core Trump supporters on the right.

I have a few problems with that. 1-There's plenty of issues to take up with the Moscow regime apart from the so-called election meddling 2-Marcy's one of the most honest, deeply-read commenters I know of. It's a shitload of work & she has been at it for more than a decade.

This thread is a bit confusing by now; so just to go on record: I have as much respect for
@emptywheel and her blog as you do. My comment was in response to the person who chided her for "being on the Russiagate bandwagon". -
Fair enough. You're right, Drogan was the one.

Look closer I never mentioned anything about bandwagon.

Let Ray McGovern, whose opinion is worth more to me than that of anyone on this thread, including you, Marcy, explain it to you.https://consortiumnews.com/2018/03/07/progressive-journalists-jump-the-shark-on-russiagate/ …

Here's Ray McGovern's more recent piece. Keep in mind that as a CIA analyst he did his very best to prevent the illegal invasion of Russia based on what he knew to be cooked intelligence.https://consortiumnews.com/2018/03/14/intel-committee-rejects-basic-underpinning-of-russiagate/ …

"prevent an illegal invasion of Russia"? Somebody was plotting to INVADE RUSSIA??? Sorry, I thought you were an "honest lefty idiot". Now I'm beginning to think you are an actual Russian troll. Хули так поздно на работе? - Пиздуй домой, земляк.
