Intelligence Committee

Libertarian Institute, October 24, 2022 The Mirage of Washington Intelligence by Jim Bovard | “You can send a man to Congress but you can’t make him think,” quipped comedian Milton Berle in the 1950s. To update Berle for our times: You can spend $60 billion a year on intelligence agencies but you can’t make politicians […]

Adam Schiff by Nancy OhanianThis morning, Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) released a "dear colleague" letter explaining the next phase of Trump's impeachment, a letter that will help people better understand why Trump has seemingly gone insane on Twitter today-- over half a dozen crackpot tweets, with the chief executive no doubt running around the room, crying, showing things, screeching, shaking like a mad dog:

There are 15 senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee, 8 Republicans and 7 Democrats. The chairman is Richard Burr (R-NC) and the vice-chair is Mark Warner, a conservative from Virginia. Almost every member is an establishment conservative. These are the rest of the members:

The Republican strategy yesterday was basically to say there was no there there, to set the stage for Barr's investigation of Hillary Clinton and to bore the audience to death so that they would turn off the station and tune in something-- anything-- else. The worst was Gym Jordan. Yesterday the Wall Street Journal set the stage by re-publishing a year old piece by Ben Kesling and Kristina Peterson, Former Ohio State Wrestlers Say Rep.

"The Russian hoax is finally dead," Trump lied on Thursday in Grand Rapids.

Currently, Buddy Carter is in a fierce competition with Louie Gohmert to be recognized as the most clueless member of Congress. Yesterday he told NPR has "every State of the Union that the president has given has gotten better and better" and went on about how he's become one of the great presidents of all times. The "president" has given two of those addresses, but perhaps Carter has dreamed of being at dozens of them.

Yesterday Mark Warner (D-VA) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) penned an OpEd for USAToday sure to infuriate Trumpanzee if he gets wind of it over in Scotland, where he's being boo-ed everywhere he goes. Next stop is Helsinki, where he'll be meeting with the man who put him in the White House. As Donald Trump meets Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, we'll be meeting with allies in Washington to show Russia its plans to divide and attack us won't work.

The Republicans suddenly decided that the investigation into Putin-Gate is over and that Trump and Putin didn't do anything wrong. Pretty horrifying that these people are attempting a white-wash and putting Trump ahead of America.

Tuesday I was in a hospital waiting room with a TV tuned to CNN when Bannon waddled into a closed door congressional hearing. I noticed that "Sloppy Steve" was wearing a coat and tie. I didn't know he owned a tie. Maybe he borrowed one.
