Remember when Jim Acosta posted that video of him bodyslamming the Photoshopped Sean Spicer? That was rediculous. The stuff you are posting about is not rediculous.
I find it odd that the Coast Guard hasn’t registered their disagreement if they have reached other conclusions. Seems like they do, in fact, tacitly agree with the assessment.
Do you have any reason to believe that they do, in fact, disagree? If not, then the 17 intelligence agencies do seem to agree.
I am a Trump opposer and I think CNN has lost its standing as an objective source of hard news. I first felt this way when the Malaysian airliner was lost. Dave Barry said it best: “A huge airliner simply vanished, and to this day nobody has any idea what happened to it, despite literally thousands of hours of intensive speculation on CNN.” CNN has a few minutes of hard news each day punctuated by useless filler by bloviating experts, and mini-debates where they put people toe-to-toe whom they know are going to cause fireworks with their positional arguments with no useful or civil discussion. Since last year’s campaign they have gotten more and more belligerent towards him, and the sad thing is all you have to do to make Trump look like an idiot is report the facts with no further commentary. But they add snarky remarks, become dramatically indignant, and exaggerate minor points to comic effect.
There was a report issued at the level of oversight of all 17 agencies but the report said only that the FBI, NSA, and CIA reached this conclusion. You can’t draw any conclusion either way about what the Coast Guard or the other 13 agencies thinks; they may not have participated in any way nor have even seen the evidence.
As Mark Steyn said yesterday about CNN, when he compared the CNN stupidity about the Malaysian airliner vs. the CNN stupidity about “Booga! Collusion! Russia!” - at least there actually was an airliner.
It’s interesting how back then the media portrayed France as cowardly anti-American turncoats, but nowadays you’re supposed to weep for them when they suffer from terrorist attacks. Whatever helps the narrative.
Well, there’s Trump accusing other people of telling lies. That’s clearly doubling down coming from the Liar-in-Chief. But I doubt it’s what the OP meant.
