These ass-hats are putting people's lives and national security at risk over this nonsense. The next potential tipster is going to keep their mouth shut now because of this idiocy.
Remember when Matt Gaetz stormed a SCIF? His justification was that they were holding "secret impeachment hearings"?
And the reality was that it was a briefing on how we had agents from the CIA inside low level positions of the Ukrainian government working with the Government that were watching Russian moles that also had positions in the Ukrainian government? And that Russia had found out that it was happening but hadn't figured out who it was so they were launching all kinds of operations to try and get some information on who to kill? And this whole meeting was to figure out how best to help those agents before they got killed?
Fun times.
And what's even better, you haven't heard peep from Gaetz about his "brave" storming the SCIF since. Because he almost got a bunch of people fucking killed with his stunt, was told he almost got a bunch of people fucking killed, and all that "brave" shit disappeared like a fart in a hurricane. So...
It's not just this nonsense they're doing it over. They do it over all kinds of bullshit. And people like Gaetz do not vet shit and eat it up like it's the gospel. And nations like China, Russia, India, and what not know these fuckers will eat it up and feed it to them. They constantly bitch about "government conditioning" and other pyops bullshit, but they themselves are the major victims of it.
It's got to be a fucking uphill battle when you have a political party that's just eating foreign bullshit and calling domestic intelligence "weaponizing government". Our intelligence apparatus does not want these fuck wits handing our country over to someone else, but goddamn it, they keep having so little trust in the USA because, IDK, but all I can chalk it up to is that they are absolutely fucking morons. They just want "someone" to be wrong so they can stroke their massive ego dicks is the best I can figure out.
What's that mnemonic device for counterintelligence? MICE. There are four general things that will convince someone to betray their nation, "Money, Ideology, Compromising information, and Ego". And goddamn it, these fuckers get every single one of those tickled by the very fuckers that want to destroy this country. It has to be frustrating to see them time and time again sitting up there in the committee acting like some CIA agent that risked their lives trying to keep bad people out of our interests is fucking trying to destroy Donald Trump or some shit. Like, "MY DUDE. Bigger picture here Senator/Representative. Believe it or not, there's more to all of this shit than some megalomaniac asshat who was once President." Shocking!
