Whoever it is at the CIA that leaked the Russian hacker story to the Washington Post has suddenly gotten shy.
No one at CIA has any interest in appearing before the House Intelligence Committee with actual evidence of the claim that Russia meddled in the election. Evidence that would make them a secular humanist Demi-God in the Democrat party pantheon with all the commensurate reward.
Such a canonization means million dollar book deals (for books someone else writes for you), praise from every corner of the liberal media multiverse, endless interview opportunities or perhaps your own cable TV show, invites to Hollywood parties, a high-ranking make-work job in the Hillary administration (or perhaps a lucrative Clinton Foundation arranged mining deal in a third world toilet), a movie deal, on-demand sexual satisfaction from vapid liberal groupies, Democrat sex-island getaways, a life of worship and luxury. You don’t even have to be telling the truth, they’ll adore you for making stuff up. Just ask lying Joe Wilson and CIA desk jockey Valerie Plame.
And that has to be better than the pay and benefits plan at the CIA, right?
So why not come forward and testify?
The only reason not to embrace such spoils is if you not only can’t prove a word of it but can’t even make the lie convincing. Or, maybe there was no leak from the CIA and WashPo just made it up. But that would be fake news, yes?
