Many hammered Hillary about her treatment of classified information. Yet they demand access to info PROVING Putin/Russia hacked. WHAT?

So Hillary got pilloried for her supposedly inappropriate treatment of classified information yet these folks won't believe Russia/Putin hacked Dem info and leaked it to help PET win the election because that was Putin's goal all along UNLESS they get all the details/proof of evidence from the CIA/FBI. Isn't that ridiculous? They want it both ways. They insist. Seriously.

    Whether specific information should be classified or not has absolutely nothing to do with how we punish people who break the rules in handling information that is classified. Two entirely separate things.

    The CIA has spread domestic propaganda in the past. Their word is not good enough. They need to show the evidence (but they can't because they're lying). This post was edited by Zeitgeist at December 17, 2016 4:28 AM MST

    @T, the CIA can't show proof because they would have to reveal the methods they used, and the CIA is not about to give anyone their secrets.

    That's a transparent lie on their part. Intelligence gathering is intelligence gathering. Every foreign government knows how it's done. If they are reluctant to their reveal methods, it's because they're breaking U.S. law, or because their entire story is a lie.

    The Snowden leaks showed the intelligence agencies consider themselves above the law. Foreign agencies knew perfectly well mass surveillance was happening. Only the naive American people were surprised. This post was edited by Zeitgeist at December 17, 2016 5:18 AM MST
