Lawmakers fume over Agency refusal to brief House panel on RU hacking claims (Video)
2016-12-15
[FOX] Anger on Capitol Hill boiled over Wednesday night after the intelligence community’s alleged "intransigence" forced the cancellation of a House Intelligence Committee briefing on claims of Russian interference in the U.S. election.

"Somebody has the time to leak it to The Washington Post and The New York Times, but they don’t have the time to come to Congress," Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., a member of the committee, told Fox News' "The Kelly File." "It’s their job to come. They don’t have any choice. They have to come in, especially when they have created this."

Amid concerns about reports that conflict with details previously provided to the committee, Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., originally had requested a closed, classified briefing for members from the FBI, CIA, Office of the Director of National Intelligence and National Security Agency.

#4  If they were really pissed they'd be talking about a proposed 20% cut in their budget for next year. Then again, why bother with the meeting when you (CIA) have no evidence?

#3  As Glenn said, it is almost as if someone doesn't want their name and accountability attached to this.

#2  Yet as soon as the senior civil service management gets booted by Pompeio, watch the MSM horror and shock over the "catastrophic loss of highly skilled intelligence professionals".
If the Obama SES's are keeping the agencies from being responsive, now would be a good time to signal that. Jan 20th is coming idiots!
