House Democrat Joins Pelosi in Accusing CIA of Misleading, Lying to Congress
Right.
Today Rep. Silvestre Reyes, basically called out the CIA, stating in a
letter to a republican colleague, that he agreed with speaker Nancy
Pelosi in that he believes the CIA has lied to congress. Specifically,
that he believes that the CIA has lied to him, therefore, he believes
speaker Pelosi's allegations against the CIA from earlier this spring
must be true.
Then...there are these pearls from his letter that he apparently sent
to Republican, Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich, where he was supposedly
expressing his concerns on the matter of the CIA's truthfulness to
congress to Rep Hoelstra.
<span style="font-style:italic;">"We all know there have been a
number of contentious issues that have been much publicized," said
Reyes, who indicated he wrote the letter in an attempt to curb GOP
efforts to target Pelosi.</span>
So he openly admits that the purpose of the letter is in actuality to
attempt to thwart GOP criticism of speaker Pelosi and her allegations
against the CIA, if which she is yet to substantiate.
And then there is this....
<span style="font-style:italic;">"Let's leave for the moment the
politics out of it," Reyes said. "Our national security is about the
most serious thing we deal with here on Capitol Hill. And it shouldn't
be politicized."</span>
On that point you are right Rep. Reyes. Our national security is about
the most important thing that congress can address and deal with and it
shouldn't be politicized. Therefore, for a US congressman who is the
chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, to call out the CIA on an
accusation of lying to congress and then to openly admit that he wrote
the letter for the seeming sole purpose of attempting to curb GOP
attacks on speaker Pelosi for her accusations?
Well that is unconscionable IMO.
Then to turn right around and attempt to contend that national security
isn't something to play around with, much less to use as a politicized
ploy? Yet to then admit that the purpose of what you are doing is in
fact what you are railing against?
Well I for one am completely amazed. I am completely amazed that a
moron like Rep. Reyes could be elected to the US House of
Representatives. I am amazed that a partisan hack of such idiocy and
contrived partisan thinking, could be given a chairmanship of one of
the most important congressional committees in congress. And lastly, I
am amazed that an individual such as Rep. Reyes can openly elect to
foist such a low brow ruse as this upon the American people and the
media? And having done so, no one seems to care or even be able to see
the obvious duplicity and partisan sculdugery afoot in this democrat
contrived ploy.
