Senate “oversight” committee sleuths come up short but committee leaders profess enduring faith that, sooner or later, they will get the goods on Russia and vindicate all the “assessing” that “handpicked analysts” performed. Assessing is what analysts do when they lack evidence but are “handpicked” to come up with desired conclusions and then move up the management ladder. All it will take is just one analyst with a conscience, who doesn’t think ii’s a good idea to risk war with Russia, to spill the beans on Clapper-Comey-and-Brennan-dom. There has to be at least one.
