Part 2

Then we examine the denial about Russian involvement in the US election that rejects the consensus of all US Intelligence Agencies, found both on the political right and the left and propagated by polar opposite news outlets such as Fox New and Breitbart and The Nation. Mark Lowenthal, President of the Intelligence and Security Academy who served as Assistant Director for Analysis and Production at the CIA and Vice Chairman for Evaluation on the National Intelligence Council, joins us. We will discuss the consternation among intelligence professionals that the head of the CIA at Trump’s urging, met with a former NSA official who advocates a conspiracy theory that a US Intelligence insider hacked the DNC not the Russians.
