What do you want to bet?

I think subjective analysis is the better descriptor, but yes. That's the over-arching point. Intelligence is based in subjectivity and opinion. That gives a lot of leeway for those involved to act nefariously with plenty of cover if it's scrutinized in the future.

This is how you expand on a strawman in real time

Uhhh number 1 is false. They did not have evidence the Russians hacked the dnc servers or Hillarys emails.

That’s actually a solid question. I’m not sure they had any direct evidence on either at that time- just “intelligence assessments”. They certainly blamed them straight away.

I’m going to go back and research that one again.

Another interesting one is the theory that the MAL raid was an op to make sure Trump didn’t have a copy of the SVR intelligence on Hillary. Remember this report was of the highest classification and couldn’t even be digitized. Trump declassified it this on his last day in office, but the deep state ignored him and weeks later, were smashing his door in.

That's all this is, ultimately.

You were doing so well today. Don't go full retard.

It's not my spin. That is what they will use, and it will be effective. You can try to frame it however you want, but they get the leeway to do the same within their subjective opinions. It's the ultimate trump card in this scenario.

Exactly, they will use that defense, and yes, it would be effective… if they hadn’t altered intel, omitted key findings, and falsified documents.

that’s the point you keep ignoring! once you cross into manipulating evidence, it’s not just interpretation anymore. It’s intent. And no amount of spinning changes the fact that they got caught engineering a narrative, not analyzing one.

So sure, they’ll try the “subjective judgment” card. But when the record shows deliberate distortion, which is what was just released shows, m that card doesn’t play. It’s not a trump card…it’s a busted flush.

Every briefing, memo, etc. has to exclude some evidence based on the subjective whims of the author. Otherwise it would include infinite data/evidence. This editorial power is within the subjective opinions that form the intelligence analysis, strategy, etc.

Every report ever made includes "deliberate distortion" or else it would include all data ever in existence on earth.

Until Black Jesus, the head of intelligence in America (as a core executive function, no less) has a different opinion-based analysis, and wants a different strategy, you mean?
