oh yeah the totally unbiased independent journalists uncover objective facts that not only conveniently furthers an agenda and corroborates a conspiracy theory collaterally, but is released right at the peak of its relevance, and intelligence agencies are somehow completely in the dark about this exclusive information.
interesting
US intelligence agencies are not God. If you think they know everything after the "slam dunk" WMD in Iraq and the loving "Russians hacking the election", you have a little too much trust in bureaucracy.
Also, you realize they reported this to the authorities before they put this out? That, and their previous work has gotten those whom they investigate fired. You want confirmation that what they're saying is true, there you have it.
