re: #205 Lupin

Don’t you think that your NSA and CIA know all this?

I suppose a slow but steady stream of leaks to the media will follow, if it hasn’t started already.

We may be in for some amazing fireworks.

I’m guessing they probably know a whole lot more than reporters do.

That said, the only way the intelligence services can inform the public is either

a) Congress, through the intelligence committees, or
b) Leaks

Congress seems to be quite uninterested (at least publicly) in what the intelligence services have to say. (That said, when the FBI had its recent meeting with Congress, it was reported that various Representatives were quite close-mouthed about it, including the firehose of Congressional leaks Jason Chaffetz.)
