CIA director Pompeo met with conspiracy theorist at Trump's urging

Please tell me shit like this is NOT happening - It can't be. Ya think maybe the Director of the CIA has BETTER things to do?

(CNN) CIA Director Mike Pompeo recently met -- at the urging of President Donald Trump -- with one of the principal deniers of Russian interference in the US election, according to multiple intelligence sources.

Trump apparently made the highly unusual request that Pompeo meet with the former National Security Agency employee and look into a theory that the leak of Democratic Party emails last year was an inside job rather than a cyberattack by Russian hackers.

William Binney, the former NSA employee-turned-whistleblower who circulated the conspiracy theory, confirmed to CNN that he met with Pompeo for about an hour on October 24 -- despite the fact the intelligence community concluded early this year that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

The meeting was first reported by The Intercept.

The CIA responded to CNN's inquiry about the meeting by saying that Pompeo "stands by and has always stood by the January 2017 intelligence community assessment" that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.​

Trump buys Putin's denials that they interfered in the election. Trump doesn't buy that man made causes are contributing to climate change. Trump believes he lost the popular vote by 3,000,000 illegal MEXICAN votes. Why would this surprise you?

I'm just wondering how this compares to the FBI and then crooked Hillary / DNC colluding with the Russians by paying for a fake dossier, secretly leaking it to the corrupt media to to attack an opponent, and then use that same fake dossier to get a warrant to spy on an opponent and his campaign.
