This week on Talk World Radio: Why won't disproven Russiagate ever go away? Our guest Ray McGovern was an infantry/intelligence officer in the early Sixties, and became a CIA analyst. His duties eventually included chairing National Intelligence Estimates and preparing The President's Daily Brief. He conducted the one-on-one morning briefings of President Reagan's five most senior national security officials, including VP Bush, from 1981 to 1985. In retirement Ray co-founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) an attempt by intelligence veterans to hold former colleagues to account for "fixing" intelligence to "justify" wars like Iraq. His website is https://RayMcGovern.com.
