> Former CIA chief James Woolsey appeared on Fox News to push the narrative of how dastardly 'dem Russkies' are in 
> their meddling with the sacred soul of America's democracy.
>
> Woolsey did his patriotic deep-state-duty and proclaimed the evils of "expansionist Russia" and dropped 'facts' like 
> "Russia has a larger cyber-army than its standing army," before he moved on to China and its existential threats.
>
> But then, beginning at around 4:30, the real debacle of the conversation begins as Ingraham asks Woolsey,
>
> "Have we ever tried to meddle in other countries' elections?"
>
> Hes responds, surprisingly frankly...
>
> "Oh probably... but it was for the good of the system..."
>
> To which Ingraham follows up...
>
> "We don't do that now though? We don't mess around in other people's elections?"
>
> Prompting this extraordinary sentence from a former CIA chief...
>
> "Well...hhhmmm, numm numm numm numm... only for a very good cause...in the interests of democracy"
>
> So just to clarify - yes, the CIA chief admitted that Democracy-spreading 'Murica meddled in the Democratic elections 
> of other nations "in the interests of democracy."
