I keep hearing "17 intelligence agencies" w/o once hearing who they are. Do we even have 17 intel agencies, even in our bloated government?

@MSgt George Cater Can anyone justify that many intelligence agencies? Would we save money with fewer agencies that were chartered gracefully share G-2 with one another?

James Clapper: We ‘don’t have good insight’ into alleged Russian hacking

As recently as Nov. 17, James Clapper, the nation’s top intelligence officer, told Congress his agencies “don’t have good insight” into a direct link between WikiLeaks and the emails supposedly hacked by a Russian operation from Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

These guys could probably put Assange and all the rest out of business for awhile. They've done things similar in the past. Just not sure how wise it would be to contact them if anyone even knows how, because even opening up a dialogue with them might have consequences. They mostly pick their own battles besides.

Why does DOD have so many intelligence agencies? And why do the Depts of State, Energy, and Treasury need their own intelligence agencies?

None of them say "hacked the election" all say "attempted to influence".
