Ugxeke izinhlangano zezindaba ngokusakaza ngobuvila okushiwo yizikhulu zezobunhloli zaseMelika njengamaqiniso aqinisekisiwe.

Futhi lapho izinhloko zezobunhloli zibanikeza leso sifinyezo sezinsolo, esikhundleni sokuhlasela i-CIA ngokwenza lokho, okuyinto engangingayenza, "babike njengeqiniso. UHersh uthe izinhlangano eziningi zezindaba ziphuthelwe yingxenye ebalulekile yendaba: "izinga i-White House eyayihamba ngalo futhi ivumela i-ejensi ukuthi iphumele obala ngalolu cwaningo."
UHersh uthe imithombo yezindaba eminingi yehlulekile ukunikeza umongo ngesikhathi ibika ngokuhlolwa kwezobunhloli okwenziwa emphakathini ezinsukwini ezinciphayo zokuphatha kuka-Obama okwakuthiwa kuzoqeda ukungabaza kokuthi uMongameli waseRussia uVladimir Putin uyalele ukugetshengwa kwe-DNC kanye nomphathi womkhankaso kaClinton uJohn.

UHersh uveze ukuthi lo mbiko ugcwele ukugomela kanye nobufakazi obuncane.
"Yizinto zekamu eliphezulu," uHersh etshela i-Intercept. “Kusho ukuthini ukuhlola? Akuyona a isilinganiso sobunhloli kazwelonke. Ukube ubunesilinganiso sangempela, ubungaba nokuphikisana okuhlanu noma okuyisithupha. Ngesinye isikhathi bathi izinhlangano ezingu-17 zavumelana zonke. Hawu ngempela? I-Coast Guard kanye ne-Air Force - bonke bavumelana ngakho? Futhi kwakucasula futhi akekho owenza leyo ndaba. Ukuhlola kuwumbono nje. Ukube bebenalo iqiniso, bebezokunika lona. Ukuhlola yilokho nje. Kuyinkolelo. Futhi sebekwenze izikhathi eziningi.”

Kuzomenza abe namantongomane - kuzongenza ngibe namantongomane. Mhlawumbe akunzima kangako ukumenza abe nesibindi.” UHersh uthe ukube ubekhuluma ngale ndaba, “Bengizomenza [uJohn] Brennan abe yinyoni. I-buffoon egayayo ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule. Kunalokho, yonke into ibikwa ngokungathi sína.”
