I've taken this for granted since the beginning... It seems incredibly suspect that such a powerful intelligence apparatus could not have known about such a wide spread attack.

Yeah i remember listening to a podcast about it.

No hard, direct evidence but overwhelming circumstantial

Egypt warned them months ahead.

US intelligence confirmed within a week that Egypt had warned them repeatedly, and again a few days before the attack. So even if they missed it themselves(which is highly unlikely), they at a very minimum ignored the warnings.

And when the PM quickly called that "fake news", it should have been a pretty strong indication for most people.
