FBI Director James B. Comey and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. are in agreement with a CIA assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election in part to help Donald Trump win the presidency, according to U.S. officials.

Comey’s support for the CIA’s conclusion — and officials say that he never changed his position — suggests that the leaders of the three agencies are in agreement on Russian intentions, contrary to suggestions by some lawmakers that the FBI disagreed with the CIA.

“Earlier this week, I met separately with (Director) FBI James Comey and DNI Jim Clapper, and there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election,” CIA Director John Brennan said in a message to the agency’s workforce, according to U.S. officials who have seen the message.

“The three of us also agree that our organizations, along with others, need to focus on completing the thorough review of this issue that has been directed by President Obama and which is being led by the DNI,” Brennan’s message read.

Things just got interesting.

Now, if we could only see some evidence. Till then this is just rumors and innuendo... fake news in other words.

Americans voted for Trump, not Russians.

 

[TheComebackKid]

And LOL @ 'intervened'. Unless they rigged the votes or the counts... they did not intervene.

 

[oldshadow]

And yet the guy that leaked them said he didn't get them from the Russians.

Didn't you hear? It's Russia's fault that the Lakers are under .500 now.

So much for Team Trump's contention that the intelligence agencies disagree on the matter.

What's the proportional response for a foreign power interfering in your election process to aide a candidate sympathetic to their cause?

Obama just said the election was fair not 10 minutes ago.

Yup, more fake news.

This is getting dangerous. Either show the American people the evidence, or not. It's almost like they are purposely trying to divide the nation while destroying their own reputations.

Obama just said the election was fair not 10 minutes ago.

Obama said that the election was conducted in a fair manner, meaning that the actual mechanism of election was sound.

That was never in question. Stop obfuscating.

This is a perfect illustration of the lack of reasoning ability that causes confusion as to what is real news and what is fake.

Guys, two independent agencies came to the same conclusion. It's a real fucking story and a major problem.

Not just them, Clapper too.

I recall a thread yesterday with a video of some statements from Clapper that were met with much whooping and hollering from conservatives.

I'm curious how many of them are willing to take his assessment at face value now.

Many others, too.

If an anonymous 4Chan poster says something negative about someone they don't like, that is hard proof that it's true according to the same hacks who need a video and notarized confessions to believe anything negative about Putin.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

CIA & FBI in agreement with one
another? It takes a real piece of
shit to make that happen

 

[TheGreatA]

They ought to allow Assange his internet connection, so that we can find out his side of the story.

 

[Cmart]

Comey looking to set the FBI's credibility all the way back to zero, it seems.

You're talking about Assange right? The guy who runs a site that is supposed to be dedicated to government transparency but criticized the Panama Papers leak because it embarrassed Putin. The guy that had a show on RT. You mean that guy? Yeah, he's a Putin stooge. You're crazy if you believe anything he says when Russian interests are involved.
