Apparently the CIA has gotten both the FBI and the DNI in their corner now on Russian intervention to help sway the election toward Trump:
WASHINGTON POST – FBI Director James B. Comey and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. have backed 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 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.
Trump has consistently dismissed the intelligence community’s findings about Russian hacking.
The CIA and FBI declined to comment.
This conflicts with what Assange told Hannity, that he did not get the Podesta hacked emails from Russia:
At the end of the day, it wasn’t Podesta emails from Russia or whoever that got Trump elected. It was simply the fact that Hillary was a worse candidate than Trump.
Look, another country trying to influence our elections is an issue and should be an issue. But with the elector vote coming soon, I can’t help but think this is being played up with the purpose of delegitimizing Trump and making a liberal wet dream come true in having the electors vote against Trump and for Hillary.
So look who’s trying to influence our election now…
