It was the Electoral System.
It was James Comey.
It was Anthony Weiner.
It was a Russian hacker.
It was fake news.
It was all the racist Trump supporters.
She won the popular vote…

Land sharks.

I don’t accept the premise that the Russians would ever want Trump as POTUS, considering the eight year carte blanche they got from the Dems. Putin did whatever he wanted.

This is all a diversion. Mark my words, the Democrats are up to something, and it doesn’t have the American peoples best interests. My best guess? The Democrats will launch a massive terrorist attack against the US, and blame Trump for it.

hussein and his fake news outlets are going to try to invalidate the election.

I don't think so.

Did the hacker leave his outlook contact card with a certified letter from the Kremlin?

This one quote from the article says it all:

"The different conclusions reached by the two intelligence agencies is a reflection of their different institutional styles. CIA officials often use past behavior and analysis based on gathered intelligence to advise leaders, whereas the FBI comes from a more legalistic background which relies on hard evidence to make a case."

So is this saying that accusations of the type flung by Jill Stein or Truthers = having not a shred of hard evidence supporting them - would have the approval of the CIA but not the FBI?

Why is the CIA Operating within the United Staes?

It is my understanding that’s the FBI territory.

I thought there wer laws against this too?

This crap is one of the biggest PSYOPS programs that I’ve ever seen or read about-they are determined to destroy the Republic.

If they don’t want the truth released, then they ought to use secure systems, and avoid scheming on emails.

Sick and tired of all the lying scumbags trying to destroy this country, and grab power.

Hillary sold the USA out to Russia with the uranium deal, and also to China, and the Saudis. Doesn’t make sense that Russia or any of the other countries that she plays footsie with would do this. Another country might even use the info for blackmail.

Who is most likely to have released it? Insiders who are sick and tired of her selling out the country-that’s who.

Maybe the first thing to say about this is to ask the presstitutes why they object to the American people knowing the truth.

Yep, CIA jumping across lines to push the lie - I wonder if the CIA will now produce agents that were physically present with them Russian hackers.......who looked suspiciously like some of their own colleagues.

“As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks – there is a major difference between the two. And it should be said again and again, that if Hillary Clinton had not connived with the DNC to fix the primary schedule to disadvantage Bernie, if she had not received advance notice of live debate questions to use against Bernie, if she had not accepted massive donations to the Clinton foundation and family members in return for foreign policy influence, if she had not failed to distance herself from some very weird and troubling people, then none of this would have happened.”

What does the CIA do, besides politicize intel?
Very important stuff according to cia.gov press releases
Oddly enough, nothing on cyber concerns

Trump was right. The Democrats are trying to steal the election = wonder how long this was in the works.

From what I read on reddit - I am no expert - this is total BS. Why would the Russians, who were technical enough to hack the DNC - be so clumsy and leave break crumbs right back to themselves?

Even if it can be shown the hacking came from Russia, that in no way implicates the Russian government. It could really be some fat Russian on his mom's computer.

I am still unclear what exactly the CIA (and Democrats) are claiming. Are they claiming the embarrassing emails would not have been released if the Trump-Assange-Russia cabal did not get them out there? In which case, does it matter? What the emails revealed are what they revealed.

My understanding is they cannot “operate” as in the use of field agents. They can still gather intelligence, but any subsequent action is forwarded to domestic agencies like the FBI, ATF, ect..

But then didn't Assange and Russia do America a favor, by revealing the shenanigans of Hillary and the Democratic Party?

Or are they claiming the emails themselves are all made up?

So Trumps sin, if it were even true, is that he cooperated with a foreign government. But it didn't technically help him win the election. Hillary's bad behavior did that. Trump just pointed out the behavior.

Even IF it could be shown that the hacking "came from Russia" it would mean nothing. Any blackhat worth a tinker's damn could create zombies with Russian IP's, including US intelligence.

That's why this "finding" is crap, and they know it.

They told the truth about us, using our own words. Therefore, invalid.

Because Russians.

[In which case we ought to ask: aren't the revelations of Daniel Ellsberg -- and many others -- equally bogus? After all, intelligence leaked by a traitor must be discounted, right...?]
