CIA: Washington Post Report Linking Russian Government to Trump & Election Hacking Is “Outright Lie”
TruePundit ^ | Dec 12, 2016 | by admin

The Central Intelligence Agency is declaring the Washington Post’s much-hyped story linking the Russian government to hacking the presidential election to help Donald Trump an “outright lie,” according to CIA personnel with direct knowledge of the case.

The Washington Post, in a front-page splash on Friday, fingered the CIA for allegedly confirming the wild rumors of Russian hacking that were concocted and spread by Democratic lawmakers for months preceding the election and the weeks since the GOP win. The Washington Post’s story, however, contained no CIA sources and in fact, no credible U.S. intelligence agency sources whatsoever. Instead, it hinged on what unnamed lawmakers had supposedly been told by unidentified, supposed CIA-linked sources in “secret” briefings: That the CIA had developed proof the Russian state waged an orchestrated campaign to destabilize the U.S. election to benefit GOP-candidate Trump.

“It’s an outright lie,” a CIA analyst divulged to True Pundit. “There’s nothing definitive like that. There are leads from activity originating in Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Britain, France, China and Russia.”

Multiple CIA sources are now denouncing the Washington Post for knowingly reporting misleading national security intelligence. Intelligence insiders said no one in the Agency or in the FBI, who is running at least one parallel inquiry, has ruled out a possible internal leak within the Democratic National Committee from actor(s) inside the United States who funneled private DNC emails to Wikileaks.

It’s going to have to take more than an anonymous tip to an obscure website.

I overheard two men talking and the one man was a ‘journalist’ and he said that when a ‘news outlet’ reports something, they have 14 days to take it back and say it was a misprint or something to that affect...

So what I am going to do is go back on all the ‘re takes’ and count the days and see if this is true...

Apparently if they don’t do this in the 14 day period, they can be sued...interesting isn’t it...

“And now we have some Faking News from CNN”

Once again we see demonstrated, that whatever the Left accuses their opponent of, is what they are actually doing.

Now about those “Trump raping children” smears...
