Five Problems With U.S. Intel Agencies’ Report On Russian ‘Interference’
breitbart ^ | AARON KLEIN

Posted on 07/05/2017 4:02:22 PM PDT by davikkm

In recent days, the New York Times and the Associated Press clarified that three major U.S. intelligence agencies – and not 17, as the news agencies repeatedly reported – assessed that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. While the U.S. Intelligence Community is indeed made up of 17 agencies, the actual January 6, 2017 U.S. Intelligence Community report alleging Russia interference was the product of only three – the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency.

In its clarification, the Times wrote that the Russia interference conclusion was drawn by “four intelligence agencies” – including James Clapper’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which issued the January 6 report although its conclusions were not included in the report itself.

At the time of the assessment, the FBI was led by James Comey, who was fired following controversy over his handling of Hillary Clinton’s email probe, and the CIA was headed by Barack Obama appointee John Brennan.

Below are five significant issues with the official assessment as compiled by the CIA, FBI and NSA (and not 17 agencies) regarding alleged Russia interference.

No real agreement on intelligence basically means the data was interpreted with a Democratic party lense to mean what they say it means.

How many times did we hear that 17 intelligence agencies were saying the Russians hacked the election?

Over and over again I would say back to the TV, show me.

What has been shown is flimsy to non-existent.

Martha Radditz just lied again on ABC news saying “17” US intelligence agencies agreed that Russia tried to interfere with 2016.
Fake News. Intentional fake news.

These hacks happily *read* the fake news, but are ignore the actual real news.

Who doesn’t know by now that number 17 shrunk to 4?

It was fake. It was nothing less than our intelligence community interfering in America’s election exactly as they have done for decades elsewhere. They brought the circus home. They are no longer subordinate to civilian control and see themselves as a policy making branch of government; to the point they believe they should have final approval or control over who is elected president.

It is truly treason in the full sense of the word.

Wasn't it these same DEEP STATE intelligence agencies that were manipulating data to falsely show the war on ISIS was going better than it actually was in order to appease their boss, King Muzzie 0dumba?

Who believes the Deep State Intelligence Agencies? I DON'T.

The bullsh1t part is 14 OTHER intelligence agencies went along with it and none of them refuted the charge that they were included.

All of these other agency heads need to be sh1t-canned!

I was in Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Air Force Electronic Security Command (ESC), Later Air Force Intelligence Command (AFIC). These agencies are military units and are supposed to be NON-political. Fire both of the Generals in charge!!!

They went to a lot of trouble to cover up the fact that DNC insiders and their Pakistani geek squad and Huma’s husband all were digging around in their correspondence and spilling it to the media.

Meanwhile Obama’s spooks were surveilling Trump, and DNC operatives were signing up illegal voters both dead and living by the millions, and DNC election officials were over-counting votes by 500% in key districts.

Do you remember that, a couple of months before the election, several dozen intel analysts resigned because their bosses were re-writing their reports to tell the White House what it wanted to hear about the Syrian war...

Great article.

Show to anyone parroting the Trump/Russia BS.

There is no "there" there.

This is why Trump will not expand on, or elevateb this stupid theme that Russia “meddled” with Hillary’s election.

If Russia meddled, at all, (and there is virtually *no hard evidence* that they did) it was apparently no more than usual or is expected, and no any more effective.

Hillary was a pathetic candidate and a criminal. She did herself in with her unsecured email.

Over the last seven months, I heard a lot of ‘RAT politicians and their “media” toads say that all 17 of Obama’s “intelligence agencies” told them personally that the Russkis had “hacked” Clintoon’s coronation. I guess ALL of the ‘RAT politicians and their “media” toads were lying to the American people. What else is new?

Did anyone actually ask them?

I'm pretty sure that I've not seen nor heard of any of those agency heads being asked to testify under oath. Maybe, they're just waiting until they're under oath, so that they're not seen as leakers. I said "maybe".

6. Pivotal to this story is that the Russians gave Wikileaks the DNC/Podesta emails, but Wikileaks founder Julian Assuage, love him or hate him, he has never lied and has denied this. Clapper and his crew is another story, however.

7. None of the intel agencies ever actually examined the DNC server, but a DNC connected security firm Crowd Strike did.

8. There is a good chance Russia DID try to influence the election but they did so to help HILLARY get elected, not Trump.

The people whom you have evidence of illegality on are the ones that you TRY to get elected. For example, China-Clinton. The Trump-Russian narrative doesn’t support this.

None of the deleted or damaging Hillary emails besides DNC or Podesta ones have surfaced suggesting people that have them like the FBI or enemies want to leverage them.

Didn’t she delete over 30,000 of them? I am going out on a limb her but I think Russia HAS these deleted emails. If they were trying to damage her, why didn’t they leak them?

But think of other Russian interests.

They would like us to remove tactical nukes from Europe.

They would like us to let the military deteriorate.

They would like us to NOT develop our energy resources. A drop in oil price would have a massive impact on Russia economically.

They would not want us to build up our military intelligence.

They would not want us to develop our military technology.

They would not want us to be secure from terrorist attacks.

On each and every one of these issues, the candidate the Russians would NOT want to get elected would be Donald Trump.

I think most people who believe this story was falsified by a politicized intel community instinctively know this, but I think it is worthwhile to state it unequivocally.

Also, who do you think Russia thought would GET elected?

Almost all news including Fox thought Hillary had an 85% or higher chance. Putin doesn’t have his own people taking polls so he relies on ours.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to get the goods on her and wait until she is elected before rocking the boat?

The muslim Brennan just wants us to keep from working together with Russia so that his fellow muzzles can keep the war going in Syria, and keep up their invasion of Europe, North America, etc.

PHOOEY to the Deep State and to Muhammadanism!!!!
