CIA's claim that Russia hacked to hand Trump victory is REJECTED by Director of National Intelligence in blow to Democrats' attack on president-elect
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence oversees the 17 agencies in the U.S. intelligence community - including the CIA and FBI
Three ODNI sources have said the agency does not back the CIA assessment that Russia conducted hacks to help Donald Trump win the presidency
Blow to CIA theory Democrats loved to tout comes on top of FBI not supporting the conclusion either
Democrats are trying to delegitimize Trump's victory with claims he benefited from hacking by Putin Clinton's campaign chairman came back from the dead on Monday to bolster the claims
Trump has called idea that Russia hacked for his benefit 'ridiculous' and his team compared it to CIA belief Iraq had weapons of mass destruction he overseers of the U.S. intelligence community have not embraced a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks were aimed at helping Republican President-elect Donald Trump win the 2016 election, three American officials said on Monday.
While the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) does not dispute the CIA's analysis of Russian hacking operations, it has not endorsed their assessment because of a lack of conclusive evidence that Moscow intended to boost Trump over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, said the officials, who declined to be named.
The position of the ODNI, which oversees the 17 agency-strong U.S. intelligence community, could give Trump fresh ammunition to dispute the CIA assessment, which he rejected as 'ridiculous' in weekend remarks, and press his assertion that no evidence implicates Russia in the cyber attacks.
Trump's rejection of the CIA's judgment marks the latest in a string of disputes over Russia's international conduct

It appears Podesta is going to go with China next as the boogeyman hacker. LOL! Whatever works I guess.
The CIA’s own report said they did not have “specific intelligence” showing Kremlin officials directed the activity. So, once again, in Obama’s America (remember, the CIA chief is an Obama appointee), allegations and baseless rumors are treated as fact!
CIA's claim that Russia hacked to hand Trump victory is REJECTED by Director of National Intelligence in blow to Hillary and the media's attack on president-elect - FIXED
Let’s blame Lichtenstein. How do we know they weren’t behind this evil plan to keep Hillary out of the White House?
Goodness...this is priceless, another spit in liberal’s face. They all need put tint foil hats, and run into their bomb shelters, and never come out...
Under Carly, I hope to see the CIA take a back seat to some of the other agencies.
The ODNI is supposed to coordinate among those 17 different agencies
Sounds like they made this assessment by a super secret show of hands
yep, a disinformation campaign by the left.
I think the CIA has demonstrated it is useless, politically corrupt and incompetent and should be shut down.
Lichtenstein probably contributed half its GDP to the Clinton Foundation
If hillary loses the WH who will use that money to plant trees in Vietnam to save the Haitians?
Whoever did the hacking provided a valuable service to American voters by exposing the corrupt, sleazebag democRats for the crooks they are. They did the work our allegedly “free” press refused to do...
It’s a strange turn when we get our news from leakers and our press spends its time investigating the leakers
Question is, how many of the rank and file CIA operatives believed this tale??
My guess is that this all came from the executive branch (Brennan) of the CIA...
The rank and file, because of the nature of their work, could NOT comment on this...
I hope to see the executive section of the CIA cleared out and then the rank and file can get back to work...
Wonder what page this story will be on in the NYT and WAPO?
So who the libs and their msm will blame next? Finland? France? Aliens? Nazi’s from the moon or Antartica?
Even the WH can’t keep up
Here the hapless Josh Earnest says China .... Uhhh.... uhhh .. Russia did it

The CIA is rife with anti-American globalists, and Trump knows it. He has to drain this swamp too. Trump knows the Russian intel claims are fabrications.
