Official: FBI Now Backs CIA Conclusion on Russian Hacking Motive
ABC News via AP ^ | 12/16/2016

Posted on 12/16/2016 12:23:13 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The FBI is supporting the CIA's conclusion that Russia interfered in the presidential election with the goal of supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump.

In a message sent to employees, CIA Director John Brennan said he had spoken with FBI Director James Comey and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.

Brennan said in the message that "there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election."

A U.S. official who had seen the unclassified message from Brennan confirmed it to The Associated Press on Friday.

President Barack Obama is promising that the U.S. will retaliate against Russia for its suspected meddling in America's election process, an accusation the Kremlin has vehemently denied.

Enough of this. If these bastards want a shooting war, which it sure as hell seems that they do, then it is WAY past time to give them one. Please count me in the fight.

Looks like the FBI decided Trump might clean house there as well as at the CIA so they're on this bandwagon in hopes of having Congress Critters protect them from having the leftist scum who serve the democrat party rather than We The People tossed out on their ear.

This whole meme is more about setting up defenses for the media and bureaucrats than it is about altering the election results or even about delegitimizing Trump. They're looking at the possibility of losing their comfortable gigs and doing the only thing they can think of that will get Congress in their corner when the cleanup begins.

I say that because even the democrat money folks don't believe this crap but there are plenty of Congress Critters who seem to be going along with it.

So the source for the FBI’s alleged position is political hack John Brennan. Interesting that Brennan sends unclassified messages confirming classified information - how about declassifying their actual conclusion and giving us a meaningful description of what the supporting evidence is? How about also telling us which pieces of truthful but harmful information about Mrs. Clinton should have been withheld from the American voters?

The electoral college meets on Monday and this is the the establishment’s Hail Mary to stop Trump. Why should anyone be shocked about this? The CIA and FBI have been politicized by the left for decades.

This is a lie. It is also hearsay (what the liar Brennan says Comey told him). Comey in fact has said the opposite.

AP lies. AP is fake news.

Remember that hacking is covert illegal access to info systems data to change that data and thus an impact a result. Leaking is making private info public which is what happened to Podesta and the DNC.

So, according to 0bama and his minions Putin leaked data proving that Hillary and the media worked together on media coverage and debate questions.

Doesn’t this make Putin a whistleblower?

So now they are mad about the Wikileaks instead of the crimes that were committed in the emails.

Assange and others have said the sources are from Sanders supporters.

So here is Hillary, the DNC and Obama b*tching about the election was stolen after they stole it from Sanders. The irony!

So now ABC says, that AP says, that Brennan is quoted as saying, that he, Clapper and Comey have a strong consensus in the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election?

No thanks.

I'll wait until I hear it directly from Clapper and Comey, I'll wait until all three brief Congress, and I'll wait for the specifics of the so-called interference.

Fake new SOP.

1 source, quoting “unnamed sources being endlessly repeated.

Still waiting for ANY evidence. NOT Leftist pretending to be journalists claiming to have “sources in the US Intellegence Community”. EVIDNCE, ON THE RECORD SOURCES.

ON THE RECORD sources or it is just anoher lie.

Brennan’s a hack himself. I’m sure he gave the other two an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Putin is behind all of this I am certain. Putin caused Hillary to put an illegal server in her basement. Putin caused Hillary to have pneumonia and run a low energy campaign. Putin caused Hillary to not campaign in key Democrat stronghold states. Putin caused her heavy drinking and quirky behavior. Putin caused all of the newspapers to bash Trump daily so that reverse psychology would kick in and cause voters to be wary of Crooked Hillary. Putin is all powerful because he did all of this.

“In a message sent to employees, CIA Director John Brennan said he had spoken with FBI Director James Comey and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.”

So Brennan of the CIA, gets to speak for the FBI now? And that is how they claim the FBI is with them?

Brennan, Comey and Clapper = the new Three Stooges. They will do anything to distract public opinion away from Hillary’s emails.

James Comey told Trump personally just last week that the Russian's didn't have anything to do with it.

I guess we will find out after January 20th.

I believe Assange that it was an inside informer that spilled the beans. Anyway, whomever it was did us a great service in revealing the truth about all the corruption.

Shifting and shifty opinions and conclusions hashed out over a slice of hot pizza.

The FBI and CIA must have run this like the office football pool.

Not just unbelievable ....

The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.
