WASHINGTON (AP) -- In stories published April 6, June 2, June 26 and June 29, The Associated Press reported that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies have agreed that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump. That assessment was based on information collected by three agencies - the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency - and published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which represents all U.S. intelligence agencies. Not all 17 intelligence agencies were involved in reaching the assessment.

Lets see how AP handles it.

Hey, AP - How many...exactly?

Wonder if Joe S. will connect the dots.

Someone read the cold case file.

Quite obvious for anyone involved in intelligence collection. Funny how it took MONTHS after the lie was first told to put this BS to rest.

I laughed hysterically when this phrase was used during the campaign. A simple net search shows which organizations are part of the IC. Most of them would be ridiculously out of place monitoring Russia or elections.

MSM is afraid of lawsuits?

[nopardons]

Yes, yes they are! :-)

[Jim Robinson]

This story was made up by Hillary in collusion with democrat operatives embedded within the politicized & weaponized FBI, CIA and NSA and pushed by her treasonous allies in the media.

Yes, but they always want a 97% consensus.

[Slyfox]

If there wasn't a pizzagate there wouldn't a russia/fakenews.

Lotsa dots there.

[jazminerose]

They sure are. Financially, they’re all failing and one large judgement will be their undoing.

[TexasTransplant]

Is that what passes as a retraction these days?
Seems like legal cover to me

[blackdog]

17 government agencies refers to the three, but then accounts for the additional fourteen when considering their covert off the books sub-agencies they use as slush funding and performance bonus accounts.

[blackdog]

Seventeen agencies was the perfect number when focus group tested. Ten was too few. Twenty was too grand. Seventeen was just right.

Clarification = We lied because we’re obsessed with destroying Trump and we got caught.

[AdmSmith]

Yes, the Russian meddling was due to bad policies by Obama: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/national-security/obama-putin-election-hacking/
