Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House
The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system, according to officials briefed on the matter.
Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and others, including Hillary Clintons campaign chairman, according to U.S. officials. Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and hurt Clintons chances.
It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russias goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected, said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. Thats the consensus view.

(51,550 posts)He denied it, like he is denying it now. The only real news here is that McConnell blocked a bipartisan report that would have confirmed it to the American people. And Comey, that rat bastard, was in the room too when McConnell blocked the release. Comey's letter was the second of the one-two punch that knocked Hillary down and made the race stealable.

(51,550 posts)But Putin still damaged her with Wikileaks and Comey got her with that letter saying she was under criminal investigation. She wasn't able to get Comey and Putin on a debate stage. They did their dirty work behind her back.
