6. Pompeo: 'I have every expectation' Russia will meddle in 2018 midterms

of course he does, i'm sure he's helping direct them....

CIA Director Mike Pompeo said he fully expects Russia to seek to interfere with the 2018 midterm elections, as it did in 2016.

"I have every expectation that they will continue to try and do that," Pompeo said when asked during an interview with the BBC on Monday whether he anticipates a Russian influence campaign later this year.

He added: “But I am confident that America will be able to have a free and fair election — that we’ll push back in a way that is sufficiently robust that the impact they have on our election won’t be great.”

Pompeo and other intelligence officials have acknowledged attempts by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin to influence the 2016 presidential campaign, despite rebuttals from the White House. President Donald Trump has called reports of attempts by Russia to interfere with the campaign "fake news" and the federal and congressional probes into potential ties to the Trump campaign a "witch hunt."
