Glenn Greenwald: CIA and FBI probably intervened in election
CNN Politics ^ | March 11, 2017 | Alexandra King

Journalist and Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald said Saturday he believes both the CIA and FBI as well as Russia interfered in the US presidential election.

CNN's Michael Smerconish asked Greenwald whether he gave "any credence to the conspiracy theory" that the CIA, along with the Russians, had attempted to manipulate the results of the election, and the journalist replied simply that it "was probably both."

And he asserted the FBI had also played a part.

"I also think the FBI clearly sided with Donald Trump and did a lot of damaging leaks on purpose to hurt Hillary Clinton," he added, an apparent reference to the bureau's handling of the investigation into Clinton's email....

One man's opinion. No better than anybody else's.

And it's not clear what he meant. "A lot of damaging leaks," "an apparent reference" -- why didn't they ask him just exactly what he was talking about.

Ever notice, nobody mentions the Saudis and Gulf State morons? They give tens of millions to US politicians in every election.

All Russia is -accused of- is letting US voters know what Hillary says in private. And now looks like that was CIA umbrage program that can make a hack -look- Russian when it was us.

He is close but not with the FBI which did not leak anything really damaging and the Russians did not have a hand in this event.

Always remember that liberals hide the real issue. Hillary is a crook and so messed up she couldn’t even face the public on Election night. Thank God she wasn’t elected. God bless president Trump.

What a load of road apples. The FBI did what they could to protect Hillary and refused to pursue charges after overwhelming evidence she violated the law. The lickspittle at CNN neglect to mention the second investigation was because her emails were found on the computer of a sexual predator. The FBI, CIA, and the Russians ALL would have loved HIllary to win.

“”I also think the FBI clearly sided with Donald Trump and did a lot of damaging leaks on purpose to hurt Hillary Clinton,””

If I did what she clearly did, I would have had my door kicked in and would be facing decades in prison. The FBI played favorites WITH her.

Hillary’s actions in the last days leading up to the election indicate she was well aware that she could lose; having the enemedia feign shock is just to discredit Trump with the low-IQ Americans.

She had no message and no stamina; when leaks revealed that her handlers wanted to hide her for the last months leading up to the election (letting MSNBCNN run her campaign instead), it was very clear that she was a horrible candidate.

I interfered in the election. I made phone calls, rang door bells, and OMG voted.

Politics is a blood sport. Can we stop the narrative? Game Over. as the guy said in the original movie Longest Yard - HISTORY!

I speak to few libs, but any time someone brings up this fake issue I’m going to point out how many blacks and Hispanics voted for Trump in comparison to Romney. If Hillary had performed better with blacks in particular she’d be president; they rightfully viewed her with suspicion.

Glenn Greenwald: CIA and FBI probably intervened in election

This is just another narrative intended to de-legitimize President Donald Trump.

The Russians, the CIA, and the FBI notwithstanding, nobody tried harder to hand this election to Hilary than the Establishment and Media (but I repeat myself).

I've never seen such an unprecedented all-out effort to install a corrupt elitist into the White House, using a relentless campaign of character assassination and demonization, the likes of which the world has never seen.

The American people truly dodged a bullet when Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton. The Establishment totally misjudged the People. Fortunately, they believed their own propaganda, and as we all know, "pride cometh before the fall".

The elitists completely removed their masks, and were consequently exposed as the incorrigible, corrupt Enemy of the people.

The Emperor truly had no clothes, and the People will never be fooled again by those who claim to objectively report the "news" to us—those who will forever more be known as as purveyors of "fake news".

The system couldn't have been more rigged against Donald Trump, and yet he still was able to win the Presidency, thanks to our help.

And still the fight goes on against the "fake news". If there's any Justice in the world, the Democrats and their ilk will be relegated to minority status for decades to come...

that’s because the Saudis don’t pick sides they just bribe everyone.
