WASHINGTON — American spy and law enforcement agencies were united in the belief, in the weeks before the presidential election, that the Russian government had deployed computer hackers to sow chaos during the campaign. But they had conflicting views about the specific goals of the subterfuge.
Last week, Central Intelligence Agency officials presented lawmakers with a stunning new judgment that upended the debate: Russia, they said, had intervened with the primary aim of helping make Donald J. Trump president.
The C.I.A.’s conclusion does not appear to be the product of specific new intelligence obtained since the election, several American officials, including some who had read the agency’s briefing, said on Sunday. Rather, it was an analysis of what many believe is overwhelming circumstantial evidence — evidence that others feel does not support firm judgments — that the Russians put a thumb on the scale for Mr. Trump, and got their desired outcome.
It is unclear why the C.I.A. did not produce this formal assessment before the election, although several officials said that parts of it had been made available to President Obama in the presidential daily briefing in the weeks before the vote. But the conclusion that Moscow ran an operation to help install the next president is one of the most consequential analyses by American spy agencies in years.

Total FAKE news with not a centilla of evidence.
Sarah will keep an eye on the Russians.....
It’s fake since the CIA isn’t even confirming the rumor much less laying out some evidence. The CIA has never been a nexus of Truth.
What evidence?
Where?
When?
Ok let’s see some of that there swell if evidence...
...from her front porch.
I love it.

Why doesn’t anyone in the Marx Stream Media publish some of this evidence?
Just for the sake of argument the russian hacking story is true, all the evidence suggests that the crimes revealed in the various emails to date far exceed the criminality of internet snooping. Hill et al tried to double down on Barry’s communist coup. Hacked emails is like spitting on the sidewalk.
They misspelled swill.

Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, who is a close associate of Assange, called the CIA claims “bullshit”, adding: “They are absolutely making it up.”
“I know who leaked them,” Murray said. “I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things.
The left are trying to implicate Trump in working with a foreign country to affect the election. That would be a serious crime.
They have their goal to postpone the Inauguration so that an investigation to clear up these serious charges can be done.
That is their current strategy to keep Trump out.
As far as this piffle. What does the Muslim CIA chief say? Did he go on record?
And why would these same people who didn’t believe the CIA about Iraq and WMD now believe them?
So what did Russia do? Make sure we all got ballots containg both Clintons and Trumps names on them? Maybe they didn’t didn’t fudge the voting machines quite enough figuring Trump would loose by a greater margin? Soros pissed because he paid for a rigged election he didn’t get?
WELL , IF YOU WERE PERMIT ME, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! I don’t care where the TRUTH comes from!!!We now know by unrefuted evidence that the communist left colluded with the MEDIA— the NYT and WAPO, in particular. What i want from them is contrition— not obfuscation! Not shameless attempted diversion to another subject. screw them.
But at least we know Hillary’s emails were never hacked.
However, the FBI disagrees. This is all a political Obama dirty trick.
This is a Coup attempt. make no mistake about it.
Let’s just wade into the fever swamp for a minute and present that it’s true, that Russians somehow intervened despite voting machines and vote tallying processes that are not accessible via internet.
So, is this a new thing? I suspect it isn’t. Security has been far worse in the not too distant past. Leftists of the world have been overt in their desire for leftist Presidents in the past, also (ahem, cough, cough, George Soros).
Funny how it’s suddenly become some sort of bad thing, when they’ve never had a problem with it before.
