Reuters ^ | 12/12/2016 | Mark Hosenball

The overseers of the U.S. intelligence community have not embraced a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks were aimed at helping Republican President-elect Donald Trump win the 2016 election, three American officials said on Monday.

While the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) does not dispute the CIA's analysis of Russian hacking operations, it has not endorsed their assessment because of a lack of conclusive evidence that Moscow intended to boost Trump over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, said the officials, who declined to be named.

Meanwhile Assange who actually leaked all the files, claims Russia was not involved at all, was not his source for any of it.

Doesn't mean anything. He wouldn't get it from "@russia.gov" if the Russians stole it and wanted to stir up some stuff. Assange can't prove attribution any better than the CIA can.

I’m not going to argue with you, because essentially he could just be lying too. Check this out. It was just brought to my attention.

And they had him killed for it.

Yeah, I saw that. Not terribly surprising. Intelligence analysis is far more reading tea leaves than most people know. Does it make sense that Russia would do it? Sure. Does that mean that they did do it? Nope.

Even if they did, I fail to see the issue. They showed us what the Democrats think of us when they’re not on camera. The Old Media should’ve been the ones to break that stuff to us, but instead of pursuing truth, they actively covered it up. I don’t care where I get the truth as long as it’s the truth.

I’m grateful to know how closely the Hillary campaign colluded with CNN and so many other news organizations to interfere with this election.

Trump train busted the blue wall.

Could have been Carlos Danger, he had copies on his laptop the whole time. I’d check with NYPD.

If Russia wanted to help any candidate, it would have been Hillary Clinton. In all likelihood, the Russians have her 33,000 deleted e-mails, and would have loved to have used them to blackmail her.

What a coup it would have been to have a puppet in the White House dancing to the Russian tune.
