WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI is supporting the CIA's conclusion that Russia interfered in the presidential election with the goal of supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump.

In a message sent to employees, CIA Director John Brennan said he had spoken with FBI Director James Comey and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.

Shouldn’t this come from Comey himself?

Well, THAT settles it then...

ULTIMO MEGA-SARC...

I wouldn’t trust anything that Muslim Brennan says.

More fake news. Not buying it.

So what? Millions of voters never read wiki leaks. They were for Trump on June 16. Perhaps President Trump will have a better cyber security team than Obama to prevent this in future. Hillary was fubar candidate. DNC leaks mattered not.

[Washi]

Sounds like Obama made a phone call.

[old curmudgeon]

No conservative trust Brennen.

No conservative trusts Comey.

How do two liars make a truth?

So says Brennan? Hysterical.

What evidence was presented to the FBI which led them to change their minds and when can we see it?

[Texan Tory]

It is very possible that the alleged interference from Russia resulted in Trump receiving fewer votes than he would have otherwise received, so it may have actually helped Hillary. If the information damaging to Hillary was coming from Assange, without any help from Russia (Assange claims that his information came from inside leaks), then Trump was being harmed by accusations of Russian help, without actually receiving any help from Russia, thus probably costing him the loss of some votes.

They write it as if the hacking us something to do with machines or something new and not the DNCs emails which showed Team Clinton rigging the election against Bernie. And then Podestas emails which showed them rigging the General against Trump by colluding with the media and debate mods.

Trump needs to remind everyone about the content as the media is getting away with a total spin of facts.

[Dutch Boy]

Is this attack really on Russia or a round about way to get Assange to reveal his sources?

[M Kehoe]

Everyone trying to get their story straight.

May I suggest rope and lampposts?

They had no problem leaking the Billy Bush tape. Then whine about Wikileaks.
