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.

You beat me to it, shouldn’t the story be the lack of safeguards which enabled any hacking to occur?

Gosh, I wish for once those asses in the intelligence agency would have enough honor and do the right thing and deny Russian hacking lunacy for the sake of the country!! My god don’t they see the damage and danger they are putting the American people in! Surely there’s got to be honorable people in the intelligence agency that can come forward and slap these bastards down! They are playing a dangerous game and I don’t see putin amused over the constant accusation drumbeat!

There is more animus between Clinton and Russia than is being reported via the narrative-propaganda media.

Before the election, Clinton was ready to nuke Russia and was even campaigning on doing so. Had she won, we might very well be dodging incoming responsive nukes right about now.

Since she lost, Clinton and Obama are now blaming Russia for hacking the election. No info or details on how Russian actions influenced the election, but they are responsible — for something.

Now, the FBI is on board with the CIA and Obama is out accusing the Russians of hacking and draws a red line.

Why is Clinton and Obama seemingly so hot on getting into a potential armed conflict with Russia?

Well this is it, the final shot at the Electors. Like I said in another post: this crap is going to be wall-to-wall this weekend. I popped on FNC and the caption on the screen was and I quote “Ronald Reagan would roll in his grave if he knew the GOP supported Putin”. Not CNN but FNC. That’s right folks Trump and us are allies of Putin and if you Electors vote for Trump you are too, what a bunch of BS.
When we will know how the vote went on Mon?

[A U.S. official who had seen the unclassified message from Brennan confirmed it to The Associated Press on Friday.]

Anonymous source

I wouldn’t trust anything that Muslim Brennan says.

I find it hard to believe anything that anyone in the FBI or CIA says these days. Drain the swamp.

Guess these people didn’t get the memo yet:

Propaganda is all lies...it was called ‘fake news’ but since then it is just called ‘out and out lies’ and anyone who prints, repeats it or talks about it like the media, talking heads and pundits are ‘called liars’...

Just for the record, an “election” is an event and can NOT be “hacked” by a computer user. Only a computer can be “hacked.”

The election was not “hacked” by the Russians because it’s not possible.

If the FBI or CIA believe the “election was hacked” then those organizations are run by fools and should be shut down and everybody sent packing.

[No conservative trust Brennen.

No conservative trusts Comey.

How do two liars make a truth?]

The source of the story wasn't Brennen or Comey, it was an anonymous “U.S. official.”

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

None and never. It does not exist.

The hacking of emails was well known prior to the election, what difference does it make who the source is at this point? It’s Hillary and the Democrats own fault for the damaging information in the emails, had there not been any embarrassing info in them there would’ve been no problem for Hillary regardless of who was doing the hacking.
