Top American intelligence officials reaffirmed and broadened their accusations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election at a Senate hearing Thursday, rejecting President-elect Donald Trump’s suggestions that their conclusions on the matter could be faulty or false.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, speaking at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on foreign cyberthreats, described a multifaceted Russian campaign that went beyond leaking hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman to include classic propaganda, disinformation and fake news.
“I don’t think we’ve ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process,” he said.

The truth is irrelevant.
Obummer is trying to leave Trump a mess and a fight with congress.
Republicans have the majorities but dems are MUCH MORE solid in their voting D.
We still have a number of ###holes in both chambers.
Not a shred of evidence,Jjust like they lied about Bengahzi (video) and WMD. Total lies. All political— Wipe them off our screens — Drain that swamp!! I think they should be arrested and stand trial as traitors.
Obama politicized the intelligence agencies and everything else. It’s going to be tough to weed them all out and get back on track.
Pretty much proves “Intelligence Chief” should be added to the ever increasing list of oxymorons.
If this clown was associated with the Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch administration, he is by definition an untrustable bottom dwelling smegma lipped lying progressive.
Our intelligence community GATHERS information. In their entire history, every time they widely disseminate information, it has always been a lie used to achieve some intel/governmental goal.
They very fact that they are selling the story means it is a lie.
BUT...it didn’t work! - Hillary won the popular vote.
Unless of course, their interference was masterfully targeted...I guess Kellyanne Conway is a Russian /sarc/
No one hacked the vote totals of the election according to Clapper.
I agree with the POV, but who can know? ... but AHA! that’s all part of it , isn’t it?
What’s funny to me is that the CIA was always a bete noire of the left, right up to waterboarding. Now they’re righteous heroes. “The whole thing stinks.” Didn’t somebody say that?
Great. So... produce the evidence - ANY evidence - or STFU.
Still . no . evidence .
Total political BS designed to give the Left its rationale for being the degenerate force of destruction.
Clinton destroyed her credibility through criminality while Secretary of State. Her message was the status quo, Trump’s a new beginning. A super-majority of U.S. Counties voted for Trump. Legal, citizen voters demanded Trump!
BTW, an interesting discovery made by the political, intel appointees — the Russians engage in espionage... oh my!
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat, not the NSA, CIA, FBI...
Which is the same as saying that he hasn’t a clue.
Would that be James (Yea, I Lied To The Senate Under Oath - So What?) Clapper?
PROVE ANYTHING!
What does it matter if the Russians released the information? The security practices of all involved were so poor that it is a guarantee that every interested government and private party has hacked into the DNC and Clinton and Podesta etc et al and more servers and home PCS and Email. The content of those emails is probably the most widely known digital information on earth. The fact that the "crime" is in the sharing rather than in the content is a demand that anyone who has information that is bad for a Democrat must not be permitted to share that information with anyone else. NSA knew what was on all those devices. Russia surely knew what was in those emails and China and Iran and everybody else.
Sayonara, guys...don't let the truth hit ya on the way out!
