In telephone conversations with Donald Trump, FBI Director James Comey assured the president-elect there was no credible evidence that Russia influenced the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election by hacking the Democratic National Committee and the e-mails of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
What’s more, Comey told Trump that James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, agreed with this FBI assessment.
The only member of the U.S. intelligence community who was ready to assert that the Russians sanctioned the hacking was John Brennan, the director of the CIA, according to sources who were briefed on Comey’s conversations with Trump.
“And Brennan takes his marching orders from President Obama,” the sources quoted Comey as saying.
In Comey’s view, the leaks to the New York Times and the Washington Post alleging that the Russians tried—and perhaps even succeeded—in tilting the election to Trump were a Democratic Party effort to delegitimize Trump’s victory.
During their phone conversations, Comey informed Trump that the FBI had been alert for the past year to the danger that the Russians would try to cause mischief during the U.S. presidential election.
However, whether the Russians did so remains an open question, Comey said, adding that it was just as likely that the hacking was done by people who had no direct connection to the Russian government.
“It’s also unclear,” the sources pointed out, “why Putin would have preferred dealing with Donald Trump, who has promised a major military buildup, over Hillary Clinton, who would have continued Barack Obama’s cautious policies toward the Kremlin.”
Looking for job security, Comey?
Well if the Russians hacked into the DNC Emails then they sure as hell hacked into Hillary’s Classified unsecure private EMAIL Server and Trump should point this out
Of course the Russians weren’t involved. This is a fabrication of the fake news MSM to justify a revolt of the electoral college. Prepare for CW.
I can help you; start with “Za vse moi Russkie Druzya, Khoroshego Dnya Rozhdeniya!” (Sorry no Cyrillic characters...)
Democrats have manifested episodes of severe mental abberations, fantasies, mental disturbance, and mental disease as a result of Trump destroying foundations of liberal dogma going back to the 1930’s.

Agreed, If Russia hacked Killary’s email server, Trump should negotiate the return of Killary’s emails from her server. All those emails, those turned over to State and those deleted and bleached off the hard-drive are property of the US Government and We The People.
“The FBI/CIA hasn’t been able to track down ONE Anonymous member yet they tracked down Russia so quickly?”
They only post on youtube. That’s got to be a real brainteaser.
Remember, I heard that the NYPD made a backup copy of Weiner’s laptop hard drive. Will be interesting.
And wasn’t Brennan, a contractor,doing work in the passport office, and involved in those little amendments to Obummer’s passport info on file, and his employee was then found dead in his car with a bullet in his brain. Thereafter, Brennan took up Islam and got appointed as head of the CIA? So coincidental. (sarc)
I wonder if Huma has had to surrender her passport? If not, I see a vacation in her future in 2017.
The demodummies a desperate to find a reason other than their own failure. Who will be the next one accused of tampering with the election now that the Russians are no longer in the spotlight? Perhaps the Easter Bunny, Fred Flintstone, Barnie, who???????????????????????????
The agencies have been totally smeared under the Obama Administration. Absolutely disgraceful,
“He knows he’s a short-timer.”
What do you mean? Comey has a 10 year mandate and will be around until 2023.
It sure sounds like it.
Dont know if you’re serious or not because I know so little about the subject!!!
Agreed. I will never forgive the Park SService, or any scum employed by them.
I think obama takes his orders from Brennan
He’s probably clueless about it though
Dirty Harry,D-Child Molester (a friend told me)
Trump says the election is rigged and some folks say he’s nuts.
Trump is elected and the same folks say the election was rigged.
That’s what some folks call “Pretzel Logic.”
