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.”
I hacked the DNC and Podesta. It was me. I met in the woods with that guy and gave him a flash drive with all the emails. I stayed silent until after the election because I didn't want to end up like Seth Rich, who hacked Hillary's campaign.
I'm not Russian, I'm a hick.
Of course not. Otherwise the Clinton Campaign would be howling about it. There was never a peep from the principals about false composition of the emails.
They composed them. They sent them. AND, they even had a heads up from intelligence community and did.not.care.
It was all about google.com addresses and simple Simon passwords and serious word failures that opened the door, not to hacking, but to PHISHING.
The LEFT is calling phishing “HACKING”. It’s a circle nevermind, for highjacking terms, and putting different hats on common terms. Alinsky in a cascade of BS.

За все мои Русские Друзья, Хорошего Дня Рождения!
My advice would be trust neither of these agencies under this current loser leadership. Who knows, this could be a set-up for Trump. It’s what people in that biz do.
Yep, that’ll work!!
When will Comey be fired? Is all I want to know
I think the media has been given the green light to come out swinging as to do so much damage to Trump that most will believe this crap.
Exposing liars, cheats, thieves, sociopaths, and incompetent morons above the law for what they are, is not hacking an election! It's transparency as promised by Obama!
A classic case of getting exactly what you promised to deliver, without intent to actually follow through.
McBain and L. Graham fell for the bait, showing true colors brighter than ever. Rubio showing more poor intincts....meh
This seems like kind of a big deal. Sure would be nice if Comey would see about getting this leaked to one of the big papers.
I see Valerie Plame and her egotistical husband has been planting stories in the Compost and N.Y. Slimes again.
You follow the dots....
“And our government and press still sits there wide-eyed and innocent, acting indignant and upset that someone is interfering in free elections.”
Absolutely shocking, believing that a whore has sex for money.
Looks like an angry Berner at the DNC would be the mostly person to leak the emails.
Maybe the FBI director is a Russian mole;)
No, and nobody has ever claimed that the Russians wrote them. Simply that they disclosed them...which sort of misses the point!

Okay, someone tell me something about this website’s bonafides, or lack thereof. I’ve never heard of them, but according to this, we should buy more ammo.
Pls see my last post. There are rumblings going on but that site isn’t exactly on my “trust” list. Heard anything about an ongoing silent coup and counter-coup? And where is Steve Piezenik?
