NYTimes retracts:
NYT: A White House Memo article on Monday about President Trump’s deflections and denials about Russia referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election. The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.
There are only 16 intelligence agencies in the federal government. The 17th one so much referred to in the media, is the office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). It is not considered an intelligence agency itself but basically overseas and coordinates the efforts of the rest of the agencies in the intelligence community.
The 16 agencies include Air Force Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, Coast Guard Intelligence, Defense Intelligence Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of the Treasury, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Marine Corps Intelligence, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency, and Navy Intelligence.
Both Trump and you are correct in stating that recently it has been clarified that only three of those actual intelligence agencies concluded that the Russians had tried to interfere with US elections. Not all "17" like the fake news outlets have been claiming since the election.
For CNN's Acosta not to know this means he is so focused in trying to nail Trump for colluding with the Russians, that he can't see what most FReepers and the American people already know. Get out of your CNN bubble Jim!
