Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats said Friday that his agency has not found any evidence of any direct interference in the midterm elections.

Coats said he has submitted a required report to President Donald Trump that says the intelligence community has not uncovered any compromise of election infrastructure that would have disrupted balloting or changed results.

Coats said the intelligence community did find a continuation of previously disclosed “influence activities” and “messaging campaigns” by countries such as Russia, China and Iran ahead of the election.

If the GOP had held the House, this report would have been different.

Is this Russia only, or no direct interference by anybody?

Does this include certain counties in Florida, and in California? Or are those considered indirect? or not interference through the infrastructure?

They don't give a damn about the truth; they just want to hound Trump out of office.

Just the 10-15 million illegal aliens and their demoncrat voting anchor baby spawn that voted 80-20% for that treasonous harpy.

That’s not too much foreign influence in our elections /sarc

Obama apparently did NOTHING about Russian and Red Chinese election interference in 2012. At least Trump did something to punish the Russians for their interference.

Historically, if the classified files on Obama’s life and rise in politics are ever released (assuming that they haven’t been destroyed by the FBI/CIA’s Deep State), then you should find a lot of Soviet/KGB/Russian influence.
