DNI John Ratcliffe Says There Was Foreign Interference in November Elections: Report
The Epoch Times ^ | December 17, 2020 | Massoma Haq

Posted on 12/17/2020 11:58:19 AM PST by Twotone

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe confirmed that there was foreign interference in the 2020 election, according to CBS correspondent Catherine Herridge.

“Well DNI Ratcliffe leads the 17 intelligence agencies and he has access to the most highly classified information that is held by the US government. And he told CBS News that there was foreign interference by China, Iran, and Russia in November of this year and he is anticipating a public report on those findings in January,” Herridge said.

Ratcliffe’s office did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for confirmation of the report.

Ratcliffe’s statement contradicts others made by national security officials.

Christopher Krebs, the recently-fired top cybersecurity official during the presidential election, testified before the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday.

“While elections are sometimes messy, this was a secure election,” Krebs said.

And of course, the report will be out sometime in January. Maybe after the 20th?

There’s always been foreign ‘influence’ on our elections.......and the USA on other nations elections. Influence is one thing....flipping votes and supplying fake ballots is another thing.

My bet is that China, Iran, and Russia funneled millions into the Biden campaign. All of them know that Biden will be putty in their hands.

So what is this fool doing about it? And why was he sitting on it? Two questions that probably don’t need to be answered, as we all know.

Let's see, China, Iran and Russia interfered in our 2020 election. I honestly can't seem those three working to make Trump the next President.

Therefore in the spirit of truth, can a Special Prosecutor be appointed to investigate the interference to see if Biden should be impeached?

Just asking. Last go around no collusion was found.

So, the report won’t be ready by the December 18th deadline because the various US intelligence agencies can’t get their stories straight. Could be the usual suspects are dragging their feet?

Elections should never be MESSY. That’s code for yes there is cheating but don’t bother, it’s nothing.

I have seen where China may have some direct connection with Dominion/Smartmatic. If the “meddeling” means altering votes in any way that is an act of war and would invalidate the election wherever that occured if its verified.

Will they make that public?

I read posts out here all day, all the time.

When I read this snippet from yours, it just hit me like a ton of bricks. It was one of those massive synaptic matrix connection moments.

The shit-storm they put our Great President through since before he was even elected/inaugurated.....Russian collusion, election tampering....illegitimate President, on-and-on, etc.

IF there was real, actual foreign interference in this past election, do you really think our GREAT PRESIDENT is going to go quietly into the night, after what he was put through as a HUGE LIE?

No phucking way that happens.

Buckle up, Patriots. Shit is gonna get real.

(Looking into my cystal ball, I foresee... )The feckless republicans in congress will ‘yell’ it, but that will be about it- they ‘might, just might, launch a useless investigation that goes nowhere- by design of course- but that’ll be about it

My guess? Because that is part of the lucrative deal he made with democrats?
