U.S. intelligence officials have determined that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, specifically to help Donald Trump win the presidency, The Washington Post first reported on Friday.
In addition to hacking into Democratic organizations, Russians hacked the Republican National Committee's computer systems, according to the Post — but they did not release any information that might have been retrieved from Republican networks.
"Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and others, including Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, according to U.S. officials," the Post reports. "Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and hurt Clinton's chances."
Citing anonymous officials briefed on the issue, the Post says the CIA shared its findings with senators in a closed-door briefing last week, saying it was now "quite clear" that Russia's goal was to tip the presidency in Trump's favor:
" 'It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,' said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. 'That's the consensus view.' "
In a previous assessment, CIA officials had thought Russians intervened with the intention of undermining Americans' electoral system, Adam Entous, one of the Post story's reporters, tells NPR's Scott Simon.

NPR == #FAKENEWS
Sheer propaganda.
You go ahead and cling to it liberals if it makes you feel better.

RE: NPR == #FAKENEWS
Well, I guess so is the WaPo and a whole heap of other sources. See here:
Interesting that “ the Russians “ leaked info on their own bankers and moguls who did business with john Podesta and the Clintons...
And gave up the chance to have a totally corrupt greedy and eminently blackmailable old woman as their primary foe
Oh wait....# FAKENEWS
Give a real name of a real person or persons at the CIA who will sit in front of a House Intelligence Committee panel and swear to this UNDER OATH under penalty of imprisonment or STFU.
Are you sure those pics were not Photoshopped?
Obamma’s war on Trump administration continues.... You had your turn your handlers gave you.... its over and your replacement is not coming in to continue the destruction of America. IT’S OVER for you and them. They will all not go quietly... but just STFU and go. You are back to being what you have always been.
I call BS on this and will defer to Julian Assange himself who publicly stated it was NOT THE RUSSIANS that supplied the info.
and then transfer the dude to an office in antarctica, without a space heater.
The NDAA of 2012 authorized the use of propaganda against American Citizens,
The renewal this year adds control of access to outside news sources. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3503030/posts
Frickin’ liars...
What did the Russians supposedly “DO”? Pay people to attend Trump rallies? Encourage them to start fights in the waiting lines? Create havoc during elections? Oh no, wait, those were things the DNC did!
Did the Russians send money to Trump’s campaign? Show us the money, then.
Did they inject nano-organisms into Director Comey that made him a Russian zombie?
Whole thing’s ridiculous...
Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers.[1] Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering or sensationalism.[1] By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.[2]
Here we go again. Soon the narrative will be the CIA has “intelligence” that the election was hacked by the russians. They wont have a shred of evidence mind you but they will present it as FACT. And Snopes will back them up. And we will be ridiculed and mocked for daring to question them. Stupid annoying liberals. SSDD
I stopped getting the WSJ a few years ago, primarily due to their liberal stance on illegal immigration. Seems like it was a good move. Two-faced SOBs.
Tip? Speaking of tips, wages, and... unreported income.
What/who would've been getting tipped in transactions ensuing from collaborating with the Muslim Brotherhood to "liberate" 20000 not-so-fake жалящее насекомое missiles from Libya?
And, did those tip$ get properly reported to the IRS?

And NPR is STILL trying to do EXACTLY what they are trying to blame the Russians for.
