FBI supports claim that Russia acted to bolster Trump's campaign
CNBC ^ | 12/16/2016 | Everett Rosenfeld

The FBI supports the the CIA's assessment that Russia acted to help Donald Trump win the U.S. presidency, The Washington Post reported Friday, citing U.S. officials.

"Earlier this week, I met separately with (Director) FBI James Comey and DNI Jim Clapper, and there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election," CIA Director John Brennan said in an intra-agency message, the Post reported.

Two U.S. intelligence officials confirmed to NBC that FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper concur with the CIA's view of Russian involvement in the election. They also confirmed the veracity of the Post's excerpts from Brennan's message.

Trump, who is now the country's president-elect, has repeatedly dismissed the accusations that the Kremlin illegally inserted itself into the U.S. electoral process. Prior to the Post's report of Brennan's message, the FBI's stance on the matter was not entirely clear.

Bunch of Islamic terrorists "acted to bolster Trump's campaign."

Matter of fact, reality itself "acted to bolster Trump's campaign."

Brennan also showed them pictures of their wives’ cars and annotated maps of where their kids go to school...

good news. Nobody wants to go to war with Russia. Nobody believes a word out of the CIA or FBI anymore. Certainly not out of Obama’s mouth. Trump will win the electoral vote in three days. Trump will be the president in 35. Putin Is certainly smart enough to avoid avoid war 35 days. he is Sinister but he’s very clever.

IIRC Clapper said the opposite thing a few days ago. CIA head Brennan is a Muslim convert. FBI head Comey is a dirty cop. They can say whatever they want to. I would just as soon take advice from a guy sitting at the bar in the tavern down the street.

Hitlery and the Democrats are crazy. They lost the election and now they want war with Russia to exact revenge upon a universe that does not completely cater to their powerlust.

Why don't the Democrats just blame easy access to guns for their defeat as they used to?

CIA Director John Brennan said in an intra-agency message

Brennan's just dismayed that our new CIC isn't going to be in bed with his jihadi comrades.

Earlier this year, we were told that 5 State actors got access. Five, but then again, Podesta’s password was p@ssword, for cry-eyed.
