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.

Have Comey and Clapper have reversed themselves in one day, in a manner that would bring them nothing but ridicule, or is Brennan doubling down on his lie?

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

Isn't Brennan a not so secret Muslim?

We don’t actually have Comey saying it. We have someone saying Comey said it.

Bush tried to murder Reagan. They won’t try to murder Trump, because Pence. But the current NWO traitors are no less ruthless and murderous than the Bushes.

I always got the very strong impression he was not unfamiliar with the world of “wet works”

He has the cold dead eyes of a lizard

Kind of like when Obama sent out his minions to defeat Bibi.

Seems like they are all confused. Oh and they changed their story from this a day ago.

And the Saudi’s illegal contributions equate to 20-25% of her war chest.

Flush. Clean house.

Hire patriots asap.

The problem is that they are sounding a bit like John Belushi when Carrie Fisher catches up with him in The Blues Brothers.

It was the Electoral System.
It was James Comey.
It was Anthony Weiner
It was a Russian hacker.
It was fake news.
It was all the racist Trump supporters.
She won the popular vote…

What is really interesting the same media that was totally disinterested when Obama was caught on an open mic telling Russian President Medvedev: “Tell Vald that I’ll have more flexibility once I am re-elected” is now all up in arms.

Looks like they got Comey to cave, which makes Podesta’s shot across Comey’s bow today look kind of gratuitous.

Comey didn’t say anything! Brennan is using his name to claim the FBI is with him. Don’t you see?

Maybe the DNC should learn to protect their emails. RNC did, Trump did, I do.

I am actually astonished at how many politicians use email to communicate their feelings and deceptive actions. If they would use the phone, none of this would happen. From what I see, politicians sit at their desks typing memoirs. Its no wonder why nothing gets fixed.

I tell the kids I work with to pick up the phone on a daily basis. They like shooting emails back and forth all day, when 1 phone call they would be done with the issue. This would help reduce the emails I get daily too. I’d be happy with 200 or less.

Comey’s resignation letter is not needed, but a short suicide note would be appreciated.

CIA’s disinformation unit must be really good, or the FBI is really bad, or both,

At this point, I trust Baghdad Bob over these clowns.

Absolutely pathetic.
