The FBI is supporting the CIA's conclusion that Russia interfered in the presidential election with the goal of supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump.
In a message sent to employees, CIA Director John Brennan said he had spoken with FBI Director James Comey and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.
Brennan said in the message that "there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election."
A U.S. official who had seen the unclassified message from Brennan confirmed it to The Associated Press on Friday.

EXCERPT:
The FBI backs the CIAs view that Russia intervened to help Donald Trump win the U.S. presidential election, two senior government officials told Reuters on Friday.
One thing we know for sure: it’s not because Teddy Kennedy asked them to.
It is like we are being set up to not believe any news stories. All over the place for the last two days the FBI has been saying they don’t believe it’s Russian Hacking. Now they do? What new evidence were they exposed to?

Somebody got to them.
Where’s the proof?
This is nothing more than attempted telegraphing to the electors.
Brennan is building “consensus” - one testicle twist at a time
Isn’t it ironic that the motto of the CIA is “The Truth Shall Set You Free” yet it was the WikiLeaks truth that did her in.
I’ll take subversion of democracy for $800, Alex.
Oh....Hillary and obviously the DNC were using computers with cr** security.
How long until they get Loretta on board?
Yes, and FBI Director Comey has so much credibility, doesn’t he?
I can’t wait until Trump cleans house of all these corrupt sleazeballs.
I think we Freepers are kidding ourselves if we do recognize that what we are witnessing an attempted Coup D’etat. I was with a group of guys this morning and we actually prayed for a peaceful transition...(something they pray about in third world countries) ;-(
Politicized and weaponized against we the people.
President just said no tampering with votes, machines, or counting.
