US official says Russia undoubtedly meddled in US election
MSN News ^

Posted on 01/05/2017 8:07:39 AM PST by detective

The nation's top intelligence official said Thursday Russia undoubtedly interfered in America's 2016 presidential election but stopped short of the explosive description of "an act of war," telling lawmakers such a call isn't within the purview of the U.S. intelligence community.

In a joint report that roiled the presidential campaign last fall, the Homeland Security Department and the intelligence community said the U.S. was confident of foreign meddling, including Russian government hacking of Democratic emails.

In its assessment, the intelligence community has said Moscow interfered in the election to help Republican Donald Trump win.

“Undoubtedly”? That would indicate the presence of evidence as proof. I’m still waiting to see anything of that nature.

He didn’t head the CIA
That is John Brennan who is probably one of the worst directors ever due to his compromised past and amoral partisanship
Clapper was DIA then DNI
He should been prosecuted years ago for lying to Congress among other things.

He resigned already
15 days ...

Lacking two things being very clearly defined: 1) evidence of hacking/meddling AND 2) scope of the impact - this is all BS.

So. It didn't bother them when various Muslim countries meddled with money contributed to Hillary.

Wake me when Russians are importing illegals here and allowing them to vote here. Wake me when the Russians cry racist at every attempt to eliminate voter fraud.

Just more desperation from the Left. They’re going down because they’re liars and they know it. And so do we.

Where’s the beef?

This is news simultaneously with the other news that the FBI and CIA have not even examined the DNC servers.

Thus, their “evidence” of any hacking whatsoever is heresay.

They ALL keep saying it, over and over. The MSM parrots it over and over.

BUT NONE OF THEM HAVE PUT FORTH ANY ACTUAL EVIDENCE.......................

And nobody ever will provide any VALID evidence. They liars are working overtime to generate something to cover for the liar in chief.

Hussein MUST keep the real news off the front pages:

Hillary committed MANY felonies as Secretary of State. The emails clearly show that

Hussein Obama himself is the one who ordered Hillary's indictment buried.

Hussein himself ordered the Russian narrative. It's the only thing he's got, bury the real stories in Putin's underwear. Hussein Obama really is this pathetic. Hussein is setting himself up for jail time, Trump's Att Genl will have no choice.

Our agencies have more credibility than North Korea, generally. I’d put the US agencies about on a par with Iran’s for veracity and good will at this point.

“Consensus, huh? “settled” opinion now is it?”

The intelligence community is now largely an echo chamber, which was an explicit goal of James Clapper’s role as DNI.

I'm watching this so called hearing on Russian Hacking. What a joke. The only Senators that asked good questions where Sen. Cotton and Sen. Ernst. All the questions by the other Senators were political and bias and statements criticizing PEOTUS Trump. Critical statements of Trump were made by McLame, Graham, Grandma from Missouri. The senators were upset that Trump questioned the Intelligence Departments credibility which should be questioned. Clapper is a disgrace incompetent fool. Good riddance when he is gone. Adm. Rogers is a bullshit talker and I hope Trump doesn't keep him.

Does said official say how the information gathered from hacking was used to influence the election?
