The heads of six top U.S. intelligence agencies said on Tuesday that Russian interference in American democracy has not diminished since the 2016 presidential race and is continuing in advance of this years midterms.
During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing in Washington, D.C., the directors of CIA, FBI, National Intelligence, National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency were asked to reaffirm their view that Moscows election meddling has continued since the election of President Trump. They did so unanimously.
Frankly, the United States is under attack, Dan Coats, the director of National Intelligence, said at the start of Tuesdays hearing. Under attack by entities that are using cyber to penetrate virtually every major action that takes place in the United States.
Influence operations, especially through cyber means, will remain a significant threat to U.S. interests, Coats continued. Russia probably will be the most capable and aggressive source of this threat in 2018.
The director warned that the Kremlin will continue to use sympathetic spokesmen to advance its disinformation agenda, pushing propaganda, social media, false-flag personas and other means of influence to try to exacerbate social and political fissures in the United States.
There should be no doubt that Russia perceives its past operations as successful, Coats added.

Damn right they do.
How the hell do you think we wound up with Obama?
Be honest now!! Russia has been attacking the USA one way or another since the Cold War heated up. Read the two books authored by J. Edgar Hoover in to 50’s or 60’s and learn how bad it was back then. It has never slacked.
The media seems to think it is new and that it because of Donald Trump. They are so incompetent, so shallow!
“anti - US”
Define.
To me, this reads AKA anti-Democrat ONLY. In fact, the Democrat ARE anti-US now. They do not want it to exist.
Intelligence communityFeral Bureau of Matters
Here we go again. Are these people useless or do they actually do something about it?
Posting trash on Facebook?
Well yes, I was wondering who would see the obvious, which didn’t need a fancy formatter either, but you get a nice little red star for it.
If Russians can hack our elections, so can other parties. What’s so special about Russia.
This is just the deep-state intelligence community setting the stage so they can declare an eventual win by Republicans of the 2018 mid-terms as fake because of Russian intervention.
Somehow Russians don’t matter when they like Democrats, however.
Looks like The Swamp intends to taint every election with their Russia meme.
Let’s go back to paper ballots.
Yup, almost like a Law of Science or Math.
Its a given!
Paper ballots filled out in person by people with a picture I.D. are hard to hack with a computer. They also give a more accurate count.
Good. If the Rats take Congress, it can all be invalidated until a lengthy investigation is completed. ;-P
What if Putin’s minions try to foster a Dem victory in Nov on the belief that not only would the govt be divided and paralyzed but impeachment efforts would threaten the markets and cause economic chaos. And here is the variable, what if, public words aside, Puti and Soros are acting in concert.
“Russia has a long way to go to negatively influence elections if they want to compete with Comey and Obama.”
Not a bad tagline.
So anything against democrats is russian meddling.
Sure.
Incredible BS.
No they would be covering uranium one and demanding hillary be brought up on charges.
