FBI backs CIA view that Russia intervened to help Trump win election
FBI Director James B. Comey and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. have backed a CIA assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election in part to help Donald Trump win the presidency, according to U.S. officials.
Comey’s support for the CIA’s conclusion suggests that the leaders of the three agencies are in agreement on Russian intentions, contrary to suggestions by some lawmakers that the FBI disagreed with the CIA.
“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 a message to the agency’s workforce, according to U.S. officials who have seen the message.
Meanwhile Secretary Clinton points out it was both the FBI and the Russians who influenced those 70,000 votes in 3 states that threw the election to the unstable pussy-grabber Donald Trump.

“Swing-state voters made their decisions in the final days breaking against me because of the F.B.I. letter from Director Comey,” she said.

This lying sack of shit is our next president unless the Electoral College, the ultimate of insider apparatchiks, gets off their asses and saves American democracy. NOT holding my breath….
