Breaking: FBI BACKS CIA View that Russia Intervened to Help Trump Win Election

[bripat9643]

Gee, it's about time.

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.
​

Rest here: FBI backs CIA view that Russia intervened to help Trump win election

Here you go citing a known fake news service again:
and this:
"“Earlier this week, I met separately with FBI [Director] 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,” Brennan said, according to U.S. officials who have seen the message."

All this says is that they agree on "scope, nature and intent", it omits what they think that "scope, nature and intent" is...which is exactly how fake news works.

Exactly what every agency is reporting. WTF do you think they are referring to?

they printed eactly what it is they are referring to...THIS:
"“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."

The context of the broader article is what?
Intelligence agencies in agreement on Russian hacking?

"Anonymous sources" are in agreement. In other words, no one is.

Oh, ok, well I'm glad to have you on record saying that WND, TheHill, IssueHawk, Politico, TeaPartyUSA, and Fox News are "fake news" outlets. lol

Wrong, idiot. WND, Fox News, The Hill and TeaPartyUSA merely quote the story published by the Washington Post. Issue Hawk cites The Hill which cites the Washington Post. All stories rely on anonymous sources.

Basically what he have here is a daisy chain of fake news. That's how leftwing propaganda works. On outlet publishes some horseshit lies, and then all the others cite in and endless chain of fake news.

What does independently confirmed mean to you?

What does that have to do with the fact that all these articles have the same exact source?

How was it "independently confirmed?"

Exactly!

Stay gold Ponyboy!

How can you make your lungs work when you're so fucking stupid?

That has not been independently verified.

Guide to planting a "believable" Fake News story:

1) Make sure the story is:
: independently confirmed = same story reported by 2 or more fake news agencies. NBC repeats CBS story, Puffington Host reports as fact- CONFIRMED!! CONSENSUS!!
2) Always use:
: unnamed sources = a complete fabrication with no one to hold accountable after the story is inevitably debunked. Unnamed officials have CONFIRMED!! CONSENSUS!!
3) All sources speak:
: Off the record = Speaking off the record, the "unnamed sources" CONFIRM!! the lie is true!! CONFIRMED!! CONSENSUS!!
4) Use a Boogeyman!!
: Russians, Iranians, Syrians, North Koreans, Venezuelans, and Cubans are perfect boogeymen!

Follow these simple steps and your Fake News story will be swallowed whole!! With any luck, you'll get a WAR!!!

Except... it's not fake. It's confirmed by EVERY intelligence agency in the Federal government, foreign intelligence agencies, The AG of the U.S., and the President of the U.S.

According to "anonymous sources." In other words, no one confirmed it.

The AG is anonymous? The President of the United States is anonymous? James Clapper the Director of National Intelligence is anonymous?

James Clapper is a douche bag toady who got caught telling egregious lies. The AG and Obama are both a couple of known liars. They are politicians - professional liars, in other words.

Again... so you are saying this is a huge widespread global conspiracy between every intelligence agency in the U.S., the DoJ, the President, and foreign intelligence agencies? You are a fucking loon.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't like what this news report says so I'm gonna say it isn't true!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh"

It's fake news right? You have no evidence right? I'd be laughing that hard too and am!

You lost so you no longer get the say!

I posted links from several conservative sources, are those "fake news" outlets as well? Dumbass.

No you didn't. You posted conservative sources referring to an article published by the Washington Post. The same article that used anonymous sources and proved exactly nothing - fake news, in other words.

Yet independently verified.

According to the fake news source, referring back to themselves the proof they offered was:
"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."

 

[Contumacious]

Except we DO NOT TRUST EVERY intelligence agency in the Federal government, foreign intelligence agencies, The AG of the U.S., and the President of the U.S.


.

No, you trust Russia and a guy that lies with ever two words that comes out of his mouth. And you are proud of that.

I trust no one.

I do not want my children and grandchildren dying in a WWIII tarted by HRC.


.

So everyone dies in a war with China instead of Russia... that's the reasoning you use.

I trust that businessman Trump will understand that war against anyone is bad for business, bad for taxpayers and anyone involved.

.

Really? Then why is Trump causing problems with China?

I do not believe that China will start a war over Taiwan.


I will oppose any policy which allows US warmongers to continue harassing the Chinese and then claiming they were in international waters.

I hope president Trump will understand that such maneuvers are counterintuitive. Specially if he really means to decrease our taxes.

Yeah, what part of that didn't you understand about two days ago

Here are the actual facts as reported in the OP:

• 1) nada
  
• 2) zip
  
• 3) nothing

Nothing has been proven. There are no actual "Facts". There is no "Confirmation". Confirmation would be the publishing of a memo or record of the conversation. Nobody has anything except the word of some "unnamed" official who "read the memo". Having half a dozen news aggregators and collaborators repeat the lie does not change the basic lack of facts. When no one will go "on the record" you have the makings of a FAKE NEWS story.

Were is the "memo" they are referring to in the news reports? Where is the "quote" from Brennan- the actual quote - you know the kind that is on the record? Not simply according to people that "read the memo"? Nowhere. It does not exist. It's all "off the record".

Why?

Because it is FAKE NEWS.

Again, I posted a video of one of the guys working on the investigation, and he said exactly how the Russians hacked into the DNC.

I need him to appear before Congress , testify UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY and subject himself to CROSS EXAMINATION.

Then and only then will I be able to determine if the testimony is credible.


.

WHY? WHY are Republicans so hungry for long drawn out expensive investigations??? There is not a single person in the U.S. government with the position to have knowledge that has said that it wasn't the Russians who hacked the DNC. Not a single one... out of ALL of them.

I do not trust Obama to conduct an objective investigation

Beneath his composed and controlled presidential exterior, which is entirely fake, Obama is bitter. He’s a sore loser. He’s filled with hatred. He hates to see Obamacare criticized and threatened with destruction. He hates to see his place in history diminished. He views Russia as an adversary, so he hates to see Trump looking upon Russia as a partner.

Independently verified by Fox as well!

I guess that means Trump can make the flip before inauguration now that Fox has his back.

Fox reported what the Washington Post published. In other words, they verified nothing.

There's no "conspiracy," only a bunch of douche bags who all think the same.

He is not saying that

He is is saying that you are one gigantic stupid gullible fuck, nothing personal , of course.

So yes then. In the broader context they verified the conclusions made in the article.

What was your point again?

That what you fell for as verification from a fake news source is in fact not verification at all, and if you would like or need to be reminded of why just ask and I'll be happy to disprove it for you a sixth time...just try and remember it this time

You're welcome to independently verify the sources by calling each cited person's office for verification. Oh, wait. That's already been done.

ahhh the white flag post...OK
I can honestly say that in a phone call to each of the cited sources not one of the cited sources could or would confirm or verify any of that information for me...see how that works?

They couldn't verify the claim in the article that they met and each agreed in the manner reported?

Why not?

[DigitalDrifter]

tl;dr

The FBI, CIA and DNI are all in agreement -- Russia intervened in our election in order to help Trump win.

What this means, is Russian leaders would rather Trump be president than Hillary.

It does not mean that voting machines were hacked and the results of voting were changed.
