(sigh).."Anonymous sources", "these reports state", "concensus", and this is coming out of the CIA? And NPR has the exclusive skinny of course. Alrighty then.
I agree, that's sketchy. What we need is a complete, and comprehensive Congressional Investigation. ASAP.
Enjoy the read, but if you are troubled by an American Election untainted by Russian hacking, if you care about American Values, you need to call your congressional representatives and demand action on an illegal take over of our American Government by a FOREIGN POWER.
If you don't care then you are as guilty as the Russian Gov in stealing an election.
Yep. Of course they did. There was evidence of this beforehand. And once again, the Democratic Party is doing nothing about it.
We now have foreign countries choosing our leaders. My 9th grade civics teacher once explained to us that a foreign country wouldn't gain control of us by marching in and physically taking over through military use. No...it would instead put plants in place, in political and other offices of power. Trump is not the only one who favors Russia and owes it a debt. There are others in his cabinet. Trump desperately wants to do business in Russia. This was well known and reported during his campaign. Was anyone listening? If so, did they care so little about the country that all they cared about was they get their pony? A cut in taxes, maybe? Less regulation so they can make more billions? Their next door neighbor being deported (which isn't gonna happen)?

Certainly that would seal the deal for anyone?
huffpo has a story of their own on the subject, 2 pillars of the reporting community can't be lying?
You have to wonder what the motives are of the CIA?
Maybe they are concerned that Trump is going to insist that they actually do their job? I'm not so sure that as a country we aren't better off having them do nothing but I'm just trying to answer the question.
They did it to help Trump, but Trump can put out a statement saying he doesn't want any foreign nation interfering with our elections and Russia will pay for doing so.
Instead, he attacks the CIA to I guess defend Russia.
Its not about trying to make Trump look like a Russian stooge? If there was Russian hacking its important to know for a lot of reasons, and if there wasn't, it is also important to know why this story surfaced and lives on. But let's be honest: HRC tried to convince people that Trump was allied with Putin, and that's how we got to where we are.
Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to hear that Putin supported Trumps' election -- given the Democrats' Russia baiting attitude, and it would'nt shock me to hear that they tried to do something to help Trump (tho I tend to doubt it, it is possible).
But whatever the Russians did, if anything, is a far cry from insinuating that Trump had a "bromance" with Putin, as the DNC put it, or that he was a knowing and willing participant; which was one of HRC's (losing) strategies, along with "vote for me, 'cause he's really, really bad."
The only thread of truth to this is in fact........true.
Russia did influence the election just by indicating several times in several different ways who they would prefer to deal with in a US president. That is all they did though. There were not Russian spies casting millions of votes in our election. Only the insane and delusional would fear an opinion. Sadly there are many insane and delusional people in power in America.
I think this is all part of the efforts to get the media under control and add to the censorship concerning Russia and others. RT for example will soon be banned from the airwaves of the US.
For the record l truly hope the Trump administration can improve relations with not only Russia but the rest of the world.
Why would Russia hack the election for Trump? That would make no sense. Would make more sense he would want Hillary to win, and continue Obama policies, which have benefited Russia.
