CIA Director – ‘Of Course’ Russia Interfered In 2016 Election…And in 2012, 2008, 1970’s

Loading

CIA Director Mike Pompeo:

At the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, Pompeo was asked whether he supports the findings of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

“Of course,” he replied. “And the one before that, and the one before that.”

Later in the question-and-answer session with New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, Pompeo was asked whether he was downplaying Russia’s meddling in 2016 by also mentioning the Kremlin’s behavior in previous years.

“I am confident that the Russians meddled in this election, as is the entire intelligence community,” Pompeo said, appearing agitated at the skepticism towards his previous answer. “I hope I didn’t stop at 2008 [for when he says Russian began interfering in U.S. elections]. You can go back to the 70s. My point was simply this: This threat is real. The U.S. government, including the Central Intelligence Agency, has to figure out a way to fight back against it and defeat it. And we’re intent upon doing that.”

Of course the Democrats were aghast at this line of talk. This is SOOOO much bigger THIS time! Bullshit.

Romney warned of the danger posed by Russia during the 2012 election and was ridiculed.

Now the Democrats see a Russian around every corner.

The only reason? Because their candidate didn’t win.

@Greg:

2016 Presidential Campaign Hacking Fast Facts

More like “Fast and Loose Facts” when they come from CNN. Instead of a sophisticated cyber-assault it looks more like DNC incompetence, fumbling and ignoring warnings. Of course, Obama ignored the warnings as well, just standing aside and letting it happen believing Hillary had the election in the bag. And, when the DNC was “hacked”, why did they not allow the FBI to investigate to find who did the “hacking”? Perhaps because it wasn’t hacking but an inside job? Perhaps they needed an “investigator” they could manipulate and control the “findings”.

There has been so much corruption uncovered within the Hillary campaign, the DNC, the Obama administration, the media and even the DOJ and FBI that nothing from these sources is possibly reliable.

But still, whose minds were changed? What votes were changed? When the Russians spent $100,000 and won an entire election, did they revolutionize campaigning when Hillary spent over a billion dollars and lost?

Russians changed the election. Russians colluded with Trump. Bullshit. Hillary simply repulsed a majority of voters and even the impact of interference from Obama, the DOJ, the FBI, the corrupt liberal media, the false dossier, illegal immigrants voting, the dead voting, multiple voting and ballot box stuffing couldn’t give her the win. Stop whining and making excuses and just accept the facts.

@Mully: Besides the Russians have so much blackmail material on Bill and Hillary that they would move heaven and earth to have her President, not to mention that she had proved herself incompetent and weak.

@Greg: Greggie Greggie Greggie, the Mueller investigation is a Clinton Campaign fueled POS from the start. Have you NOT paid any attention to the the dossier or how the FISA warrant was issued based upon it or do you just watch CNN??

Russians dont need to interfere, Hilary nearly bankrupted the DNC their fund raising has been pathetic http://theweek.com/speedreads/752743/dnc-reportedly-dead-broke-rnc-nearly-40-million
Looks like between her and Obama, they ruined the DNC finances, the candidates pretty much on their own, damn Russians

@kitt: As always well said Kitt. I look at it this way, the DNC has NO message other than hate for Trump, NO leader, and NO money!!

@kitt: @Common Sense: This would be a very good time to pay close attention to DNC fundraising. They are desperate for money and, especially with those weasels Perez and Ellison, will stop at nothing to raise money, legally or not.

I was just listening to a report on the news that all these revelations about DOJ and FBI abuses are just “distractions from Trump’s problems”. Uh… HELLO! These false accusations and phony investigations are the ONLY problems Trump has, aside from spoiled baby Democrats opposing anything and everything he says or does simply because HE said or did it.
