CIA: Russians Hacked Trump into Office (6 posts)

    So, where do we go from here? And no other foreign country has tried to influence a US election before, right? And we didn't do anything to influence Italian elections in 1948 (and many other years and countries).

    Do we actually get an invalidated election result? We get the mainstream joining the electoral college revolt and we end up with John Kasich as president? We get a re-vote?

    Citing anonymous officials briefed on the issue, the Post says the CIA shared its findings with senators in a closed-door briefing last week, saying it was now "quite clear" that Russia's goal was to tip the presidency in Trump's favor:

    "It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,' said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. 'That's the consensus view."

    In a previous assessment, CIA officials had thought Russians intervened with the intention of undermining Americans' electoral system, Adam Entous, one of the Post story's reporters, tells NPR's Scott Simon.

    On Friday evening, the Trump transition team fired back with a statement dismissing the report of the agency's conclusion.

    Greg Palast suggests the hacking was done by Republicans, not Russians:

    but the CIA statement could be their rigging away from the alleged President elect who says he is too smart for "intelligence"

    Clinton campaign backs call for intelligence briefing before Electoral College vote

    http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/clinton-camp...

    Hillary Clinton’s top political adviser John Podesta said the campaign is supporting an effort by members of the Electoral College to request an intelligence briefing on foreign intervention in the presidential election.

    “The bipartisan electors' letter raises very grave issues involving our national security,” Podesta said in a statement Monday. “Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed.”

    “Each day that month, our campaign decried the interference of Russia in our campaign and its evident goal of hurting our campaign to aid Donald Trump,” he said. “Despite our protestations, this matter did not receive the attention it deserved by the media in the campaign. We now know that the CIA has determined Russia's interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American.”

    Jesus Christ, this country is a mess...

    It looks like they're going to try to bounce Trump. There is no way he can go into a term as President with any legitimacy after claims like this.

    We may just get John Kasich as president.

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

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-secu...

    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.

    More likely a Nixon or Spiro Agnew, force resignation after installation ...

    I agree with Brad Friedman - www.bradblog.com - that the "votes" have to be counted properly on Election Day. Trying to have counts / recounts / inspection of voting machines / etc. afterwards is not possible in our ossified political system.
