Klingon director orchestrates shadow government consensus on RU hacking
2016-12-17
[Wash Times] The FBI and the Director of National Intelligence agree with a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks on the U.S. election were intended in part to help President-elect Donald Trump win office, according to news reports.

Citing U.S. officials’ accounting of a staff memo sent by CIA Director John Brennan to his employees, The Washington Post reported Friday that both FBI Director James Comey and DNI James Clapper supported the CIA’s analysis of Russia’s hacking efforts.

"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," Mr. Brennan wrote, according to the Post.

"The three of us also agree that our organizations, along with others, need to focus on completing the thorough review of this issue that has been directed by President Obama and which is being led by the DNI."

NBC News also confirmed the Post’s report. Reports from earlier this week indicated that the ODNI had not endorsed the assessment that the Russian’s got involved to help Mr. Trump win the election.

Coming soon: Obama confers with Lynch, threatens to block removal of DNI, Director FBI and CIA pending outcome of investigation. Recommends pulling of Secret Service protection.

#10  I'm starting to debate the use of the CIA. They are not paid to politically manipulate This Country like they are.

It looks more like a bunch of un-professional, leftist goons.

They better stop playing games.
We could replace that festering blight on our Republic with a new OSS overnight.

#9  I watched Obama's news conference yesterday. It was unpleasant and I had to force myself to sit through it.

When asked about releasing the evidence that proves Putin's involvement in the hack he said he could not reveal certain "sources and methods". He said we have a choice of trusting our own intelligence community or trusting Putin.

Gosh, that's a tough one. He wants us to trust the people who refused to prosecute Hillary for violating secrecy laws? The people who brought us Benghazi and Syria? The people who got us into Iraq under false pretenses? The people who for decades did absolutely nothing about the cyber war being waged against us all by the Chinese, Russians, Ukrainians, Turks, etc., etc., but then, when those enemies made Hillary look bad, all of a sudden our vaunted intelligence community tells us they were endangering our democracy?

I smell hypocrisy.

#8  Hopefully something will prevent these evil bastids from having their way. Their intent is becoming more obvious with each passing day.

#7  "... Support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.... Bear true faith and alligence ...."
Funny how those words in the oath will require the people in the military to take seriously any such attempt to subvert a peaceful transfer of power. Sedition is in the air folks, and it needs to be dealt with if it goes any further than snowflakes talking.....

#6  Yeah, a lot of that money came from entities that felt they were buying something, not placing a wager. Nasty surprise for them...

#5  Well, the Saudis preferred Clinton and put their money on it. Klingon Director says nothing...

#4  Trump's rejection of international 'regime change' was the virtual last straw.

The shadow government has no intention of relinquishing power without a fight. Nothing personal, it's simply a business decision.

#3  They are prepping the battlespace for the delay of the electoral vote and the eventual nullification of it.
The states will vote monday as planned, but when the results are close to being certified in congress the rug will get yanked out from under us.
Election hacked, all previous results are null and void. Demoncrats keep power.

#2  Alright, so when the Klingon's refused to meet with you last week and provide evidence, what did you think they might be up to ?

#1  But, but, but I thought the bureau had the lead on investigations involving domestic counterintelligence.

No mention of whose job it is to ensure that such alleged incidents do not happen.

Consensus now, proof later according to DNI Clapper. Could take months, even years.
