| FBI Disagrees With CIA On Russian Influence In The Presidential Election |
| 2016-12-12 |
| [Daily Caller] The FBI did not corroborate the CIA’s claim that Russia had a hand in the election of President-elect Donald Trump in a meeting with lawmakers last week. A senior FBI counterintelligence official met with Republican and Democrat members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in order to give the bureau’s view of a recent CIA report. The official did not concur with the CIA, frustrating Democrats. The CIA believes Russia "quite" clearly intended to send Trump to the White House. The claim is a bold one, and concerned Democrats and some Republicans who are worried about Trump’s desire to mend relations with an increasingly aggressive Russia. The CIA report was "direct, bald and unqualified," one of the officials at the meeting told The Washington Post Saturday. The FBI official was much less convinced of the claims, providing "fuzzy" and "ambiguous" remarks. |

| #2 In all seriousness, a federal judge just nixed PeeAye recount, so that leaves some non-constitutional invalidation of the election on the strength of nothing but CIA unsubstantiated claims, obooboo deciding to just stay on, or the "faithless elector" gambit that some dems are whining for now. Let Jan. 20 pass quietly and without shenanigans and then let the real real fun begin! |
