Editorial note: Before reading the following excerpt, understand that Dems are simply making up reason for stealing the election away from Trump. They started the first Civil War, and, now, they are going for Number Two.
NBC "News" reports that U.S. intelligence officials now believe with "a high level of
confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin became personally
involved in the covert Russian campaign to interfere in the U.S.
presidential election, senior U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.
Two senior officials with direct access to the
information say new intelligence shows that Putin personally directed
how hacked material from Democrats was leaked and otherwise used. The
intelligence came from diplomatic sources and spies working for U.S.
allies, the officials said.
Putin's objectives were multifaceted, a
high-level intelligence source told NBC News. What began as a "vendetta"
against Hillary Clinton morphed into an effort to show corruption in
American politics and to "split off key American allies by creating the
image that [other countries] couldn't depend on the U.S. to be a
credible global leader anymore," the official said.
Ultimately, the CIA has assessed, the Russian government wanted to elect
Donald Trump. The FBI and other agencies don't fully endorse that view,
but few officials would dispute that the Russian operation was intended
to harm Clinton's candidacy by leaking embarrassing emails about
Democrats.
James Clapper, head of National Intelligence and its 17 agencies including the CIA and the FBI, did not see strong evidential ties between the Wikileaks document dump and the Ruyssians ( https://www.c-span.org/video/?418617-1/james-clapper-testifies-capitol-hill-submitting-resignation&start=2471 - approx at or just before the 45 minute mark on the video), and the CIA information is not the product of an official statement. Instead, the information comes from a leaked source if not from the inner sanctum of NBC News.
