“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” - Joseph Goebbels
Three things about the media's frantic claims that the CIA has proved Russia stole the election for Donald Trump by hacking the Democrats.
Three things about the media's frantic claims that the CIA has proved Russia stole the election for Donald Trump by hacking the Democrats.
First, if the hacking showed Hillary Clinton was deceitful and hypocritical, then blame Clinton first.
Second, who says the hacking was decisive?
Third, there's now evidence the CIA actually jumped the shark !
The overseers of the U.S. intelligence community have not embraced a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks were aimed at helping Republican President-elect Donald Trump win the 2016 election, three American officials said on Monday.
While the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) does notdispute the CIA's analysis of Russian hacking operations, it has not endorsed their assessment because of a lack of conclusive evidence that Moscow intended to boost Trump over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, said the officials, who declined to be named.
The position of the ODNI, which oversees the 17 agency-strong U.S. intelligence community, could give Trump fresh ammunition to dispute the CIA assessment, which he rejected as "ridiculous" in weekend remarks, and press his assertion that no evidence implicates Russia in the cyber attacks. .
An ODNI spokesman declined to comment on the issue."ODNI is not arguing that the agency (CIA) is wrong, only that they can't prove intent," said one of the three U.S. officials..
The CIA assessed after the election that the attacks on political organizations were aimed at swaying the vote for Trump because the targeting of Republican organizations diminished toward the end of the summer and focused on Democratic groups, a senior U.S. official told Reuters on Friday.
Moreover, only materials filched from Democratic groups - such as emails stolen from John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman - were made public via WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy organization, and other outlets, U.S. officials said.
John Dietrich from the AMERICAN THINKER.COM website writes:
The congressmen and media are basing their opinions on the October 07, 2016 Joint Statement from the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security issued by the Director of National Intelligence. The various accounts of the meeting of the CIA with House and Senate leaders do not appear to support the claim that there was overwhelming evidence of Russian interference. The Washington Post quoted one official saying, "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." The article claims that the CIA has “high confidence” and that it “believes” the Russian were responsible several items. It also states, “we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government.”This does not sound overwhelming.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell questioned the veracity of theintelligence. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif. (photo left), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee stated, ‘‘I’ll be the first one to come out and point at Russia if there’s clear evidence, but there is no clear evidence – even now. There’s a lot of innuendo, lots of circumstantial evidence, that’s it.’’ Julian Assange has stated the Russian government is not the source. The Russians have also denied it. Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, and a close associate of Assange, called the CIA claims “bullshit,” stating, “They are absolutely making it up.”
The Way I See It........the constant cruel jokes, memes, impressions and media mockings were meant to de-personalise Trump. The Election voters recount and Russian hacking conspiracy are meant to de-legitimise his Presidency.Naturally Donald Trump does not believe the Russians interfered in his favor. He criticized the CIA, saying, “These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.”
Very sinister.
And take a time out to marvel at the extent our media buys into the anti Trump rhetoric, even though most would see that it's all Fake News and the harm it does to democracy.
The entire media class of the western world tried to interfere in the US election. Morning, noon and night it ran Anti Trump rhetoric.
And don't forget that Obama, made his inappropriate and demeaning statements too.
