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.
“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,” CIA Director John Brennan said..."

Whell - Maybe you should ask the moderator to move your original post and what follows on this subject outside of this fake news thread you started. While you're at it, admit you been duped by right wing propaganda (i.e., fake news) into carrying their water on this issue.  |
Right wing propaganda? is that what Reuters is?
This was just 3 days ago:

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 not dispute 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.
Now, three days later, Comey allegedly accepts the CIA's conclusions, when only 3 days ago there was a lack of evidence?
Two days ago, there was apparently a
phone discussion between Trump and Comey, and Comey dismissed the idea that Russia was trying to tip the election one way or another?
Nah, I think I'll wait a few days before drawing any additional conclusions.
