Findings that Russia meddled to help Trump beat Clinton were 'accurate and on point': Senate intel p

Findings by the intelligence community that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump win were "accurate and on point," according to an unclassified report and accompanying statement by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released Tuesday.

The committee's findings came after a lengthy review of the "sources, tradecraft and analytic work underpinning" a January 2017 intelligence community assessment.

The FBI's and CIA's "analytical disagreement" with the NSA over whether Russia sought to bolster the Trump presidential campaign was "reasonable," the report also said.

While the FBI and CIA had "high confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin aspired to help Trump's election chances by denigrating opponent Hillary Clinton, the NSA had only "moderate confidence" in that assessment, according to the January 2017 analysis.

At first I wanted to blame Sen McCain for this, but then I remembered he's dead.

That the Russians may have favored Trump in 2016 comes as no surprise -  Clinton's State Department meddled in Russian parliamentary elections and Putin was furious about it.

Ok ... bottom line ... did they "hack" into voting machines and change the outcome??  This "Russian" interference and meddling point has been ongoing for over a year.  Wash ... Rinse ... Repeat. Next.

Makes no difference.  If they can 'paint a picture' for those that don't even know why we celebrate the 4th of July, we'll see a voter crusade by the Left.

Recall that it was discovered that the CIA/NSA has the ability to forge electronic communications and make the sender/recipient whoever they wished it to be.

...for why else would they use the words "accurate and to the point"?

The headline is misleading:

The FBI's and CIA's "analytical disagreement" with the NSA over whether Russia sought to bolster the Trump presidential campaign was "reasonable," the report also said.

While the FBI and CIA had "high confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin aspired to help Trump's election chances by denigrating opponent Hillary Clinton, the NSA had only "moderate confidence" in that assessment, according to the January 2017 analysis....

...But on the other side of Capitol Hill, Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have disputed the  conclusion that Putin wanted to help Trump.

GOP members of the House panel have cited "significant intelligence tradecraft failings" in the intelligence community's findings, saying it is inappropriate to conclude that Russia acted specifically to assist Trump.
