REPORT: FBI Director Christopher Wray Says Russia Has NEVER Hacked A U.S. Election – Then CNN Lies About It
Posted on July 19, 2018 by DCWhispers   
 

Given months and months of a false narrative pushed out there by Trump hating media and politicians that Russia “hacked” the 2016 Election, the recent declaration by FBI Director Christopher Wray that Russia has actually NEVER hacked a U.S. election should be very big news. Instead, most in the media are ignoring it and if you’re CNN, well, you just flat out lie about what Director Wray actually said.
 

Here is what Director Wray said on the subject of Russia election hacking according to a local Fox 31 Denver report:

He said that while U.S. officials have not yet seen an effort by Russia to target specific election systems, it is aggressively engaged in influence operations to sow discord and divisiveness in America. “To me, it’s a threat that we need to take very serious and respond to with fierce determination,” Wray said.

Swiping information from servers may or may not fit a definition of hacking. Infecting or altering the contents of the server would be a different matter. Influencing public opinion is a separate matter.

“Russia continues to engage in malign influence operations to this day,” Wray said.

He said that while U.S. officials have not yet seen an effort by Russia to target specific election systems, it is aggressively engaged in influence operations to sow discord and divisiveness in America. “To me, it’s a threat that we need to take very serious and respond to with fierce determination,” Wray said.

He said the Russians identify divisive issues, and through covert and overt operations, fake news and propaganda, they “spin people up on both sides of an issue and then kind of watch us go after each other.”

Russia isn’t the only country threatening the U.S., Wray said.

He said he thinks China, from a counterintelligence perspective, represents the broadest and most significant threat America faces. China wants to replace the United States as the most powerful economic engine in the world and is infiltrating American businesses to get an edge.

“We have economic espionage investigations in all 50 states” that can be traced back to China, Wray said. “It covers everything from corn seeds in Iowa to wind turbines in Massachusetts and everything in between.

“The volume of it. The pervasiveness of it. The significance of it is something that I think this country cannot underestimate.”

Whaaaa????   You mean.... CNN (Commie News Network...formerly Clinton News Network) actually broke down and lied?

You don't say! 

Now that really IS news.

Anyone that believes one word printed by that (just one of many) outfit is too stuckonstupid to still be alive.

The DNC was hacked, not the election. Russia tried to influence the election - or "sow discord" - in other ways (Twitter bots, nonsense Facebook posts, fake rallies, etc.).

Russia wants chaos for the sake of chaos, I really don't think they play favorites.

From the looks of the "#nevertrump" movement, democrat, media and "Republican," it appears they succeeded to "sow discord"
