U.S. intelligence chief stands by assessment of Russian meddling

Instead of ‘assessments’ can we have some ‘clear proof’?

@kuris Instead of ‘assessments’ can we have some ‘clear proof’?

What 'clear proof' would convince you? You know only those at the deepest levels of a few intelligence agencies could probably have 'clear proof', and you know they'll not be able to disclose it.

People will decide the extent of Russian meddling based on their trust in either Russia or the US.

I don't have much trust in US intelligence, but I have zero trust in Putin's.

For starters, you can read the text of the indictment itself:

Yes, it looks clear enough.

However, without a trial and co-operation from Russia then it is impossible to come to a legal verdict.

POTUS is most likely aware of that fact too.

I can't imagine how demoralizing it would be if I risked my life working for an intelligence agency, and/or military intelligence, to gather information about America's enemies, only to have a so-called US president denigrate our work and openly commit treason.

To all US intelligence professionals, thank you for your service. You are appreciated by true Americans. :) 

Former CIA Director John Brennan just called Trump a traitor and asked Bolton, Pompeo AND John Kelly to resign immediately.

I would side with the intelligence community at this point.

Good job, Mr Putin, you are the ace of spies in human history! Now you own USA, all Trump supporters were your own assets!

Well we had proof and took action when President Obama closed embassies, kicked out Russian officials and imposed sanctions on Russia. Things that Dump is trying to reverse.

Now we have more proof today.

Guess which political party she infiltrated? Look at all of her photos!

And remember, Dan Coats is Trump's pick for the position of Director of National Intelligence

So Trump doesn't even trust his own hand-picked men

"The top U.S. intelligence official on Monday stood by what he called "clear" assessments of Russian meddling in the 2016 election"

Oh, well, that's it then! Whatever you say, Dan! Question for Dan - how come Obama didn't do anything about the Russian meddling, especially if it was meant to help Trump, as he was openly supporting and campaigning for Hillary even though as a sitting president that was totally inappropriate? And one more - instead of just saying "clear assessments," how about showing some actual proof? Nah...

Let's swap Obama, Hillary, Mueller and Rosenstein for twelve Russians if Putin would agree .

The T clowns are trying to weather the storm but lost course and their compass is spinning around in search for a magnetic field.

Time for the first edition of Russian meddling for Dummies :)
