James Clapper: Russia Definitely Guilty Of Hacking, Fake News/Disinformation attack [View all]

Those seventeen intelligence agencies that usually hate each other -- but in the case of Russian interference in our election -- agreed unanimously? James Clapper is the overseer for all of them. And that "unanimous" part impressed even him.

As he testified in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday morning, Clapper reaffirmed that Russia was involved in trying to disrupt the US Presidential election of 2016.

Senator Jack Redd asked, "Aspects of this Russian hacking was not just disseminating information they had exploited from computers, but also the allegations of fake news sites, fake news stories that were propagated. Is that an accurate -- or is that one aspect of this problem?"

Clapper replied, "This was a multifaceted campaign, so the hacking was only one part of it. And it also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news."

I am screaming as loud as I can. Trump's campaign was in on this. They helped the Russians. Ask Roger Stone what he was doing talking with Assange. Trump stole this election. It is who he is. A Con man. Trump is a criminal. Rudy Giuliani knows more than he admits to. Put these guys under investigation.
