US intelligence split on motive for Russian election interference

[pbmus]

However, an FBI official's presentation to the House Intelligence Committee was "fuzzy" and "ambiguous," the Post added.
The CIA believes Russians hacked both Democratic and Republican organizations, though only documents from Democrats were leaked and published.

According to multiple reports, the FBI still hasn't confirmed whether the RNC or other Republican groups were hacked.

The Washington Post reports the FBI is not certain that Russia's interference in the election was a purposeful effort to alter the results.

During a meeting of the House Intelligence Committee, the CIA said it was sure of Russia's intentions in hacking Democratic party emails, but the FBI was less certain, The Post reported.

One official told The Post that for the FBI, "there’s no question that [the Russians’] efforts went one way, but it’s not clear that they have a specific goal or mix of related goals."

3. The FBI has clearly been infiltrated.

Maybe Comey is one of the compromised.

I really wish we'd stop appointing Republicans to important posts.

Sad to say, our best hope to get us out of this mess (besides the electoral college) is the CIA. Which is truly frightening.

5. i don't think it's Comney himself. but rather others who are pressuring him

and he is weak can doesn't really have control over things.

4. isn't there a pro-trump faction

at the FBI, that "forced" Comey to release that stupid letter? Why should we believe the FBI on anything about this election.

7. +1, but that's what someone claims "Comey" said... really, Comey hasn't shown his Comrad face
