Priebus is Denying the RBC hack now and quoting the FBI on it. The fact that the Reps are turning their back to CIA intel because it shows they are Russian puppets is pretty lol.

This poo poo is still blowing my mind. I laughed along with all the other smug progressives when Palin and Romney were flapping their arms about The Russian Menace in the 08/12 debates

and now we have this Clancy novel poo poo playing out irl where the incoming executives of the world's most powerful government are gonna be honest to god Kremlin toadies?

and the same conservatives who used to be reliable in their hawkishness/mistrust of foreign powers are more or less ok with this because, idk, they have a woody for Vladimir-senpai?

the CIA has overthrown plenty of legitimate governments to replace them with right wing authoritarian stooges

overthrowing our right wing authoritarian stooge to replace him with a legitimate government is really the least they could do to make amends.

quote:

“The FBI briefers think in terms of criminal standards — can we prove this in court,” one of the officials said. “The CIA briefers weigh the preponderance of intelligence and then make judgment calls to help policymakers make informed decisions. High confidence for them means ‘we’re pretty drat sure.’ It doesn’t mean they can prove it in court.”

this is the crux of the split, weird trumpets in the FBI aside

Of course, thanks to his narrow victory in 1996 and the need to pull in those American advisors to (totally legitimately *wink*) win, Yeltsin decided he needed a stronger central government and appointed a young administrator from St. Petersburg to be his deputy chief of staff.

no it's that it happened, but we're not sure what their motive was

quote:

The FBI is not sold on the idea that Russia had a particular aim in its meddling. “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,” said one U.S. official.

which is even worse!!!
