No consensus from intelligence agencies that Russians intended to boost Trump over Hillary. It would be pretty stupid for them to go with the one that had promised from day one a grand military build-up, including strategic, and that surrounded himself early on with former career military advisers.

More Fake News
Having worked in the Reagan White House, I am more than a little amused by the left’s fretting over Russia’s influence in our elections. It wasn’t that long ago when the left was eager to accommodate the Soviet Union. In fact, KGB archives suggest that Ted Kennedy invited the Soviets to interfere in the 1984 elections. But I digress…
As I mentioned yesterday, there is no consensus within the government about the extent of Russia’s involvement in the elections. Today brings more news that undercuts the left’s effort to delegitimize the results.
According to Reuters, “The overseers of the U.S. intelligence community (the Office of the Director of National Intelligence) have not embraced a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks were aimed at helping Republican President-elect Donald Trump. . .” One official who spoke to Reuters said the CIA’s conclusion was based on “a thin reed.”
Once again, the whole country has been exposed to the left-wing media’s fake news designed to undermine the new administration. When will the left accept the results and move on?
Senator John McCain, who has called for an investigation into the issue, also acknowledges that “there is no information that [the Russians] were intending to affect the outcome of our election. . .”
I wonder if John Podesta is having second thoughts about that briefing he demanded for members of the Electoral College.
