FBI Disagrees With CIA On Russian Influence In The Presidential Electi
Not so fast................ FBI does not agree with the CIA!
FBI Disagrees With CIA On Russian Influence In The Presidential Election
The FBI did not corroborate the CIA’s claim that Russia had a hand in the election of President-elect Donald Trump in a meeting with lawmakers last week. The CIA report was “direct, bald and unqualified,” one of the officials at the meeting told The Washington Post Saturday.The FBI official was much less convinced of the claims, providing “fuzzy” and “ambiguous” remarks.
The different conclusions reached by the two intelligence agencies is a reflection of their different institutional styles. CIA officials often use past behavior and analysis based on gathered intelligence to advise leaders, whereas the FBI comes from a more legalistic background which relies on hard evidence to make a case.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

All the more reason for an formal investigative process.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: FBI Disagrees With CIA On Russian Influence In The Presidential Electi
All the more reason for the consolidation of all entities of the federal government that are engaged in intelligence gathering on both domestic and international fronts.
You know . . . Like the creation of the department of homeland security was supposed to do.
BTW, the FBI is not supposed to be engaged in international intelligence operations. Somebody should tell that to Tucker Carlson and the rest of his 'news reporters' over at the Daily Caller.

Common just cherry picks whatever supports his cause.
He doesn't even try to evaluate sources. It's all a game.

So if the investigation finds nothing, that would be a good thing.
Funny that many people are getting all up in arms about an investigation they thing will uncover nothing !

Yea, where was their skepticism when the House was launching the 5th or 6th Benghazi investigation?

Not so Fast,,,,,,,,,,,, Things are not as some would have you believe.
From the Daily Caller:
The CIA report was “direct, bald and unqualified,”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The FBI official was much less convinced of the claims, providing “fuzzy” and “ambiguous” remarks.
From CNN:
Part of the issue is the nature of the CIA and FBI roles in the investigation. The CIA produces raw intelligence, the FBI moves more slowly to reach conclusions based on the intelligence and other investigative work.
So, I just don't think that the FBI statements mean what some here are praying they mean.
The CIA is in the business of gathering and analyzing intelligence.
The FBI works in a more legalistic fashion.
Let's investigate this and see where it leads.
The charge is very alarming.
Is gathering information bad?
