Two senior officials with direct access to the information say new intelligence shows that Putin personally directed how hacked material from Democrats was leaked and otherwise used. The intelligence came from diplomatic sources and spies working for U.S. allies, the officials said.Putin's objectives were multifaceted, a high-level intelligence source told NBC News. What began as a "vendetta" against Hillary Clinton morphed into an effort to show corruption in American politics and to "split off key American allies by creating the image that [other countries] couldn't depend on the U.S. to be a credible global leader anymore," the official said.

Ultimately, the CIA has assessed, the Russian government wanted to elect Donald Trump. The FBI and other agencies don't fully endorse that view, but few officials would dispute that the Russian operation was intended to harm Clinton's candidacy by leaking embarrassing emails about Democrats.

The latest intelligence said to show Putin's involvement goes much further than the information the U.S. was relying on in October, when all 17 intelligence agencies signed onto a statement attributing the Democratic National Committee hack to Russia.

The statement said officials believed that "only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities." That was an intelligence judgment based on an understanding of the Russian system of government, which Putin controls with absolute authority.Now the U.S has solid information tying Putin to the operation, the intelligence officials say. Their use of the term "high confidence" implies that the intelligence is nearly incontrovertible.

"He has had a vendetta against Hillary Clinton, that has been known for a long time because of what she said about his elections back in the parliamentary elections of 2011. He wants to discredit American

I don't believe Assange because he's not neutral.

Well as far as I can see he's been spot on up to now, why else would the US government be so anxious to get him extradited? You only have to look at what happened to Bradley/Chelsea Manning, 35 years is just monstrous and disgusting. I am truly surprised that the Left is so quiescent on this, why?

This just screams out "the '80's called and wants their foreign policy back." Was reading an old thread on this board last night from that debate and several liberals in the point cheering for Obama ripping Romney with that line. Irony is ironic isn't it?

You couldn't possibly be that stupid Wacko. Anyone who plays partisan politics in regards to a foreign power attempting to undermine our elections is a blythering idiot of staggering proportions. This has nothing to do with Trumps legitimacy and is a threat to our national sovereignty. Spare me the lame Cold War anologies. It's beyond silly to compare post Cold War policy with this direct attack by Russia on our democratic institutions and if Trump doesn't retaliate he should be impeached for being the most incompetent US President ever. Hell if compelling evidence is verifiable now than Obama is a nutless wonder if he doesn't retaliate.

Fuck this partisan bullshit. That nonsense end on our nations shores.

Right...that's exactly why Hillary was prosecuted to the full extinct of the law when she allowed an open server to be hacked at the State Department. And there was more "OBJECTIVE" evidence to prove that breach than the dog an phony show going on today. You did not appear to be so "excited" about national security concerns at that time. I wonder why? Could it be that YOU and the DEMWITS were placing politics above national security? LMAO.

Your party has had 8 years to address this MAJOR PROBLEM...according to YOU. What have you done to address this major concern? Nothing until your political power was lost.

Sorry Mott, but this is up there with your saying that the US will attack the Falklands. Actually I am truly surprised as you're not usually into conspiracy theories.

WaPo is lol?

Ironically, Assange understands the value of journalistic integrity more than many journalists do. He seems to take pride in his 'product': Wiki has an excellent track record of being accurate. It would be out of character for Assange to lie and it makes no sense for him to.

Because as soon as he is caught, Wiki becomes irrelevant as a source.

Assange has intel on trump but he never released it so I question his "integrity."

There was no "eight years" to address the server problem. It only became known in 2015.

You wrote above "Julian Assange was the darling of the Left, now he is their bête noire", well the opposite is also true. The Right hated Assange until he released info on Hillary, now he's their darling. At least my position on him is consistent. I can't speak for all the left but Chelsea Manning deserved what she got. She should be thrilled she wasn't put to death for aiding the enemy.

Make their mass transit unworkable? Fuck you Russian patriots. I love my country and anyone who stands by and let's a foreign country like Russia fuck with us is a god damned traitor.

Fuck you comrade. You can suck all the Russian dick you want but I want to know what my government is going to do to show Russia the tail doesn't wag the dog.

Right.....there was no threat to US intelligence when Barry took office. Nope...it all begin on Election day 2016.

Can't read and chew gum at the same time?

Bingo...there goes the final buzzer. The ad hominem personal attack. Game over. Why? There is no refuting of the simple truth. Its Entertaining to watch bozo's come spinning out a corner their own words have painted them into. So...you conclude there was no silence on the left when Hillary exposed State Department classified communications to the hackers of the world? No crickets in the background....nothing? You suddenly done a 180 and embraced Hamilton and "FEDERALISM"....on Nov. 9th? Its just like when you switched sides with the south in the 1960s....you became the white night against racism and those damn republicans all moved south?

One more time. What do you idiots hope to accomplish....even if you do convince the required number of "UNFAITHFUL" electoral votes to move Trump below the 270? Congress will simply select him....game over. What do you expect?

Nothing with this dog and phony show except a last ditch effort to discredit YOUR LOSS due to a lack of transparent truth and failed policies that forced you out of power. Of course it was...1. We won the popular vote...Trump lost (in your dreams there was a sea of RED STATES...that's called a landslide) 2. We want or i.e. demand a recount in the blue wall states because Trump could not have beaten us...there "MUST HAVE BEEN" some type of voter fraud (there was from the democrat party as evidenced in Detroit). 3. The last excuse....The Ruskies helped Trump by releasing e-mails proving that we lied and deceived people. When the character that actually released the e-mails (Julian Assange) is on record...TODAY saying Russia had nothing to do with the e-mails. And if anyone can produce any evidence that man has historically "LIED" concerning anything Wikileaks has released...present it.
And if you have evidence to the contrary.....name the source of the Government Officials who have this evidence and let them present it now and prove you correct. You will not because YOU CANNOT.

Its time to move.org. Enough with the HATE YOUR NEIGHBOR to the point that you are willing to place this entire nation at risk of a another world war. But the left is good at that...aren't you? Wilson WW1, Roosevelt WW2....Kennedy/Johnson The Vietnam police action. Harry Truman .... Korea. Mr. Peanut helped found the Muslim Brotherhood and modern terrorism. Clinton through INACTION allowed the current WAR ON TERROR to take place.

And speaking of "SUCKING RUSSIAN ASS".

Oh don't play the hypocrite with me. If The shoe was on the other foot than the right would be screaming bloody murder but given the rights recent utter incompetence in foreign affairs I'm amazed the right isn't using this as an excuse to invade Cananda.

If believing we should retaliate towards Russia makes me a liberal than I'm in good company with every Republican President since Eisenhower. Ya'll aren't conservatives. You're just good ole boys rationalizing any thing the good ole boys tell you too.

I mean what do you need to be convinced that this isn't a partisan attack on Donald Trump. As far as I'm concerned he is our legally elected President. End of story but this attempt by Russia to influence or disrupt our elections is an attack by Russia on our nation that requires a response from our government to Russia that we won't tolerate this shit from them.

All Americans should be united on that front.
