Washington – The Director of National Intelligence is restating the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election following a press conference where President Donald Trump openly questioned that conclusion.

Dan Coats said Monday that the U.S. intelligence community’s role is to provide “the best information and fact-based assessments possible for the president and policymakers.”
He added: “We have been clear in our assessments of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and their ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy, and we will continue to provide unvarnished and objective intelligence in support of our national security.”
After meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday, Trump said that he had “great confidence” in U.S. intelligence but that Putin’s denial of election meddling was “extremely strong and powerful.”
This lib-turd democRAT deep state commie bozo ….

Dang dem democRATs who think dat da Roooskie wud lie.
Russian “Meddling”. Oh my such great generic terms. Oy vey “meddling” colluson”.
Nonsense words. What does that all mean?
“undermine our democracy” another laughable fake term. So getting debate questions in advance something I call cheating doesn’t “undermine” our democracy. What exactly was “undermined”? Elections were still free and honest. A few silly FB ads? Opposition research something we all do?
When the USA “meddles ” in other countries elections like it did to Israel to boot Bibi, and get in Barak in 98 then its not “meddling”?
Such bogus.
We either have stupid law enforcement officials are officials bent on getting Trump. Go wrok on mass shooting and terror instead. Its far more of a national security threat
This all started in 2015 under Obama’s watch
