There is evidence. It's just not on Breitbart. Russian citizens hacked the DNC email accounts (fact) and sent them to wikileaks (fact). They did not hack the RNC emails (fact) and it's not because they didn't find anything. US Intelligence agencies have claimed that an analysis of the hacks has indicated that it was directed by the Russian government (fact). Now, as to whether it was done with the intent to "help trump get elected" is conjecture. It certainly hurt the Democrats and Clinton. It is nice to see the Democrats getting exposed for the things they did regarding Bernie Sanders. It would have been less suspicious of the Russians if they had hacked Democrat AND Republican emails because I'm sure they are just as scandalous.

The Democrat's are notorious for posting pictures to social media with their logins, and passwords written on the wall, because they are idiots. Any 1st year computer programmer, and Bernie sympathizer, could have logged in, and made it look like the files were sent to Russian citizens. Hell, even I can do that. If you want to start a war, that could go nuclear against the Russians, because a bunch of morons don't know how to use a computer, so much for any of your posts about the protecting the environment.

The CIA is fake news, ok Breitbart, I'm done here, Merry Christmas : )

They took us all over the middle east on bad intelligence, costing hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides, missed 9/11, wasted $10 trillion dollars. What a stellar record...

Umm, yes that's one of their specialties. They're now free to conduct ops inside the country as they see fit.

Now it's conservatives who see the CIA as less than stellar. How times have changed.

BTW: I still fly with guys that insists Iraq had WMD's (at the time of the invasion.) They usually have bunkers, too.

You mean this guy?

Kennedy's public dissatisfaction with the CIA did not even last long. On November 28th, 1961, in a ceremony at CIA headquarters, Kennedy told the Agency:

How grateful we are in the government and in the country for the services that the personnel of this Agency render to the country. It is not always easy. Your successes are unheralded-your failures are trumpeted. I sometimes have that feeling myself. But I am sure you realize how important your work, how essential it is-and how, in the long sweep of history, how significant your efforts will be judged. (25)

Then on January 9th, 1963, in a letter of commendation to Director John McCone, Kennedy expressed his "deep admiration for [their] achievements, and the appreciation of a grateful Nation" to the members of the intelligence community. (26) In fact, as late as October 9, 1963, a little less than two months before his death, President Kennedy had the following to say at a news conference about the Central Intelligence Agency:

I can find nothing, and I have looked through the record very carefully over the last nine months, and I could go back further, to indicate that the CIA has done anything but support policy. . . So I think that while the CIA may have made mistakes, as we all do, on different occasions, and has had many successes which may go unheralded, in my opinion in this case [South Vietnam] it is unfair to charge them as they have been charged. I think they have done a good job. (27)

The President was thus fully supporting the CIA in front of the nation.

I'm sure if Trump backs off his term limits policy, and his ban on officials entering the private sector, suddenly they will have made a mistake on that Russian hacking thing.
