CIA “Cooked The Intelligence” To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump In 2016, Sources Say

The Russians didn't fear a Hillary Clinton presidency. “It was a relationship they were comfortable with,” CIA analysts believed

Release of the ICA dominated headlines, fixed Donald Trump in the minds of millions of Americans as a Manchurian candidate controlled by Vladamir Putin, and upended his in-coming administration.

The report declared that Russia and Putin interfered in the 2016 presidential election to “denigrate” Hillary Clinton and “harm her electability,” thanks to their “clear preference for President-elect [Donald] Trump.”

It was powerful stuff. And it was dead wrong.

“They cooked the intelligence,” says a source close to a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia scandal, whose full findings are being blocked from release. “They made it look like Putin supported Trump,” the source added. “The evidence points the other way.”

It would be funny, if these same people weren't trying to turn us into Hungary.

Tucker is out in Russia right now hyping up their way of life.

Pretty crazy that being anti-lib & a patriot means being pro fascism, pro Putin, & pro Russia. Weird times we're living in.

He was so impressed that Russia has a way to keep homeless people from taking shopping carts that he didn't notice that Aldi's had the same setup since about when I was born. Of course , rich folk have lackeys to do their shopping so he's probably never seen the inside of a grocery store.

And Aldi's is German in origin, going back to the Albrecht family.
Been in Aldi's 3 times. Think the quality of food is not that great.
