WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT DEPART YOU ARE AND WHAT IT MEANS COMING
UP IN A FEW MINUTES IN THE SHOW.
YOU’LL WANT TO SEE THAT.
ALSO ON THIS HOLIDAY EVE, WE’VE
HAD A NO NOTICE SURPRISE DROP.
THIS LITTLE BOMBSHELL FROM THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE IN THE
U.S. SENATE.
U.S. SENATE. THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE IS CONDUCTING A
BIPARTISAN INVESTIGATION INTO A
WIDE RANGE OF RUSSIAN ACTIVITIES
RELATING TO THE 2016 ELECTION.
WHILE ELEMENTS ARE ONGOING, THE
COMMITTEE IS RELEASING INITIAL,
UNCLASSIFIED FINDINGS ON A
ROLLING BASIS AS DISTINCT PIECES
OF THE INVESTIGATION CONCLUDE.
THE COMMITTEE HAS CONCLUDED AN
INDEPTH REVIEW IN JANUARY 2017
ON RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE
2016 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
THEY HAVE INITIAL FINDING TO
SHARE WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THEY FIND THAT THE MEDDLING IS A
SOUND INTELLIGENCE PRODUCT.
QUOTE, IN ALL OF THE REVIEWS
WITH THOSE WHO DRAFTED AND
PREPARED THE ASSESSMENT, THE
COMMITTEE HEARD CONSISTENT REPLY
ANALYSTS WERE UNDER NO
POLITICALLY MOTIVATED PRESSURE
TO REACH ANY CONCLUSIONS.
ALL ANALYSTS EXPRESS THAT HAD
THEY WERE FREE TO DEBATE, OBJECT
TO CONTENT, AND ASSESS
CONFIDENCE LEVELS AS IS NORMAL
AND PROPER FOR THE ANALYTIC
PROCESS.
PROCESS. AS THE INQUIRY HAS PROGRESSED
CYNIC JANUARY 17, THE COMMITTEE
HAS SEEN ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES OF
RURK’S ATTEMPTS TO SEW DISCORD.
THE COMMITTEE COULD NOT OCCURS
WITH INTELLIGENCE AND OPEN
SOURCE ASSESSMENT THAT’S THE
RUSSIAN INFLUENCE CAMPAIGN WAS
APPROVED BY PRESIDENT PUTIN.
QUOTE, MOSCOW DID SEEK TO
DENIGRATE SECRETARY CLINTON.
SO THIS IS A RESOUNDING
STATEMENT.
STATEMENT. SAYING WHEN THAT REPORT CAME OUT
FROM THE NSA AND THE FBI AND THE
CIA, IN JANUARY 2017, AS THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WAS LEAVING
AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WAS
ABOUT TO BE SWORN IN.
THAT INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
ASSESSMENT THAT SAID RUSSIA HAD
MEDDLING IN THE ELECTION, BOTH
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE
SAYING THAT INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY REPORT, THAT WAS
SOUND.
SOUND. AND OVER TIME IT HAS ONLY BEEN
MORE PROVEN OUT BY WHAT WE’VE
LEARNED SINCE.
LEARNED SINCE. NOW, IN CONTRAST, THIS PAST
WEEK, PRESIDENT TRUMP HASLITERAL
QUOTED HIM.
QUOTED HIM. AND NOW THIS NOTE, IT SAYS IT IS
BULLET PROOF.
BULLET PROOF. THE COMMITTEE BELIEVES THE
CONCLUSIONS OF THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT ARE SOUND
AND NOTES COLLECTION AND
ANALYSIS CONSEQUENT TO THE ICA’S
PUBLICATION CONTINUE TO
REENFORCE ITS ASSESSMENTS.
THIS SEEMS IMPORTANT
PARTICULARLY GIVEN THAT THE
SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES KEEPS DENYING THAT RUSSIA
EVER DID THIS.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT REPORT.
WHY DID THE COMMITTEE SNEAK THIS
OUT THE DOOR WITH NO
ANNOUNCEMENT THE NIGHT BEFORE
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
THEY’VE RELEASED A BIG REPORT.
IT DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS THE
ASSERTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES AND THE
DEFENDERS IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE SAID,
YEAH, THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY, THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT
THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT.
RUSSIA DIDN’T DO ANYTHING AS FAR
AS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL.
THIS IS BIG NEWS.
BUT THEY HAVE TIMED ITS RELEASE
AND NOT ANNOUNCED ITS RELEASE IN
A WAY THAT THE S DESIGNED TO
RELEASE
RELEASE RELEASE.
RELEASE. THIS IS WHY IT IS GOOD YOU’RE
HERE.
HERE. IT IS GOOD TO WATCH THE NEWS ON
