In late February The New York Times reported that intel officials warned House lawmakers that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get Trump reelected.
The New York Times article offered no proof of its claims and sounded like an old story from 2016 cleverly rewritten (by Adam Schiff?) to sound shiny and new.
The Times reported that Trump was outraged that the classified report was shared with Adam Schiff and the House Intelligence Committee because Adam Schiff is a leaker and liar.
Like clockwork, all the usual suspects and fake news outlets came out and attacked President Trump after the Times dropped the latest Russia hoax.
Former CIA Director John Brennan accused President Trump of “abetting a Russian covert operation” to win the 2020 election to advance “Moscow’s interests, not America’s.”
But it was all crap.
It was just another liberal media hoax.
On Tuesday the head of counterintelligence William Evanina told lawmakers there is NO EVIDENCE Russia is interfering in the 2020 election.
The Washington Post reported:
A senior U.S. intelligence official told Congress on Tuesday that the intelligence community does not as yet have evidence that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election to benefit a particular candidate, according to four officials familiar with the closed briefings in the House and Senate.
The head of national counterintelligence, William Evanina, appeared to be tempering an assessment delivered to lawmakers in the House last month that Russia had developed a “preference” for President Trump — an assessment that angered the president when he was told that it had been given to lawmakers, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the sessions were classified.
Evanina told senators that the Russians “continue to be broadly engaged in social media activities designed to divide us further, to discredit our electoral system and to disrupt our election,” said one official present at the all-members meeting.
In the Senate, Evanina’s carefully worded answer came in response to the first question asked — by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) — and “felt orchestrated,” said a second official, who was briefed on the meeting. “Both question and response were clearly pre-drafted.”
