CIA concludes Russia intervened in the U.S. elections with the goal of helping Trump win
Individuals linked to the Russian government hacked both Democratic and Republican computer systems but only leaked information from Democratic officials, the CIA finds

The
CIA has concluded that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help
President-elect Donald Trump win the White House, according to reports in the
Washington Post and the New York Times, which confirmed that Russia actively
favored Trump.
The
officials described the individuals as people known to the intelligence
community who were part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and reduce Hillary’s
chances of winning the election.
The
hacked emails passed to WikiLeaks were a regular source of embarrassment to the
Hillary campaign during the race for the presidency.
U.S.
intelligence agencies also found that the Russians hacked the Republican
National Committee’s computer systems as well, but did not release the
information. This made the CIA conclude that Russia meant to promote Trump over
Hillary.
“It
is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s goal here was to
favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,” the Post quoted
a senior U.S. official as saying. “That’s the consensus view.”
The
CIA presented the growing evidence from multiple sources during a secret
meeting with a number of senators last week, with agents saying it had become
“quite clear” that the Russia was supporting a Trump victory, the Post
reported. They said that Russia’s goal was electing Trump.
Trump’s
team rejected the CIA’s findings on Friday, saying, “These are the same people
that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.”
This
was a confused answer, because when former right-wing U.S. President George W.
Bush said that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, most liberals,
especially in media, said that there were no such weapons. In contrast, most
right-wing and conservative groups sided with Bush. The most prominent leftist
politician to stand with Bush was then senator Hillary Clinton.
Even
though Trump’s team is dismissing any knowledge of a Russian interference in
the U.S. elections to help him win, in his campaign last July Trump said,
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that
are missing.” He referred to emails on Hillary’s private server that she said
she deleted. These messages involved the State Department affairs and their use
in a private server constitutes crime.
Last
October, Russian president Vladimir
Putin was accused by U.S. government of plot to interfere in
presidential election against Hillary Clinton and her party, and now the CIA
has confirmed this accusation.
After
all, was the Russian interference beneficial or not? From a leftist view, no,
because Hillary lost. But from a conservative view, it was helpful, especially
because both Trump and Putin have opposed left-wing billionaire George Soros
and his organizations.
In
fact, in one of the most powerful pro-family measures in our time, Putin has
passed a ban against homosexual propaganda on children — a ban praised
by Rev. Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association, but condemned by Obama and other Western leaders. So it is no wonder
that Putin
was named “Person of the Year” in 2014 by The Advocate, the oldest homosexual magazine in
the U.S. He was portrayed as the number 1 enemy of homosexual militants around
the world just because he protected Russian children from homosexualists and
their harmful propaganda.
The
Russian opposition to the gay agenda has been a powerful motivation for Obama
and his allies to fight Putin. In fact, Rev. Scott Lively has warned: “Obama
Orchestrated Ukraine Coup to Re-Start Cold War and Prevent Russia from Leading
Global Revolt Against LGBT Agenda.”
The
Ukrainian crisis, ignited
by George Soros and U.S. neocons, has been a convenient U.S. tool
against Putin.
By
interfering in the U.S. elections, Russia defeated Soros and his ally, Hillary
Clinton, who was sure to
advance neocon interests and the gay agenda in the U.S. and around
the world. Her homosexual activism was no mystery. It was crystal-clear and
tyrannical.
Trump
is not a real conservative, and he has no conservative history, but he is relatively
open to dialogue (an openness Hillary had not). Conservatives should take
advantage of this openness to press Trump to abandon his bad decisions.
One
of these bad decisions was Trump
appointing homosexualist Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder, to help him
choose people for his administration.
Different
from Hillary, who would choose only liberals for her administration, Trump has
chosen liberals and conservatives. And he has also chosen neocons,
whom he had promised to fight. He needs spiritual assistance to keep his
promise on fighting neocons.
Putin’s
Russia did a good action by helping Trump win. Conservatives’ good action would
be to press Trump, among other goals, to do as Russia is doing: to protect
children from the homosexual propaganda.
