Top intel office not on same page as CIA regarding Russia hack assessment
Published December 13, 2016
"The nation’s top intelligence office is not on the same page as the CIA regarding its assessment that Russia interfered in the U.S. elections in a bid to help Donald Trump, a U.S. government source confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday.
"The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees the U.S. intelligence community, has not fully embraced the CIA finding.
"Fox News is told that several U.S. election-related hacking incidents are being wrongly lumped together, when they should be treated as separate events -- these cover breaches at the Democratic National Committee and another campaign arm; in a top Hillary Clinton campaign official’s email account; and at state election boards.
"Reuters reports that while the ODNI does not dispute the CIA’s general analysis on Russia hacking, the office is not convinced of the evidence that Moscow sought specifically to help Trump defeat Democratic opponent Clinton.
"The government source told Fox News the discrepancy comes down to Russia’s intent."
