Russia is interfering in US elections to sow discord, but the US doesn't have evidence that it's aimed at re-electing Trump, three US intel officials say

The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected. The US intelligence community has assessed that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election and has separately assessed that Russia views Trump as a leader they can work with. But the US does not have evidence that Russia's interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump, the officials said.

And he has previously expressed a reluctance to impose severe sanctions on Russia.Those facts, the US assessment that Russia views Trump as someone they can work with and the separate assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 elections may have led Pierson to connect the dots.Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, argued Sunday on CNN's"State of the Union" that Russia would like to see Trump reelected"because he has been a gift to Russia.

It really doesn’t matter. If Trump wins and the delusional anti Trump people will believe he did so with Russian help.

Sadly our own media and dysfunctional Dems are playing into the hands of Putin and being his best tool to cause chaos in our country what dangerous times we are living in Our media has lost all credibility VOTE Red

lol

Do your lies ever stop

Fair analysis

I believe the first report. Not this new one now that we know the Orange one was upset by the reveal.

Russia helped Trump last time and he’s Putin’s pawn and married to a Russian asset. Not to mention the $ and blackmail being thrown around DC Congressional members. Why WOULDN’T we believe they’re still helping him?

And yet you’ve reported that they do for days.

Its dead give it up. Why dont you go after china? They have a chokehold on so many necessities like medicine!

Didn’t the head of Intelligence just get fired? So the new guy appointed by Trump has now decided that Putin isn’t trying to get Trump elected...yeah right.

Just an idea. Major US news outlets stop talking about Russia all day and they will be a hell of a lot less successful.

I no longer believe anything the government says, so

Fake News has spoken!! DrainingTheSwamp

So Adam Schiff lies last week when he said the Russians were melding in the election to help Trump. He lies upon lies. Can’t trust him. A disgrace.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂voter realDonaldTrump 👍👍👍

They want Bernie... I mean he’s a communist that honeymooned in Russia ffs

😂 CNN has been doing it for years! Promoting Russian propaganda is CNN's wheelhouse! CNNsucks

The Russians don't need to intervene. With B. Sanders as opponent, Trump will unfortunately win again.😕

And it only took you three years to figure that out. Good luck unbrainwashing your audience.

Well duh. Thats always been their goal. Been obvious for awhile

Whoever tweeted this will he fired immediately 😂 CNN actually reporting real news!

Still not proven

Russia is interfering but US doesn't have evidence?😂🤣😂🤣

Really papa!

⚡️ ⚡️ shocker ⚡️ ⚡️ 🙄

And never had evidence of it. It was and is propaganda by leftists. Otherwise known as BS.

How are they interfering? You tube ads, bribery, computer mischief, messing with polling places. Don't just say Russia, Russia, Russia, tell us how.

Hahaha How many times are you guys going to do this? 48 hours ago it was a bombshell story. Now turns out it was just the usual Fake News Liberal Propaganda. You guys get why your ratings are getting killed right? Just tell the truth. Lol No need to be puppets of schiff. 😂😂😂

And who obliges Russia by deliberately spreading discourse? None other than the MSM. Putin's puppets.

Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia,

Sounds like the past 3 years of RepAdamSchiff, SpeakerPelosi RepMaxineWaters and JerryNadler No evidence but must convict! realDonaldTrump will win in 2020 Trump2020

Wake up ! This is hard to stop ! Anyway , Obama said don’t vote for Benjamin Netanyahu! Did you happen to think that was interfering ?

They must not be on twitter.

So CNN is still dumpster trash news?

So once again cnn jumped the gun accusation of trump being a Russian asset with no evidence. Boy that’s over the line for slander/libel. But you don’t care.

total bs...russia interferes since the 50's and no record of a single vote manipulated once cast...total bs from the Russia Russia Russia network. perhaps cnn is working for the Kremlins

It's obvious they want trump reelected.

And idiots like cnn , msnbc , CBSNews are biting on it hook line and sinker. The world is laughing at us because media outlets are gullible fools who want to get the “scoop” instead of getting the facts. Just look how wrong you all have been over the last 4 years!

Sure. No proof. Doesn’t matter proof isn’t enough for the lazy corrupt lying republicans. GOP SenateGOP senatemajldr MoscowMitch

Sad that MSM can tell such lies without any evidence!! And mainstream Americans believe it! 🤦🏽‍♀️

The Russians are coming to collect on Bernie's false promises...look out!

must hurt cnn so much to post this

So we have no evidence they wanted Trump. Now we have no evidence they want Bernie. What is this garbage?

Jeff Zucker upon realizing that he would have to pay more taxes and would have nothing to complain about without this current administration has pivoted towards aiding Trumps reelection. Funny isn’t it...

Sure it is. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Let’s get him out once and for all

BS

“Appears to overstate”? The understatement of the century! These Deep State intel operatives are undermining not just our election process (by sowing unverified accusations of Russian interference in our election) but our entire republic. They must suffer appropriate consequences

You realize this report have already been proven fake. There was no evidence. Which is a slightly crucial thing to have when making allegations like this

Hairsplitting B.S.

A Sanders nomination is a guaranteed win for Trump.

Clearly CNN (Communist News Network) and Russia are interfering in the election. They BOTH love creating discord and chaos among us, which they clearly have succeeded in doing.
