No evidence of Russian 'play' to help Trump; briefer may have 'overstated' intelligence, official says

Contrary to numerous recent media reports, there is no evidence to suggest that Russia is making a specific "play" to boost President Trump's reelection bid, a U.S. intelligence official told Fox News on Sunday.

In addition, top U.S. election official Shelby Pierson, who briefed Congress on Russian election interference efforts, may have overstated intelligence regarding the issue when speaking to the House Intelligence Committee earlier this month, the source added.

Remind me again: Do we trust unnamed government sources this week, or not?

Claiming there's no evidence of a Russian play to help Trump again is up there with claiming there's just not enough evidence to support that the Earth isn't flat. I mean it's just making Trump's base look terribly silly.

Not even Trump trusts the US intelligence services.

Perhaps he does now that he fired the last guy who didn't say what he wanted Congress to hear.

Let's take a couple steps back here.
90% of Trump's decisions and actions in the region have had a DIRECT or indirect benefit to Russia.

Tell me why Russia would WANT anyone else? Russia is better today because of Trump in office.

Also, if numerous reports AND individuals in the state department are willing to go on record saying Russia is interfering, exactly how much weight and gravitas would do you give to someone who won't say their name in a media report?
What would he have to be scared about? Trump ain't gonna boot him.

Would he be scared of his coworkers? Why? because he's contradicting findings, evidence and reports? Well if he is, then certainly he's incompetent at his job and shouldn't be doing it.

Source?

Source?

Reality. Go check it out.

Problem is, if I quote a newspaper that has ANYWHERE near journalistic integrity, that explains how this has happenned, they get dismissed as a trump haters and not recognized as good journalists.

So help me understand what the point of that would be? I have a few sources if you can convince me to waste my time to put it up though.

Be happy to check out any source you care to put forward. I won't dismiss then off hand but I won't simply take their word for it unless they can substantiate their opinions with good factual evidence. Had you said something like IMO Trump 's policies have benefitted Russia to the point that they would want him ito remain in office. I would not ask for a source. Stating categorically

90% of Trump's decisions and actions in the region have had a DIRECT or indirect benefit to Russia.

requires some sort of statistical analysis to back it up. When one starts using percentages it leaves one open to that.

There is a reason why Fox is nicknamed Faux News.

And now that the president has fired the honest DNI for doing his job, we have yet another layer if deception in our government.
