Russia Today continues muddying the waters on the hacking-allegations

https://www.rt.com/usa/370097-odni-abstain-cia-russian-hack-election/

The ODNI shares the conclusion that Russia hacked the US, but refuses the conclusion of malicious intent to elect Trump, citing that they cannot prove intent.

"Aha!" says RT. "See? They refuse to go all in! That discredits the whole thing!"

RT lambasts the WH press secretary for not providing evidence for his claim that Trump invited the Russians to hack Clinton. 5 minutes of googling would have found the quote...

Also, what's the difference between former US-officials working for RT and for CNN? There is none!!! ... Except that RT gets controlled by not only a foreign entity but a foreign government.








Before you read the next paragraph, please turn off your Irony-o-meters:
RT’s Press Office has issued an official comment on the matter, saying that it is “amazed at the misinformation” given by White House press secretary.



Aaaand Neocon, Iraq-war-liar and conspiracy-theorist John Bolton is obviously as credible as a source as actual government officials with actual access to actual information.
