CIA Director Mike Pompeo in a Sunday show interview said that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that his government did not meddle in the 2016 election is “false.”

“The Russians attempted to interfere in the United States election in 2016,” Pompeo told “Fox News Sunday.”

Pompeo pushed back against Putin’s recent claim that the Russians indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller don’t “represent the interests of the Russian” government. Putin in an interview with NBC News insisted there is no proof the Kremlin ordered or attempted election interference. “It was Russians who actually engaged in this,” Pompeo said, clarifying that those individuals had ties to the Kremlin.

Pompeo maintained the CIA’s position that the U.S. intelligence community's analysis of the election interference does not extend to whether or not Russia’s attempts to meddle impacted the 2016 election.

3. They refuse to state the election was hacked because they refuse to compile the information.

The data is out there, counties in WI and MI where there were more repug votes than there were registered voters, severe presidential only undercounts in PA and FL. All these states were hacked by Russia and he would have lost if even 2 of them went Dem.
