INTEL CHIEF: TRUTHFUL REPORTING ON US CORRUPTION IS PART OF RUSSIAN CONSPIRACY – HINTS AT ‘ACT OF WAR’

Outgoing Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee the campaign to sway the election in favor of Donald Trump did, in fact, involve Russian government-coordinated hacks, but,
‘Hacking was only part of it. It also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, and fake news.’
This heavy-handed and ‘multifaceted Russian campaign’ attempted to undermine the United States, Clapper asserted, and – although these Russian hackers did not manage to infiltrate any voting machines or tamper with the vote count – there would be no way for the U. S. Intelligence Community to assess the total impact on the election. Stopping a hair’s breadth from calling this campaign an act of war, Clapper posited,
‘Whether or not that constitutes an act of war. I think, is a very heavy policy call that I don’t think the intelligence community should make’ – and then added, ‘It certainly – would carry, in my view, great gravity.’
