The left has claimed that all 17 intelligence agencies came to the conclusion the Russians were behind the email hacks in the 2016 election.
Hillary Clinton boasted about this during one of the Presidential debates.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified during the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee about Russia and the 2016 election.
He was quizzed by leftist Senator Al Franken of Minnesota about the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia was behind the email hacks and that they were carried out to help elect Donald Trump.
Clapper revealed that the assessment was the work of three intelligence agencies – the FBI, NSA and CIA – and not all 17 as Hillary Clinton and the left have claimed.
Breitbart reports on their exchange:
“FRANKEN: And I want to thank General Clapper and – and Attorney General Yates for – for appearing today. We have – the intelligence communities have concluded all 17 of them that Russia interfered with this election. And we all know how that’s right.
CLAPPER: Senator, as I pointed out in my statement Senator Franken, it was there were only three agencies that directly involved in this assessment plus my office…
FRANKEN: But all 17 signed on to that?
CLAPPER: Well, we didn’t go through that – that process, this was a special situation because of the time limits and my – what I knew to be to who could really contribute to this and the sensitivity of the situation, we decided it was a constant judgment to restrict it to those three. I’m not aware of anyone who dissented or – or disagreed when it came out.”
Of course, none of the so-called “fact checkers” or journalists who catalog every Trump statement rushed to correct the record or call Democrats out for the exaggeration that all 17 intelligence agencies arrived at the conclusion the Russians were behind the email hacks.
It just goes to show that the cottage industry of “truth squads” and “fact checkers” that popped up in recent years are nothing more Democrat activists looking to inject their talking points into the political bloodstream under the nonpartisan guise of “just the facts.”
