Russia is looking to help Trump win in 2020, e******n security official told lawmakers

The intelligence community's top e******n security official delivered a briefing to lawmakers last week warning them that the intelligence community believes Russia is already taking steps to interfere in the 2020 e******n with the goal of helping President Donald Trump win, three sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

The briefers said Russia does favor Trump, but that helping Trump wasn't the only thing they were trying to do as it was also designed to raise questions about the integrity of the e******ns process, the source added.
Trump became irate in a meeting with outgoing acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire last week for allowing the information about Russia's meddling efforts to be included in the briefing, a White House official said.

"What the (intelligence community) sees as reporting the t***h -- simple statement of facts in evidence without judgment -- the President sees as undermining his legitimacy," the former official told CNN.
On Wednesday, Trump announced he was naming Richard Grenell, a staunch loyalist and current US ambassador to Germany, as acting DNI despite him not having experience in intelligence. A source familiar with internal discussions said White House officials saw Grenell as a good stopgap solution for the acting DNI vacancy as time was running out on Maguire's time in the position and because of Trump's dissatisfaction with Maguire due to the intelligence briefing.
Trump confirmed in a tweet Thursday night he plans to nominate a permanent DNI soon, and floated Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee and a top congressional ally, for the position when speaking to reporters on Air Force One.

US intelligence officials are reported to have warned members of Congress last week that Russia was trying to interfere in the 2020 e******n campaign in favour of Donald Trump, in a briefing that led to the abrupt removal of the acting director of national intelligence.

When Trump heard about the briefing, he railed at the acting DNI, Joseph Maguire, in the Oval Office, over what the president saw as disloyalty. Until then, Maguire had been a leading candidate to become permanent DNI and is understood to have told colleagues he expected to stay on in the position.

But in the wake of the briefing and Oval Office confrontation, Trump announced the appointment of a hardline loyalist, the US ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, in an acting capacity, which does not require Senate confirmation.

A thinking individual might conclude that the failure of the Progressive jokers to prove their fabricated lie that Mr.Trump was a Russian bot and how the disruption, political party warfare amongst the American people, worked so well for Putin & Co., that he wants to contribute to the confusion again with a couple of words and an innuendo. The stupid and highly emotional Progressives, picking up the Russian crumbs, go ballistic again. No one does Putins bidding any place in the world more than the Progressive Party USA. You are a pathetic mob of hucksters motivated by hatred to believe anything. Putin must be laughing in his vodka about how hard you' Progressives are working for him.

My recommendation to you Ms. Kevyn is to give it a couple days for your MSM to get the Russian hysteria evacuated out of their system and for T***h to percolate to the top and THEN give us your apology.

One more thing. Putin has enough political savvy to observe the Progressive losers you birds are touting to beat Mr. Trump in November and he already knows Mr. Trump will be reelected even if you don't. You Progressives are suffocating under the scat you created and spread.

One more, one more thing. As you already know, the "hardline loyalist" Grenell, says he will take the job only temporarily.

Interesting point of view, Mr Peter. You say, "the problem is that those who claim to be the most Nationalistic and patriotic place political power above the security of the country they claim to love."

Take a wild guess; who leaked this classified information, democrats or republicans or rather, Trump h**ers or Trump supporters. That should clarify it for you.

Your reasoning is flawed. The Trump h**ers have been leaking classified information and "secret" testimony for the past three years now. So who is it that is putting political gain over the security of the country??

And spineless? I stand up against those who have been trying, illegally, to remove a duly elected American president through lies and collusion with foreign powers: Russian Dossier. I stand up to those in power like FBI director/CIA director/upper power positions within the FBI/CIA who are trying and have tried to use their power to remove a duly elected American president. I stand up against 95% of the MSM who are colluding with those very same people to remove a duly elected American president. And I support the duly elected American president who fights the same fight with both courage and conviction. No matter what you say about Trump, he is no spineless coward when it comes to standing up to the lies of the left and the media in their continuing efforts to remove him, a duly elected American president.

Y'all's stupidity lies in your thinking that people actually are believing your lies. Y'all's cowardice lies in your fear of standing up legally and ethically against an opposing political rival with an opposing political view point.

Y'alll ain't fooling no body now how. Y'all's supporters are then just as stupid as y'all deem them to be or are just as corrupt as y'all are.

Hmmm, lemme see if I’m getting this right. Russia is supposedly supporting Trump over his likely opponent in the general e******n, Bernie Sanders. A man who honeymooned in Russia and never saw a socialist country he didn’t like whether it was Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
That doesn’t pass the smell test.
As far as Trump firing any underlings who aren’t 100% on board with his policies, I say wonderful!!
McGuire should know better than to revive Russia’s supposed meddling in a P**********l e******n after the country just underwent an exhausting 3 year figurative colonoscopy of Trump on the very same issue. The fact that CNN was the outlet that McGuire went to should tell you all you need to know about his loyalties to Trump.
I say good riddance to bad rubbish. Trump needs people around him that support him 100%. Considering all the good he’s been able to do with backstabbers all around him, think of all the wonderful things he’ll be able to accomplish with loyalists surrounding him!!
MAGA!!, KAG!! Trump 2020!

Unknown to the right wing orange crowd. the oath that so many of us and in our government take is to this great country of ours, not the individual who sits in the oval office at the moment and plots for the end of our nation as the founders saw it..

We owe the country our loyalty, not the orange criminal you helped slither into the oval office..

Russia is aiding trump and against Bernie because Bernie is an easy target in their eyes and would like trump to face the weakest opponent.

We do not need trump to have more bootlickers in his administration.. the country needs real Americans who respect the law and the oath to our nation not to the object sitting at the desk..

trump has made no attempt to stop Russian intervention in the 2020 e******n because he knows he will need that help to gain another round of destruction and self enrichment if he is the nominee of the once republican party..

You can not name one good accomplishment that trump can rightfully claim credit for.. he is on a path to enrich himself while the country becomes a 2nd rate fizzled world power of the past..
