BY TOM PORTER ON 11/11/17 AT 12:37 PM

The CIA has reaffirmed its claim that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election after President Donald Trump said he believed President Vladimir Putin's assurance that the allegations are untrue.

In a statement to CNN, the agency said Director Mike Pompeo, whom Trump appointed in January, reaffirmed the agency's finding.

8. The republican DraftDodger is pissing on honorable veterans in US Intelligence

...because face it, most of the men and women who make up our 17 US Intelligence agencies are loyal, intelligent people who have served honorably in one branch or another of the US Armed Forces. They have gone on to careers in US Intelligence. They are unanimous in their determination that russia screwed massively with the US election.

But the republican Draft-Dodging Casino Hustler is pissing all over them, basically calling them liars. the "republican family values" role model is saying we should kiss off everything the US Intelligence community knows for a fact actually happened, and instead believe his DraftDodging Ass, and his buddy Pooty Poot.

So far the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief has given me absolutely no reason to trust him or his cronies & comrades. Therefore, it's a no brainer. I'm going with the informed opinion of the men and women, veterans and otherwise, who staff our American intelligence services.

So do you believe a "liar who is a well known liar"

Or.. the head of an organization who's entire job is to find information that could or would threaten the U.S.A.?
That is what the CIA does. Read up on it. It is the Central Intelligence Agency. That agency's job is to track down info that could threaten the U.S.A. Another part of the job: To determine whether threatening info is true or not true or to put it another way..."to gather intelligence and determine the truth of that intelligence

Trump's reputation is that of a liar. I am not making that up. Trump makes things up, not me....

So who do you believe? CIA or Trump? Door number 1, or Door number 2 ?

After Khrushchev pounded his shoe on his desk at the UN, Trump would have grabbed it and spit-polished it for him.
