Another James Comey wild card just got dropped on the 2016 election

First, James B. Comey was Republicans' Public Enemy No. 1 for not recommending charges against Hillary Clinton. Then, the FBI director was a GOP hero for disclosing new emails related to Clinton's investigation just before the election. Donald Trump even conceded that the electoral system “might not be as rigged as I thought.”
And to this day, Clinton blames her loss on Comey.
But as he often does, Jim Comey giveth and Jim Comey taketh away.
The Washington Post just broke the news that Comey has joined with the CIA's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election was intended to help elect Trump as president — not just to undermine the U.S. electoral process more generally.
CIA Director James O. Brennan has told agency employees that both Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper are, in Brennan's words, in agreement with the CIA's assessment of “the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election,” according to U.S. officials.

If all this were TRUE news, they would have briefed the House Intelligence Committee yesterday. They did not and until they do, I call it FAKE news.
