How seriously do you take the CIA’s conclusion with high confidence that Russia sought to influence the U.S. election on behalf of Donald Trump?

Most Americans take seriously the intelligence that our CIA gathers and the threat levels that emanate from that agency.  We will learn more as information is dispersed on what the U.S. intelligence community (17 intel agencies) has gleaned over the last several months.  The CIA has high confidence through technology tracking, diplomatic sources and spies that work for U.S. allies … that Putin, former KGB officer, was directly involved in cyber- hacking and a disinformation program that definitely disrupted and influenced our 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump.     Why does Putin want Trump as leader of the United States?  That’s the question to ask?  Follow the money and the motives.  This was a huge achievement on Russia’s part, who has a history of using cyber-hacking to undermine democracies in Europe.  This cannot be tolerated or go uncontested: Watergate pales in comparison!   The resounding call for a bipartisan select committee to investigate these high crimes will soon be met.  Our Founders saw the threat of our country being beholden to foreign powers and set up constitutional remedies for such situations.
