Joint ODNI, FBI, and CISA Statement on Russian Election Influence Efforts

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the following statement:

“The IC assesses that Russian influence actors manufactured a recent video that falsely depicted individuals claiming to be from Haiti and voting illegally in multiple counties in Georgia. This judgment is based on information available to the IC and prior activities of other Russian influence actors, including videos and other disinformation activities. The Georgia Secretary of State has already refuted the video’s claims as false.

Russian influence actors also manufactured a video falsely accusing an individual associated with the Democratic presidential ticket of taking a bribe from a U.S. entertainer.

This Russian activity is part of Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among Americans, as detailed in prior ODNI election updates. In the lead up to election day and in the weeks and months after, the IC expects Russia to create and release additional media content that seeks to undermine trust in the integrity of the election and divide Americans.”

Oh crap. Now I know it’s true.

Would this be the “51 intelligence agents” that said the the (PROVEN FAKE) “Steele Dossier” was legit?

After that and COVID-19(84) I trust next to nothing.

> US intelligence

Not a credible source.

OMG - you’re serious, aren’t you?

> US intelligence

Not a credible source.

Not only that, it’s an oxymoron.

US Intelligence Agencies:
Weren’t they the ones that also said “ if your aunt had testicles, she’d be your uncle”?

If true. what would the Russians have to gain from such theater, just like satisfaction of sowing dissent and confusion in American voters?

EYES ONLY
lya Kuryakin confronts Napoleon Solo in his hotel room, and Solo returns the stolen Haitian video disc. Kuryakin admits his assignment was to kill Solo and take the disc for his government. Solo replies that he knew this, and had the same orders. They instead burn the contents of the disc, to give neither side the upper hand in the election interference disinformation race. Reuniting with Mr. Waverly, the two have been reassigned to Waverly’s international organization. Waverly gives them a new mission under a new codename: U.N.C.L.E.
