‘the NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process’
בערך א שעה שפעטער איז געוועהן די אויסטויש אין קאנגרעס
Rep. Jim Himes: So thanks to the modern technology that’s in front of me right here I’ve got a tweet from the President an hour ago saying, ‘the NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process’ so that’s not quite accurate, that tweet?”
Comey: “I’m sorry, I haven’t been following anybody on twitter while I’ve been sitting here
Himes: “Well I can read it to you, it says ‘the NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process.’ This tweet has gone out to millions of Americans, 2.6 million to be exact. Is the tweet, as I read it to you, ‘the NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process,’ is that accurate?”
Comey: “It’s hard for me to react to that let me tell you what we understand the state of, or what we’ve said is. We’ve offered no opinion, have no view, have no information, on potential impact because it’s never something that we looked at.”
Himes: “OK, so it’s not too far of a logical leap , that the assertion that you have told the Congress that there was no influence on the electoral process is not quite right.”
Comey: “It certainly wasn’t our intention to say that today, because we don’t have any information on that subject. That’s not something that was looked at.”
