Intelligence Chief Criticizes ‘Disparagement’ of Findings on Russian Hacking

New York Times
Matt Flegenheimer and Scott Shane 5 January 2017

Who: Russia
What: Election hacking
Where: Washington DC
When: October
Why: Unknown

The CIA believes that the Russians hacked into the American election. The CIA believes that Russians created “fake news” and hacked into the email servers of the two parties. However, they do no believe that the Russians hacked the election votes. The two parties and the intelligence agencies are now figuring out what to do.

My opinion is that the two parties should be more worried and together on this hacking.
I learned that the Russians did not hack the actual election results, however they did produce “fake news.”
This affects the American public as we could have been lied to by Russian hackers.

How do we know the Russians hacked the United States?
Why did Russia hack us?
When did we learn about this?
