The Hill: Intel agencies reject request for House committee briefing, citing larger probe
The Intelligence Community (IC) is refusing to provide the House Intelligence Committee with a requested Thursday briefing on Russian interference with the U.S. election, citing an ongoing review of the matter requested by President Obama.
According to a statement, the IC will not be offering comment to Congress until it completes that review, which will cover foreign interference in the electoral process since 2008.
"Once the review is complete in the coming weeks, the Intelligence Community stands ready to brief Congress — and will make those findings available to the public consistent with protecting intelligence sources and methods," the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said in a statement.
The Obama review is scheduled to be completed by the time Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20.

Always the same story
I don't think that the Russian Federation was able to rig the elections through remotely accessing our voting machines. However it is proven that they were able to remotely access the Democratic national conventions computers. The cyber warfare of the Russian federation's military is without question with the ability to remotely access are weapons like the aerial drones, which happened to a surveillance drone that the Central Intelligence had stolen over the border of Afghanistan. It is obvious that the Russian federation's military was operating within Iran using their super computers to gain control over that highly sophisticated aerial drone.
