Even Barack Obama's Atty. Gen. Disagrees Russia Hacked the Elections "We Didn't See Any Techincal Interference in the Election from the Russians"

Speaking at an event hosted by Politico, Lynch explained that U.S. intelligence officers had been investigating the hacks since the summer and weren’t sure what they could “talk about publicly.”



“This is an ongoing process,” she said when asked about what the government is doing to maintain confidence in the election process.



“We’ve been talking about this now for some time since the summer when we began the investigation into the hacks of the DNC and the DCCC and trying to ascertain who was behind that,” she explained. “There’s a number of things we do, a lot of which we talk about publicly, a lot of which we don’t talk about publicly in terms of just investigation and the responses that we have.



The attorney general added that the government wasn’t sure “what [it] could say about this publicly, and so that’s why you saw the intelligence community release a statement in October, a month before the election, letting people know that the intelligence community had determined that Russia was behind the hacks themselves.”
