Deep State warns that Russia will target the 2018 midterm elections. Are they already making excuses for a crushing Democrat defeat in the midterms?

Three top Deep State officials told a Senate panel Tuesday that they have seen Russian activity and intentions to target this November’s midterm elections. The officials, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, National Intelligence Director Dan Coats, and NSA director Adm. Mike Rogers, didn’t describe the activity, other than to say it was related to information warfare.

Wasn’t it the Liberal paragon of lies and deception Obama himself who told us that the claim of election-fixing is baseless and impossible to carry out because balloting is overseen at the state level?

While the reports of meddling is troubling (if true), more troubling is the fraudulent and biased reporting of the Mainstream Media and Obama weaponizing the IRS, FBI, State Department and other agencies. Who knows how long that list is?

Three of the nation’s top intelligence officials confirmed Tuesday that they have seen evidence of Russian meddling in the upcoming midterm elections — part of what they say is Moscow’s escalating cyber assault on American and European democracies.

“We have seen Russian activity and intentions to have an impact on the next election cycle,” CIA Director Mike Pompeo told the Senate intelligence committee.

National Intelligence Director Dan Coats and Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency, agreed that Russia’s interference is ongoing. “This is not going to change or stop,” Rogers said.

They didn’t describe the activity, other than to say it was related to information warfare.

“This is pervasive,” Coats said. “The Russians have a strategy that goes well beyond what is happening in the United States. While they have historically tried to do these types of things, clearly in 2016 they upped their game. They took advantage, a sophisticated advantage of social media. They are doing that not only in the United States but doing it throughout Europe and perhaps elsewhere.”

U.S. intelligence concluded Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election, which has led to the current FBI investigation into possible Trump campaign connections. Russia denies the allegations and President Donald Trump has called the FBI probe a witch hunt.

The three testified in Congress on the same day that the intelligence community released its annual report on global threats. The report predicted Russian intelligence agencies will disseminate more false information over Liberal state-controlled media Russian state-controlled media and through fake online personas to spread anti-American views and exacerbate social and political divides in the United States.
