The tweet made its way to the committee, with the result that Comey and Rogers were confronted with it. Again they said there was no basis for the assertion. “We’ve offered no opinion, have no view ... on potential impact, because it’s not something that we’ve looked at,” Comey said. “ It certainly wasn’t our intention to say that today because we don’t have any information on that subject. And it wasn’t something that was looked at.” Facebook Twitter Pinterest
Trump’s false tweets on Russia corrected live at hearing
The FBI director said it became clear early on in the investigation that it was Vladimir Putin’s intention to help the Trump campaign with Russian intervention, because of the strength of his hatred for Hillary Clinton. Comey confirmed that the FBI began the counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016, remarking that for such an inquiry, that was “a relatively short period of time”. He said it was “impossible to say” when it would end. He noted it was not referred to in an intelligence community assessment of the Russian intervention presented to Obama and Trump in late December.
