Clapper: US Intel Identified Suspect In Kremlin-Wikileaks Transfer Of DNC Emails

Former director of national intelligence James Clapper says U.S. intelligence officials last year identified a person suspected of transferring thousands of hacked DNC emails to Wikileaks on behalf of the Russian government.

“We had a suspect,” Clapper told Yahoo! News’ Michael Isikoff in an interview for the “Skullduggery” podcast.

Clapper, who left government on Jan. 20, 2017, said that by the time he left office, U.S. officials had identified a “cut-out” selected by Russian intelligence to pass nearly 20,000 stolen DNC emails to Wikileaks in April 2016. (RELATED: Clapper: No ‘Smoking Gun Evidence’ Of Collusion)

Clapper said of the cut-out’s identity that U.S. intelligence officials were “pretty confident at the time but not sufficient enough to publicize it.”

“I don’t know whether the suspicions we had at the time were conveyed [to Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller] or whether they were validated,” he told Isikoff.

Clapper’s comments mark the first indication that the U.S. government identified a suspect in the DNC email hack.

Wikileaks released the DNC emails on July 22, 2016, during the Democratic National Convention. The documents served to fracture the Democratic party because they showed that top DNC officials appeared to favor Hillary Clinton over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, has denied that he received the emails from the Russian government.

“Our source is not the Russian government,” Assange told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in a Jan. 3, 2017 interview.

But Clapper told Isikoff that the Russian government used a cut-out in order to ensure Assange “plausible deniability.”

“In April, Russia used a third party ‘cut-out’ to send more than 19,000 DNC emails and more than 8,000 documents to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, attempting to cover its tracks and to give WikiLeaks some degree of deniability in knowing the source of the leaks,” Clapper wrote in his new book, “Facts and Fears: Hard Truths From a Life in Intelligence.”

Wikileaks also released thousands of emails stolen from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. The website began publishing the documents in October 2016.

Clapper did not suggest that the Trump campaign was aware of the Kremlin and Wikileaks’ activities. He has regularly stated that he saw no “smoking gun evidence” of Trump campaign collusion when he worked in government.

Nancy Pelosi Calls All People Of Faith ‘Hypocrites’ For Not Railing Against Immigration Policy

Nancy Pelosi called Attorney General Jeff Sessions and “all people of faith in our country” hypocrites for not demanding a stop to immigration policy enforcement.

Pelosi lambasted Sessions for quoting the Bible and chastised people of faith for not calling for a path to citizenship for DACA recipients. She also criticized him for not demanding an end to the separation of children from families of illegal immigrants during the prosecution of adults.

Pelosi’s comments came in light of President Donald Trump’s stated refusal on Friday to sign an immigration bill that House Republicans were finalizing. (RELATED: WaPo Compares Sessions to ‘Slaveholders’ After He Quotes Bible Passage Related To Immigration Policy)

“The very hypocrisy of the Attorney General to quote the Bible, the hypocrisy of all people of faith in our country not to clamor for what the administration is doing to end — whether it’s to deprive the dreamers of the respect they deserve or whether its taking babies away from their mothers and fathers,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi then claimed that her interest in politics stemmed from her “concern about children” and her experience as a mother of five. Pelosi has also made statements in the past in support of Planned Parenthood and late term abortions. (RELATED: Nancy Pelosi Says Republicans ‘Dishonor God’ By Defunding Planned Parenthood)

She then called the Trump administration hypocrites and urged “right thinking” Republicans to bring an end to what she called the “un-American activities that is being put forth by the President of the United States, by the Republicans in congress, and by this Attorney General.”

“For this administration to pose as people of faith and pose as people who care about family and children is of a height of hypocrisy that knows no bounds,” Pelosi said.

House leadership also refused to debate the Uniting and Securing America (USA) Act of 2018, to the chagrin of some Catholic leaders. The bill would have protected DACA recipients from deportation and provided a pathway for those among them who meet certain qualifications to gain citizenship, but would also increase border security.

Immigration whiplash? Trump says he won't sign Ryan's moderate bill, then WH apparently tries walking it back

President Trump on Friday morning said he would not sign a moderate immigration bill currently working its way through Congress – although by the afternoon, the White House seemed to try walking it back, prolonging a day of confusion amid Congress' long fight for an immigration policy overhaul.

In an interview with “Fox and Friends”, Trump said that while he was “looking at both” immigration proposals in Congress– one spearheaded by Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and the more moderate bill proposed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. – he would not sign Ryan’s so-called compromise bill because it lacked an emphasis on border security.

“I certainly won’t sign the more moderate one,” Trump said outside the White House on the eight-year anniversary of the Obama administration’s announcement of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. “I need a bill that gives this country tremendous border security.”

A senior White House official speaking on condition of anonymity, however, told The Associated Press later in the day that Trump misspoke. The official said Trump believed that Fox News' Steve Doocy was referring to a separate push by Republican moderates to force a floor vote on a number of immigration bills — not the compromise bill.

Ryan’s 293-page bill, which was presented to lawmakers on Thursday, does include a number of measures aimed at winning over the GOP’s more moderate factions and even Democrats such as providing a path to citizenship for young immigrants.

But the bill also allocates $25 billion to border security – including technology, roadways and money for Trump’s controversial border wall – authorizes National Guard troops at the U.S.-Mexico border, and calls for the deployment of a biometric entry-exit system for all entry ports that has long been under debate.
