Clapper: In My Mind and in My Opinion, the Russians Did Affect the Election

EXCERPT:

CLAPPER: "But that — since I became the private citizen, knowing what I know of what the Russians did, the massive effort they undertook and the variety of means that they used and the number of millions and millions of voters they got to, to me it stretches credulity, as I said in the book, and logic not to think that they didn’t swing the election given the fact it turned out less than 80,000 votes in three states. So that is what I would call an informed opinion. I don’t have the empirical evidence to go with it, but just thinking about it and seeing and understanding better since I left the government that the full magnitude of what they did, in my mind and in my opinion, they did affect the election."
