Franks: If Russia Gave Voters Accurate Info, They Did the Media’s Job

‘Whatever they might have done, was to try to use information in a way that may have affected something that they believe was in their best interest’

RUSH EXCERPT:
FRANKS: "My staff informs me that none of the relevant intelligence committees have been directly or officially informed on it. Now, perhaps, that’s incorrect information. If it is, I’ll correct it. But the truth is, and I think your own station sources would admit, that most of what we’re talking about now is based on leaks. And I — I’m all for doing what’s necessary to protect the election here, but there’s no suggestion that Russia hacked into our voting systems or anything like that. They — if anything, whatever they might have done, was to try to use information in a way that may have affected something that they believe was in their best interest. But the bottom line, if they succeeded, if Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done."
