https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kirstjen-nielsen-homeland-security-trump-russia_us_5b50ad1ce4b0fd5c73c30dfaHomeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Thursday denied having seen evidence that Russia intended to swing the 2016 election in President Donald Trumps favor, as U.S. intelligence agencies have determined.
I havent seen any evidence that the attempt to interfere in our election infrastructure was to favor a particular political party, Nielson responded when asked about Russias intentions Thursday during the Aspen Security Forum.
What weve seen on the foreign influence side is they were attempting to intervene and cause chaos on both sides, she continued.
Nielsen made a similar assertion in May, which the Department of Homeland Security later walked back.

Is she FSB or GRU?

Did she see and hear Putin say he wanted Trump to win, or did she somehow miss that?

+1, probably the most under reported part of the Trumps Treason Treaties with Putin

REPORTER (Jeff Mason from Reuters): President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
PUTIN: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the US/Russia relationship back to normal.

warrant application for spy Butina.
They are all covering Putin's ass so as to cover their own.
It really is so obvious now, the whole world has one eye open and the other is fluttering.

As she has done over the government snatching babies at the border and now this.
Her career as a serious professional is over. She and Kelly are complicit in covering up the Trumpster's worst instincts and decisions.
May they all rot in Hell!
