FBI’s James Comey Opposed Naming Russia As An Election Meddler, Second Source Confirms
We have two source confirmation of this story now.
Notice the language. It is almost certainly a *current* FBI official
FBI Director James Comey privately argued against having his bureau sign onto a statement saying the Russian government was meddling in the U.S. election, CNBC first reported on Monday, citing “a former FBI official.”
A source familiar with the interagency discussions confirms to The Huffington Post that Comey declined to do so because, specifically, he was concerned the statement was coming too close to the election. The source who spoke to HuffPost is not a former FBI official and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
