precise42 ,whereas1 on ,november #ac1 #bjai1 when asked whether there was any factual basis to support the allegation that ,ukraine interfered in the #bjaf election1 ,deputy ,assistant ,secretary of

#bjai1 former ,national ,security ,council ,senior ,director for ,europe and ,russia1 ,fiona ,hill testified before the ,permanent ,select ,committee on ,intelligence of the ,house of ,representatives1 ,based on questions and statements ,i have heard1 some of you on this ,committee appear to believe that ,russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country--and that perhaps1 somehow1 for some reason1 ,ukraine did4 ,this is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the ,russian security services themselves42 and ,whereas1 on ,december #i1 #bjai1 ,director of the ,federal ,bureau of ,investigation1 ,christopher ,a4 ,wray stated1 ,we have no information that indicates that ,ukraine interfered with the #bjaf ,presidential election43 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7 supports the conclusions of ,united ,states intelligence agencies that the government of ,russian ,president ,vladimir ,putin1 and not the ,government of ,ukraine interfered in the #bjaf ,united ,states ,presidential elections2 7#b7 recognizes that disinformation campaigns run by ,russian intelligence operatives have
