http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42864372<snip>
The director of the CIA expects that Russia will target the US mid-term elections later this year.
Mike Pompeo told the BBC there had been no significant diminishing of Russian attempts at subversion in Europe and the US.
He also said North Korea may have the ability to strike the US with nuclear missiles "in a handful of months".
The US intelligence community has said that it believes Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
Mr Pompeo, who briefs the president most mornings, dismissed as "drivel" recent claims that US President Donald Trump was not up to the job.

OK then - guess that's why nothing has been done re his own comment.

Well, perhaps they are doing something... like helping the Russians (as well as themselves).
ps. if Trump were actually up to the job, he'd be doing his job protecting the country
and our constitution instead of colluding and conspiring.

why won't he just let the FBI do its job while he does his?
Nothing to be worried about.
