From the briefings:
"We assess with high confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election, the consistent goals of which were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. When it appeared to Moscow that Secretary Clinton was likely to win the election, the Russian influence campaign then focused on undermining her expected [why expected?] presidency." "We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him [how to substantiate this delusional assessment?]. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence [Could you please quantify the actual difference between 'moderate confidence' and 'high confidence'?]."
