Following a federal indictment of Russians accused of meddling in the U.S election, a former CIA director on Friday said the U.S. probably meddles in other countries elections, as well.
The Russian embassy flagged his comments.
When asked whether the U.S. interferes in other countries elections, James Woolsey said, Well, only for a very good cause in the interests of democracy." [Antifar's note: ]
Oh, probably, but it was for the good of the system in order to avoid communists taking over, he told Laura Ingraham on her Fox News show on Friday night.
Woolsey served as CIA director under former President Clinton.
His comments follow a federal indictment released on Friday that accused 13 Russian individuals and three Russian groups of attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election.
