Former CIA Director John Brennan told the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday that Russia "brazenly interfered in the 2016 election process," despite U.S. efforts to warn them off. Brennan testified in an open session of the committee, one of a handful of congressional committee now investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Brennan said he told his Russian counterpart, the head of Russia's FSB, last August that if Russia pursued its efforts to interfere, "it would destroy any near-term prospect for improvement in relations" between the two countries. He said Russia denied any attempts to interfere.
In his opening statement, Brennan also recounted how he had briefed congressional leaders in August of last year, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees about the "full details" of what he knew of Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Brennan said he became convinced last summer that Russia was trying to interfere in the campaign, saying "they were very aggressive."
Brennan said he is "aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign." Brennan said that concerned him, "because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals," and that it raised questions about whether or not the Russians "were able to gain the cooperation of those individuals." Brennan added he didn't know if "collusion existed" between the Russians and those he identified as involved in the Trump campaign.

As usual, it's always someone that isn't credible.
“Brazenly” is meaningless in this context. All countries do whatever they do “brazenly”. That doesn’t mean it amounted to a hill of beans. This is all play acting.
I'm with you... this one's BS.
Nuff said? If not look up Taqqiyya.
He knows about it because he read it in the newspaper.
How did Mexico respond to demands they stop meddling? Ohh...
What evidence did Brennan, the Muslim, present to the committee?
John ‘Taqiyya’ Brennan.
Another example of why NPR should be shut down.
Brennan as a former communist and now a full time Jihadist is not able to tell the truth.
Yo, Brennan, why didn’t you investigate how Mexico was beyond meddling in our recent election with bribes and threats!
Did you investigage the IT Gate with their foreign connections meddling with your rat Congressits computers?
wait, what ?
Obama signed an executive order allowing agencies to share info.
Brennan didn’t share with Clapper ?
Pa-leeeeze!
And still, Democrats continue to hyperventilate about “RUSSIANS!” with absolutely no proof ever presented at any time... but, RUSSIANS!!!
By the way, is there any investigation into Obama’s illegal and documented meddling in Israel’s election?
What evidence did Brennan, the Muslim, present to the committee?
name a single voting machine compromised
name a single vote changed (other than away from Trump maybe)
name a single thing the Russians actually did that was worse than the DNC rigging their own primary
nothing the Russians could have done, positive or negative, would have influenced what the people knew down to their bones about Hillary: the Clinton dynasty and a by proxy third Zero term would not have benefited America
not clicking NPR, but form what I have read, and heard on the news I see there is still no evidence, just accusations by obama appointees, and the liberal, media, bias, scumbag media
The CIA is actively involved in the election process of practically every nation on earth and we think the Russians are the only ones doing it?
But no problem for your demonic goddess, Killary, to sell them uranium...eh?
Brennan as a muslim and a likely enemy islamist. His testimony is useless on that basis.
And the MSM gets another news cycle out it.
This is nothing more than an attempt to distract from investigating the pedophiles that are running scared. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brennan is one of them.
Of all the people I knew at the embassy, NOT ONE defected to Islam. What’s wrong with this cat?
