Then-Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid released a letter in the heat of the 2016 election alleging Trump-Russia collusion even though the CIA director at the time urged him not to, according to a person familiar with their conversation.
Mr. Reids Aug. 27 letter to the FBI appears to mark the first time a Democrat officially accused President Trumps campaign of colluding with the Russian government to hack his partys computers.
The letter has come to represent for conservatives the deep state Obama loyalists leaking unproven allegations to the press against Mr. Trump and his people to ruin the campaign, the transition and the White House.
The evidence of a direct connection between the Russian government and Donald Trumps presidential campaign continues to mount, Mr. Reid wrote to FBI Director James B. Comey.
Mr. Reid wrote and leaked his letter after receiving a secret telephone briefing from then-CIA Director John Brennan.
The retired senator has portrayed the letter as having the blessing of Mr. Brennan, a fierce Trump critic who suggests the president is beholden to Russian President Vladimir Putin for fear of blackmail.
But now the Brennan side rebuts Mr. Reids contention that the then-CIA director was actively trying to leak damaging anti-Trump information during the election.
Nick Shapiro, former deputy chief of staff for Mr. Brennan as CIA director, told The Washington Times that his ex-boss considered the information sensitive. He expressly urged Mr. Reid to confine the information to private discussions with Mr. Comey.
That August, Mr. Brennan was briefing the so called gang of eight congressional leaders on Russian computer hacking and on suspicious that Trump people were involved.
Mr. Shapiro, now a Brennan adviser, provided this version of the Brennan-Reid phone call:

Talk about a conspiracy.....
Everybody CYA in now
Hang ‘em high...
Yep, monumental.
The hack into the DNC computers was done by their own IT guys, the Awan brothers, to garner sensitive information to pass along to their radical muslim friends in Pakistan and elsewhere.
IOW - McLame was being briefed in August then "magically" received the piss-dosier and handed it to the FBI ... remind me again why President Trump and his staff should show ANY amount of respect for that lying sack of sh*t.
Harry Reid is always in it for himself and his own politics, even when he is scheming and in collusion with the Deep State
Brennan still requiring an advisor...
The DNC “gives away the Store” via Wasserman-Schultz’s Pakistani IT team and has the temerity to accuse the Republicans.
The MSM colludes with the DNC & ?? (Pakistanis, Russians, Drug Cartels, Epstein’s Tropical Tourism, Inc - ??)
Everyone I talk to, is still enthusiastic as about him as ever.
It appears that the real collusion is between the Democrats and the CIA.
It goes far beyond Obama holdovers.
Does that mean that weed Er Reid disclosed security info? If so why is he not charged??
Well well, Dingy Harry is part of the conspiracy. That adds a lot of conspirators to the list when all his staff are included
It appears Brennan was in on the Trump attack from the beginning.

Looks like Dingy Harry wrote the letter and sent it to Comey.
Agree they should not show any respect to these TRAITORS. Not bothering to follow up with charges is what caused this entire mess. Losing respect for the so called good guys who refuse to prosecute.
