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:

Harry Reid is, and has always been, an evil little man.
I knew Reid was involved and this means McCain is much more involved than just passing info to the FBI
It is most unfortunate that we will honor Senator McCain on his death which is near. I will honor Captain McCain the warrior pilot of honor. He went through hell as a captive and yes he did talk. You can make anyone talk with torture. He should not be castigated for this. Captain McCain deserves our honor. Senator McCain deserves none.
Deep State protection.

Brennan is going to hang. Thanks jazusamo.
I guess Harry got his “accurate” information on the Trump-Russia collusion from the same guy who gave him the information about Romney’s taxes.
Oh that old Dingy Harry. That broad really clocked him in the head, didn’t she? He’s now making up more things than ever before. At least he is a consistent liar.
One day we will find out how dirty he was as Gaming Commissioner in Nevada? You think the Mob didn’t “help” his elections? Come on. They know a good “political john” when they see one.
Sounds to me like the collusion was between Brennan and the Russians and it blew up in Brennan’s face and everyone he suckered. This would explain why Brennan has been lashing out so irrationally...he is running scared.
Wonder if Brennan was using Tyler Drumheller to feed crap to Sid Blumenthal and thus manipulate Hillary and the State Dept?
Drumheller just happens to be dead and the dead tell no tales.
The Mainstream press is not Interested.
A gift from Obama.
>Everybody CYA in now
One only CYA’s when there is PUNISHMENT involved.
Don’t know ‘bout you, but ‘firing’ isn’t really a punishment.
As far as I’ve been keeping up, NOBODY has been indicted, arrested, let alone JAILED, even w/ the significant #\scope of actual CRIMES (just in the news...I can just imagine what’s ‘behind the scenes’).
They’ll give a statement or two of ‘blah blah’ and it will all be quietly swept under the rug.
Sure the Session-brigade members will be along soon...
p
By this time, Harry had already admitted to being a liar.

why would anyone believe him ? oh wait...it’s Comey...nevermind
***One day we will find out how dirty he was as Gaming Commissioner in Nevada?

Oh my the mob is in his pocket, or rather Reid is in their pocket. He tried to pull something they didn’t like and they beat him up a little
The gaming commission?
He walked in late when the honest members were in the process of denying a mobster permission to buy/open or become involved in a casino when Reid appeared.
He said “give it to him”
I wrote Reid’s only biography. Yes, he is mobbed up. The exacvt connections are hard to pin down, it isn’t like The Godfather. Check back and when I get time I’ll post the videos I did that have been held back because of the Washington dirt.
