Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan told NBC News Chuck Todd on Sundays Meet the Press that he learned since retiring that Russians began hacking Hillary Clintons emails on the day Donald Trump joked about it in July 2016.
The problem: that widely-cited claim is untrue a piece of fake news evidence, drawn from one of the indictments by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, that has fueled unfounded theories that Trump colluded with the Russians during the presidential election.
Last week, Brennan wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in which he confirmed Trumps joke at a July 27, 2016 press conference about inviting the Russians to find the 33,000 emails missing from Clintons illicit private server had prompted him to start a large counter-intelligence investigation into the Trump campaign. In addition, Brennan suggested that he had learned from media reports, since leaving his post in 2017, that there was further evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian hackers.

How about freakin psycho.
he was in charge of the CIA in July, 2016 but he didn’t find out about it until after he retired in January of 2017?? he further proved how incompetent he was at his job...
Is he another one of those folks who thinks computer programming, hacking, etc. is magic?????????
It is quite brilliant to force Brennan and just Brennan to prove collusion, First because there is no less believable guy on the planet. Second because Brennan will go splat well before November whereas Mueller will probably drag it out beyond.
>>>in which he confirmed Trumps joke at a July 27, 2016 press conference about inviting the Russians to find the 33,000 emails missing from Clintons illicit private server had prompted him to start a large counter-intelligence investigation into the Trump campaign<<<
I remember Candidate Trump saying that at a MAGA Rally, not a Press Conference. Just looked it up, the Rally in Doral, FL.
I heard from an anonymous source that it was Brennan that ordered the hit. Of course I am just reporting a story as accurately as as the NYT does.
We need a full congressional investigation/hearings on how Brennan ever got his positions with the CIA given his background and insanity.
