Former CIA Director John Brennan said on Wednesday that at least some American voters were swayed as a result of Russia’s 2016 election interference operation, a statement that went further than the official assessments of U.S. intelligence agencies and lawmakers.

Speaking alongside other former intelligence figures at the National Press Club in Washington, Brennan said he was “sure, personally, that those Russian efforts changed the mind of at least one voter.”

“Whether it was one voter or a million voters, I don’t know,” he added.

But he said there was no question there was some effect – possibly affecting the final result itself, which brought Republican Donald Trump to the presidency.

“How many, in which states, I don’t know. Whether it changed the outcome, I don’t know,” Brennan said.

Brennan, trying to give himself cover before he is interviewed by the DOJ. Let’s just hope he doesn’t get e ‘friendly’ attorney that will help him avoid his Waterloo.

Brennan still running his mouth in the press? He’s obviously terrified of prosecution. /s

If any votes were influenced by Russian, they didn’t influence enough to make Hillary win.

Yes.

He's laying the ground work for his defense.

'Yes, I was involved in illegal activity to investigate then candidate Trump BUT I HONESTLY BELIEVED HE WAS COMPROMISED BY THE RUSSIANS. You can't send me to jail for believing something I believed was true. I believed I was protecting America.'

The Democratic Media Complex will call it The True Patriot Defense.

So that means you don't know shit or you're full of it.

I believe the three people that I want to see in jail the most who are officials in our government or war in the past are Brennan Obama and Clinton. Soros of course is another but he’s not really part of our government although he has bought much of it.
