Brennan’s purported intelligence was so flimsy and comically absurd that it only further exposes the fraudulent nature of the assessment.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified a long-buried House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) report exposing the fraud at the heart of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) released in January 2017.
That ICA — produced by the CIA, FBI, and NSA at the behest of President Obama — claimed that Vladimir Putin helped Donald Trump win the presidency. It became a weaponized talking point, casting a shadow over Trump’s legitimacy before he even took office.
The HPSCI launched its investigation into the ICA on January 25, 2017, just days after Trump was sworn in. Then-Chairman Devin Nunes, who would later play a pivotal role in unraveling the Russiagate hoax, apparently sensed something was deeply wrong. But the committee’s investigation was met with years of stonewalling and obstruction from intelligence agencies. The report just released dates back to September 2020 but was kept from the public until now. Only now, under Gabbard’s leadership, is it finally seeing the light of day.
And it is explosive.
The report doesn’t just detail flaws in tradecraft or analytic sloppiness. It documents an intentional fraud — driven by then-CIA Director John Brennan — designed to paint Trump as a Russian asset and delegitimize his presidency.
The ICA’s Purpose Was Always Political
The ICA’s core purpose was to tie Trump’s victory to Putin, and the HPSCI report makes clear that this narrative was constructed from day one. Crucially, it was not supported by actual intelligence.
One key document, newly released by Gabbard just days ago, serves as a critical anchor: the draft President’s Daily Brief (PDB) from Dec. 8, 2016. It stated that Russian activity was “probably intended...

==============================================
Brennan’s biggest fabrications as an ex-CIA director?
<>Testifying before a congressional committee
<>lying that he “did not know” who had commissioned the bogus Steele dossier br<><>and that he “did not know” whether the CIA relied on it for intel assessments

John Brennan lying to Congress in 2014 wrt CIA's access to Senate computers., and whether
CIA officials under his supervision had improperly accessed computer files of congressional staffers.
As I’ve posted before, every time I see that evil Brennan’s on my TV, it is in mortal danger of being punched off its stand!

The feeling is mutual.

Charge Brennan first, alone.
Brennan as a young radical voted for the Communist Party USA’s candidate, Gus Hall, for President! Probably why Obama selected him as CIA director.
Nuff said.
