Fox News: John Brennan Suppressed Intel Saying Russia Wanted Hillary Clinton to Win

Fox News’ Ed Henry reported Tuesday evening that Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has declassified information calling into question the conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump.

Henry told Tucker Carlson on Tucker Carlson Tonight that the new information would suggest that John Brennan, who headed the Central Intelligence Agency under President Barack Obama, “also had intel saying, actually, Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win because she was a known quantity, she had been secretary of state, and Vladimir Putin’s team thought she was more malleable, while candidate Donald Trump was unpredictable.”

Former National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz made a similar claim in an article on FoxNews.com April 22:

House Intelligence Committee staff told me that after an exhaustive investigation reviewing intelligence and interviewing intelligence officers, they found that Brennan suppressed high-quality intelligence suggesting that Putin actually wanted the more predictable and malleable Clinton to win the 2016 election.

Instead, the Brennan team included low-quality intelligence that failed to meet intelligence community standards to support the political claim that Russian officials wanted Trump to win, House Intelligence Committee staff revealed. They said that CIA analysts also objected to including that flawed, substandard information in the assessment.

On Tuesday, Henry said that he had obtained independent confirmation of the claims made by Fleitz in that report.

For three years, the received wisdom in Washington has been that 17 intelligence agencies concluded that Russia had interfered in the election to help Trump win. It then transpired that only four agencies had actually been involved.

Gee, we knew all this back in 2016-2017! Surprised Breitbart is so late coming up to speed to what FR has been discussing for years.

[Titus-Maximus]

this was obvious years ago - after Uranium One, Vladimir Putin knew exactly which door on the whore house to knock to get Hillary to do an unspeakable acts for money. They paid her bogus slush fund millions to get it done, and paid Bill $500K for a 40 minute speech.

America has not been gas-lit, they have been Alinskyed!

[Cold Heart]

They thought Hillary was more malleable.

I guess they saw the video of her getting stuffed into the van.

You: Gee, we knew all this back in 2016-2017! Surprised Breitbart is so late coming up to speed to what FR has been discussing for years.

Article: Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has declassified information...

Gee, I don't recall reading classified proof on FR. Can you link it?

Thanks.

Wouldn’t this be collusion with the Russians?

[livius]

I think Putin even said something to that effect - that the Russians wanted Hillary to win - when all this started.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

peregruzka!

Now that word should have been plastered on Hillary’s rear end.

Analyst: “We have evidence that Russia wants Hillary to win.”
Brennan: “I don’t see how that’s useful to us.”
Analyst: “Sorry.”
Brennan: “Do we have any evidence that Russia wants Trump to win?”
Analyst: “Absolutely not. They’re afraid of him”
Brennan: “That’s not very helpful.”
Analyst: “Sorry.”
Brennan: “Tell you what — let’s go with the Russia Wants Trump thing, and ditch all the evidence about Hillary, OK?”
Analyst: “You got it.”

Brennan should swing, not just for his crimes at the end of the usurpation, but his role in setting up the usurpation.
He was the cleaner who got rid of inconvenient documents and people to pave the way for it.

America has not been gas-lit, they have been Alinskyed!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the greatest Alinsky ever was “birther”, to smear anyone who wanted the Constitution upheld.

Amazing how many on the right jumped on that bandwagon.

We @ FR ripped that apart almost as it came out of Hillary's mouth.

The "17" (there's that number again) includes the intelligence division\depts of other organizations.

As an example, each branch of the military to include the coast guard has it's own dept\didvion of intelligence. Does anybody think they were brought in to review the info and give their assessment?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks bitt.

Those agencies involved need to have wholesale firing of employees or the agencies completely abolished. Smaller government is critical for freedom and liberty.

Hillary can be bought, of course they wanted Hillary.

[CJ Wolf]

What posts on FR stays on FR. The media won’t touch most of what is uncovered here daily.

[KarlInOhio]

Hillary can be bought, of course they wanted Hillary.

I beg to differ, sir.

A Clinton can only be rented like a room at an Arkansas whorehouse. As soon as the money runs out, so does the Clinton. :-)

My opinion is that the ideal result for the Russians would have been Hillary winning in the Electoral College because she was already on their payroll, but President Trump winning the popular vote so that the left and right would be at each others' throats for at least four years. They got the second part even if they didn't get the first.
