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.

Astute, you are.. :)
That's the exact point I was going to make...after U-1 Putin owned Hillary. Of course he wanted her to win.
And in other news, Franco is still dead.
Didn’t John Brennan like to visit children in Arab prisons - maybe some of them will stand up for him....
Maybe Brennen will drown in a canoe accident
Well, that suggests there could be two sides to this.
If our our "superpower" enemy wanted Hillary to win, that could indicate that Russia was confident they could browbeat and intimidate her, and get the upper hand on the United States.
Conversely if Russia wanted her to win, it might suggest they had a socialist comradery with her. A simpatico dream date so to speak.
Or both!
"We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?" Clinton asked Lavrov."You got it wrong," Lavrov said. "This says 'peregruzka,' which means overcharged."
The two top diplomats, who met in Geneva, laughed and Clinton explained: "We won't let you do that to us, I promise."
Well, she’s stupid, weak, and corrupt. What sort of moron would a person have to be to imagine that Putin would prefer DJT over her?
“What posts on FR stays on FR. The media won’t touch most of what is uncovered here daily.”
Especially since FR brought down Dan Rather.
It’s happened before.......
I don’t care who the Russkies support. I do want to know what they think. The Bolshekrats don’t like Putin, they think he is a thug. Stalin or Mao is another question.
Will Senators Johnson, Grassley, and Graham do something, what can they do or are these Senators "Toothless Tigers"?
