Author Ed Klein told Friday's edition of 'Fox & Friends' that he has a "high level" source who told him that FBI Director James Comey personally called president-elect Donald Trump and told him that there is no evidence that Russia hacked the U.S. election specifically to help Trump, and that the only person who thinks that such a thing happened is CIA Director John Brennan. Klein says that Comey told Trump that Brennan has politicized the operations of the CIA "in the same way that Eric Holder politicized the Justice Department."





ED KLEIN: What I can tell you is that James Comey, the director of the FBI, called Donald Trump and said there is no credible evidence that Vladimir Putin or any other Russian intended to throw the election to Trump, and that the only person in the entire intelligence community that thinks that is John Brennan of the CIA...



STEVE DOOCY: Is there any suggestion that this is a political hitjob?



KLEIN: The interesting thing is that what James Comey... told the president-elect is that he believes that John Brennan has politicized the CIA in the same way that Eric Holder politicized the Justice Department...



BRIAN KILMEADE: How do you know that? You know that James Comey called Donald Trump?



KLEIN: I know that from very good sources, of course, they had this conversation not once, but several conversations...



The interesting thing is that there is a fierce debate within the intelligence community, especially between the CIA and the FBI --whose job by the way is counter-espionage in this country. Counter-cyber attacks, that's what the FBI does-- Over whether there was any intention. And Comey doesn't believe that there was any intention. He is not saying there wasn't hacking... but he doesn't believe for a second that--



'Why,' he says to the President-elect, 'would Vladimir Putin prefer Donald Trump, who is going to build up our Navy and Army, who is a tough guy, why would he prefer him to Hillary Clinton, who is going to continue this passive Obama foreign policy. It just doesn't make sense...



I don't think John Brennan['s position at the CIA] will survive Donald Trump.
