John Brennan: The Indictments Against 13 Twitter Trolls Proves The Vast Conspiracy I Peddled To a Gullible Media DOJ statement and indictments reveal the extent and motivations of Russian interference in 2016 election. Claims of a �hoax� in tatters. My take: Implausible that Russian actions did not influence the views and votes of at least some Americans. — John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) February 16, 2018

Now that's some goalpost moving. I think Americans were led to believe -- by media and their intel leakers (cough, cough) -- that there would be more than 13 internet trolls as proof of a vast treasonous conspiracy. https://t.co/CYIqK7itme — Mollie (@MZHemingway) February 16, 2018



This is almost as huge as the revelation that the RUSSIANS spent a whole $150,000 on FaceBook ads. This is almost as huge as the revelation that the RUSSIANS spent a whole $150,000 on FaceBook ads. With the weekend coming up, why not bookmark this With the weekend coming up, why not bookmark this great Lee Smith piece about how John Brennan targeted James Comey in a political operation to get Comey to help Hillary out? Really good stuff, and worth a fresh read now that the RUSSIA Hoax is now, indeed, in tatters. Really good stuff, and worth a fresh read now that the RUSSIA Hoax is now, indeed, in tatters. Brennan has himself previously taken credit for initiating the [FBI/DOJ RUSSIA probe]. While on Meet the Press, Brennan suggested that the British sent their intelligence on to the FBI, in his May testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, he indicated it came from him directly. "I was aware," Brennan said in May, "of intelligence and information about contacts between Russian officials and U.S. persons that raised concerns in my mind about whether or not those individuals were cooperating with the Russians, either in a witting or unwitting fashion, and it served as the basis for the FBI investigation to determine whether such collusion--cooperation occurred." Brennan continued: "I wanted to make sure that every information and bit of intelligence that we had was shared with the bureau [FBI] so that they could take it. It was well beyond my mandate as director of CIA to follow on any of those leads that involved U.S. persons. But I made sure that anything that was involving U.S. persons, including anything involving the individuals involved in the Trump campaign, was shared with the bureau." In other words, the FBI investigation didn�t start when the Australians, according to the Times--or the Brits, according to Brennan�s most recent version of the story--contacted the FBI after the Papadopoulos-Downer meeting. No, it started when the director of the CIA decided to start an investigation, when Brennan passed on information and intelligence to the FBI, and signaled that the bureau better act on it. By the way, if persistent internet spammers are signs of a RUSSIAN conspiracy-so-vast against the US, Brennan and Comey might want to check out a serial felon in the comments calling herself Agent LACE WIGS.
