(Just because the Trump team brings this up as a distraction from the Epstein betrayal doesn't mean it isn't real. I reported on the Jan 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment the day it was released to the public. I said it was obviously bullshit and that the folks who wrote it didn't even stand behind it as was evidenced by the disclaimers printed on each and every page. It was a crock of shit and back in 2020 hand written notes from John Brennan were published that showed he and Barack Obama and a number of his high ranking officials got together in July 2016 to hatch a plan to smear Trump with allegations, trumped up allegations, suggesting Russia and Putin were trying to hack the election to get him in office instead of Hillary. Obama then used the FISA court, illegally, to try to spy on the Trump campaign and disrupt it in order to help Hillary win the election. These are all facts. They happened. I covered much of it in real time as it was happening. Just because it is being used to distract the MAGAites from Epstein doesn't mean it didn't happen and the people involved shouldn't be prosecuted. Worse still... as it seems the republicans just don't care if our president is a lying pedophile, apparently the democrats don't care if ObamaGod and Killary were running the Executive branch like Pinochet or the Shah of Iran. It's sad.)
from Fox News
...
Fox News Digital exclusively reported in October 2020 that Brennan briefed former President Obama and administration officials on intelligence that then-Democrat nominee former Secretary of State Clinton was stirring up a plan to tie Trump to Russia.
Ratcliffe, as director of national intelligence, declassified Brennan’s handwritten notes memorializing that meeting, which were exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital in October 2020.
On July 28, 2016, Brennan briefed Obama on a plan from one of Clinton's campaign foreign policy advisors "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service."
Comey, then-Vice President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper were in the Brennan-Obama briefing.
After that briefing, the CIA properly forwarded that information through a Counterintelligence Operational Lead (CIOL) to Comey and then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, with the subject line: "Crossfire Hurricane."
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained and reported on the CIOL in October 2020, which stated: "The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate."
"Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date," the memo continued. "An exchange (REDACTED) discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server."
The FBI on July 31, 2016, opened a counterintelligence investigation into whether candidate Trump and members of his campaign were colluding or coordinating with Russia to influence the 2016 campaign. That investigation was referred to inside the bureau as "Crossfire Hurricane."
Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to take over the FBI’s original "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation. After nearly two years, Mueller’s investigation, which concluded in March 2019, yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.
Shortly after, John Durham was appointed as special counsel to investigate the origins of the "Crossfire Hurricane" probe.
Durham found that the FBI "failed to act" on a "clear warning sign" that the bureau was the "target" of a Clinton-led effort to "manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes" ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
"The aforementioned facts reflect a rather startling and inexplicable failure to adequately consider and incorporate the Clinton Plan intelligence into the FBI’s investigative decision-making in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham’s report states....
