(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.)

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.
