Past Clips Of Obama’s Intel Chiefs May Come Back To Bite Them Following Russiagate Docs Release
Former Obama administration intelligence officials’ past statements don’t appear to match what newly declassified information shows about key aspects of their findings on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
President Donald Trump’s intelligence officials have been declassifying documents containing intelligence findings from the Obama administration on Russia and the 2016 election. The documents appear to contradict past statements by former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper during television interviews and before Congress.
February, 2018. John Brennan on the Steele dossier: "It did not play any role whatsoever in the Intelligence Community Assessment that was done that was presented to then President Obama."

For instance, Brennan said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in February 2018 that the discredited Steele Dossier “did not play any role whatsoever in the intelligence community assessments that was done that was presented to then President Obama and then President-elect Trump.”
A 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) found that Russian President Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 election with “a clear preference” for Trump. The CIA’s June review of the ICA found that Brennan pushed to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA.
Hey everybody, watch James Comey lie under oath in 2017 about the seriousness of "Russian election interference."
The memo that DNI Gabbard released proves clearly that Comey was lying during this testimony. He needs to be held accountable for the damage he did to this country. pic.twitter.com/rowA74bs4C
