Top Intelligence Officials Contradicted Brennan: ‘No Intelligence’ To Support Key Russia Hoax Claim

Top officials working on an intelligence community analysis about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election were overruled by CIA Director John Brennan, according to records exclusively reviewed by The Federalist. The records are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Brennan and other top intelligence officials for their roles in launching the Russia collusion hoax.

The dispute was over the “key judgment” in a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Russia had interfered in the election specifically because Putin and the Russian government “aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.”

The senior intelligence officials pointed out the lack of evidence to substantiate the claim. “We have no intelligence to directly support this ‘aspiration’ point,” said one member of the small group of individuals working with Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on the assessment of Russian activity in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

The official worried that the inclusion of the claim would “open the IC to a line of very politicized inquiry that is sure to come up when this paper is shared with the Hill.” A recent CIA analysis of the inclusion of this disputed “key judgment” noted the risks of including poorly supported judgments since skeptical readers are inclined to “reject an entire analysis if a single judgment appears exaggerated, biased, or unsupported.”

The experts did not disagree that Russia had continued its practice of attempting to sow chaos in presidential elections. They believed the intelligence indicated Russia sought to weaken presumptive winner Hillary Clinton and those efforts may have indirectly helped Trump. But they were concerned about the lack of evidence for the claim that became a cornerstone of the Russia collusion narrative, in which Trump was accused of conspiring with Russia to steal the 2016 election.

WATCH: The REAL Reason the Epstein ‘Client List’ Is Never Getting Released

Jeffry Epstein’s rumored ‘client list’ will never be released to the public by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), according to a former agent.

John Kiriakou, an ex-CIA officer who was jailed in 2012 for leaking the agency’s waterboarding interrogation techniques used at Guantanamo Bay, shared his views on the controversial pedophile – including his opinion on the alleged list of clients.

Kiriakou, who sat down for an episode of Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, told the media personality that he believes the alleged list will not see the light of day because it holds incredibly valuable intelligence information that the CIA would never hand over simply because the public demanded to see it.

The CIA whistleblower, who works for Sputnik- a Russian government news outlet – specifically said he believes that Epstein, 66, was employed by Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad – and that is why the list will not come out.

‘I believe that he was a Mossad access agent. It makes perfect sense to me,’ Kiriakou said. It has never been established that Epstein had ties to Mossad.

‘Jeffrey Epstein, in my view, is a textbook case of an access agent. I’ve said this before, but I think it’s important and it bears repeating,’ he told Bet-David.

CIA Review Reveals Obama Pushed Intel Community To Launch Trump-Russia Witch Hunt

President Barack Obama. Not CIA Director John Brennan. Not Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. And not FBI Director James Comey. But President Barack Obama. The 44th president of the United States directed the intelligence community to interfere in the peaceful transition of power to his successor — Donald Trump. And for that Obama should forevermore be considered a pariah in presidential history.

Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe released the agency’s review of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.” The CIA’s review exposed extensive problems with “the procedures and analytic tradecraft employed” by the intelligence community in crafting the ICA, revealing at the same time the role Brennan, Clapper, and Comey played in the corrupt process.

However, the CIA’s review of the ICA on Russia’s targeting of the 2016 election exposed something much more scandalous: President Obama was behind the entire plot to portray Putin as seeking to help Trump win the 2016 general election.

Yes, the CIA report showed, in the words of CIA Director Ratcliffe, “how Brennan and Clapper and Comey manipulated [and] silenced all the career professionals and railroaded the process.” But they were merely doing the dirty work for Obama, which is why CIA Director Ratcliffe stressed: “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump.’”

While last week’s CIA report did not finger President Obama with the same neon-light arrow deployed by Director Ratcliffe, the details included confirm that yes, “[t]his was Obama;” and not merely that Obama knew or condoned the politicalization of the intelligence community, but that the former president directed the politicalization.

John Brennan May Face Perjury Issues After CIA Director Ratcliffe’s Review Uncovers Russia Hoax Testimony Problems

Former CIA Director John Brennan may be exposed to perjury problems after current CIA Director John Ratcliffe released an internal review of the agency’s Russia hoax materials, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

Last week, Ratcliffe declassified and publicly released an internal CIA review of what is known as the “Intelligence Community Assessment,” or simply ICA, of the claims that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

“[President Donald Trump] has trusted me with helping to end weaponization of US intelligence,” Ratcliffe posted on X when releasing the review. “Today’s report underscores that the 2016 IC Assessment was conducted through an atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey.”

For years, Republicans and Trump allies have claimed that the ICA from 2016—when Brennan led the CIA—was flawed because its findings were based in part on the highly political Christopher Steele Dossier. The Steele Dossier, which was funded by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, was filled with blatant misinformation and inaccuracies like the false claims of “pee tapes” about Trump. The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC) later paid a combined six-figure fine to settle a Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigation into whether or not it properly reported the payments made through Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS to create the Steele Dossier.

Shadowy CIA Operative Interacted With Lee Harvey Oswald Months Before JFK Assassination, Newly Released Docs Show

A shadowy CIA operative specializing in psychological warfare interacted with Lee Harvey Oswald ahead of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination — and then ran interference against congressional investigators probing whether the US spy agency was connected to the killing, newly disclosed documents show.

CIA officer George Joannides assumed the alias “Howard Gleber” in January 1963, and led an American effort to infiltrate anti-communist Cuban student groups in the year leading up to JFK’s killing that November, according to government documents released Thursday and reviewed by Axios.

Oswald, 23 at the time, got into a fight with members of one of those student groups — the DRE, an organization vehemently-opposed to dictator Fidel Castro’s rule over Cuba — while he was handing out pro-communist leaflets in New Orleans nearly four months before the JFK assassination in Texas.

That fight publicly exposed Oswald as a Castro-sympathizer — with news outlets covering a hearing that followed, and the soon-to-be killer later debating DRE members on a local television broadcast, according to Axios.

A year before that exposure, the Pentagon was looking for excuses to attack Cuba — including plotting a false flag plan known as Operation Northwoods, which drew-up a fake assault on the US that would be blamed on the communist nation.

CIA Review Blasts John Brennan’s Role In Launching Russian Collusion Hoax

The intelligence community assessment weaponized by Democrats, corporate media, and the deep state to carry the Russia collusion hoax into President Donald Trump’s first term was fueled by former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan. Now a new Central Intelligence Agency review concludes that Brennan overrode internal concerns to claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

The June 2025 review, commissioned by Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe in May, scrutinized the “highest classified version” of a December 2016 assessment titled “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”

It finds that the analysis touted by Brennan as evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin hoped to help his preferred political candidate Trump win the 2016 election was rushed, restricted in its access, and then far too widely disseminated for a highly classified report. Further, the report’s developers “marginalize[d]” the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and others to advance a partisan get Trump narrative. In fact, according to the review, the ICA had “a higher confidence level than was justified.”

“Central to the judgment that Putin ‘aspired’ to help Trump win was one highly classified CIA report. Brennan had tightly restricted access to this information within CIA; it had been collected in July but not disseminated in CIA serialized reporting until the week of 19 December.”

Similarly, the review notes that “media leaks” indicated intelligence agencies “had already reached definitive conclusions risked creating an anchoring bias” before “work on the assessment even began.” (Read more from “CIA Review Blasts John Brennan’s Role In Launching Russian Collusion Hoax” HERE)

Ex-CIA Analyst Who Admitted Leaking Docs About Israel Strike on Iran Learns His Fate

An ex-CIA analyst was sentenced to more than three years in prison Wednesday for leaking top-secret documents about Israel’s plans to retaliate against Iran last year.

Asif William Rahman, 34, had pleaded guilty in January to two counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information after he was arrested for absconding with records from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency last October that indicated Israel was planning to launch airstrikes in response to a massive Iranian missile attack.

Rahman, who had been a CIA employee since 2016 and had access to top secret documents, leaked the stolen information on social media platforms — forcing Israel to delay its attack.

He was sentenced to three years and one month in federal prison by US District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles, which is less than the government had demanded.

“Asif Rahman violated his position of trust by illegally accessing, removing, and transmitting Top Secret documents vital to the national security of the United States and its allies,” US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert said in a statement.

Declassified Cold War-Era CIA Files Detail Soviet Clash With Aliens Who Witnesses Say Turned Soldiers to Stone

A declassified Cold War-era file from the CIA has gone viral over its coverage of a supposed clash between Soviet soldiers and a UFO, whose passengers reportedly turned the troops to stone before blasting off.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the CIA acquired a 250-page KGB report recounting the events that transpired after a platoon fired at a flying saucer over Ukraine.

The report included eyewitness accounts and pictures of the aftermath, which one American agent described as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.”

The report claims Soviets conducting a training exercise in Ukraine spotted a “low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer” soaring above their heads.

During the encounter, one of the Soviets fired a surface-to-air missile, which struck the UFO and sent it crashing to the ground. (Read more from “Declassified Cold War-Era CIA Files Detail Soviet Clash With Aliens Who Witnesses Say Turned Soldiers to Stone” HERE)

JFK Files Reveal New Depths Of CIA Incompetence

Newly declassified documents related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination shed additional light on the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin, in the weeks leading up to JFK’s death.

Documents reveal that the CIA tapped the phones at Cuban and Soviet diplomatic facilities in Mexico City, according to journalist Steven Portnoy. Oswald traveled there multiple times to meet with officials just weeks prior to the assassination. It was previously known that the CIA was aware of Oswald’s travels — a fact they withheld from the Warren Commission — but details about CIA wiretapping were classified until Tuesday. . .

The newly-released documents also reveal how a JFK advisor issued a warning to Kennedy about the CIA’s influence over foreign policy. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., JFK’s nephew, previously discussed how his uncle was “at war” with his military and intelligence community over his desire to keep the U.S. out of regime-change wars.

Jefferson Morley, a JFK assassination expert, noted that one memo from Arthur Schlesinger Jr. told JFK that “CIA encroachment on the traditional functions of state” affected his ability to direct foreign policy without the CIA’s influence.

Schlesinger was a historian and served as Special Assistant to JFK from 1961 to 1963, according to his biography in Foreign Affairs. (Read more from “JFK Files Reveal New Depths Of CIA Incompetence” HERE)

CIA Employees Mocked Pat Robertson’s Death, Trashed Christians in Leaked Chats: Report

Employees at the Central Intelligence Agency mocked the death of the late televangelist Pat Robertson, according to internal chat logs leaked to journalist Christopher Rufo.

“It was so smoky yesterday because the gates of hell opened up to let him in,” wrote one employee, whose name was redacted on the undated chat log from a National Security Agency messaging server, though Robertson died June 8, 2023.

Another employee replied to the message with “Pat Robertson Is Dead Everyone,” an acrostic that spells “pride.”

“Only the good die young,” the employee said, to which another replied, “Explains why my grandmother is still alive.”

“I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good,” the other employee wrote. “He’s dead. Good.” (Read more from “CIA Employees Mocked Pat Robertson’s Death, Trashed Christians in Leaked Chats: Report” HERE)
