Brennan has taken credit for launching the Trump investigation.
At a House Intelligence Committee hearing in May 2017, he explained that he became “aware of intelligence and information about contacts between Russian officials and U.S. persons.”
Brennan then took the lead on shaping the narrative that Russia was interfering in the election specifically to help Trump—which quickly evolved into the Trump-collusion narrative.
Team Clinton was eager to make the claim, especially in light of the DEMOCRAT National Committee server hack. Numerous reports show Brennan aggressively pushing the same line internally.
Their problem was that even then, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper didn’t buy it. He publicly refused to say who was responsible for the hack, or ascribe motivation.
Brennan also couldn’t get the FBI to sign on to the view; the bureau continued to believe Russian cyberattacks were aimed at disrupting the U.S. political system generally, not aiding Trump.
The CIA director couldn’t himself go public with his Clinton spin—he lacked the support of the intelligence community and had to be careful not to be seen interfering in politics.
So what to do? He called Harry Reid. He told the Senate minority leader that Russia was trying to help Trump win the election, and that Trump advisers might be colluding with Russia.
Two years later, no evidence has emerged to support such a claim.
