DNI declassifies Brennan notes, CIA memo on Hillary Clinton 'stirring up' scandal between Trump, Russia
A source said Brennan's handwritten notes were taken after briefing Obama on the matter

EXCLUSIVE: Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified documents that revealed former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s purported “plan” to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server” ahead of the 2016 presidential election, Fox News has learned.

Ratcliffe declassified Brennan’s handwritten notes – which were taken after he briefed Obama on the intelligence the CIA received – and a CIA memo, which revealed that officials referred the matter to the FBI for potential investigative action.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence transmitted the declassified documents to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on Tuesday afternoon.

"Today, at the direction of President Trump, I declassified additional documents relevant to ongoing Congressional oversight and investigative activities," Ratcliffe said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday. ...

BREAKING: DNI Declassifies Handwritten Notes From John Brennan, 2016 CIA Referral On Clinton Campaign’s Collusion Operation
The Federalist, Oct 6, 2020, Sean Davis

Top U.S. intelligence officials were so concerned heading into the 2016 election that the Russians were aware of and potentially manipulating Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s plans to smear Donald Trump as a Russian agent that they personally briefed President Barack Obama on the matter, newly declassified Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) documents show. CIA officials also requested that the FBI investigate Russian knowledge of the Clinton campaign’s collusion smear.

Newly declassified handwritten notes from former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan show that the U.S. intelligence community knew in 2016 that Russian intelligence was actively monitoring, and potentially injecting disinformation into, Clinton’s anti-Trump collusion narrative. The intelligence concerning Russia’s knowledge of Clinton’s campaign plans was so concerning to Brennan and other national security officials that they personally informed Obama of the matter in the Oval Office in the summer of 2016. The handwritten notes from Brennan were declassified by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe and provided to Congress on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the declassified notes, Brennan and the U.S. intelligence community knew months prior to the 2016 election that the collusion smear was the result of a campaign operation hatched by the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“We’re getting additional insight into Russian activites from [REDACTED],” Brennan’s handwritten notes state. “Cite alleged approval by Hillary Clinton–on 26 July–of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to villify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.”

The notes appear to have been prepared by Brennan to memorialize a meeting held at the White House with the president and his top national security advisers. Also included in Brennan’s notes are the responses of other participants in the briefing–including those of former White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice, former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, and former DNI James Clapper, but those responses are redacted.

At one point, Obama asked whether there was any evidence of collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russia, but any response that may have been recorded in Brennan’s notes is redacted.

[...]

Ratcliffe also declassified on Tuesday portions of a formal CIA investigative referral sent on September 7, 2016, to fired former FBI director James Comey and fired former counterintelligence official Peter Strzok asking them to investigate the Clinton campaign’s anti-Trump collusion smear operation in light of Russia’s knowledge of the plan and the likelihood it could be tainted by deliberate Russian disinformation. Rather than act on the CIA investigative referral in the same manner they had launched a full-blown counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign, Strzok and Comey refused to initiate an investigation.

“Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date,” the memo states. “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 private e-mail server.”

Clinton invented "Russia collusion," then the CIA, DOJ, and FBI went along to help her win, and when that failed, conspired to coup a sitting POTUS.

Curious... Brennan is viciously anti trump but by the release of these docs it shows a CIA who was well aware of "russia!" as a hoax... subtly putting the entire blame on an FBI who was purely focused on catching Trump at.... well, anything they could catch him doing

It appears Brennan's "fusion cell" was created to aid the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE investigation by surveiling Russians/Ukrainians associated with the Trump Campaign in order to "incidentally" collect information on US citizen campaign members (i.e. Manafort). That's illegal. #SpyGate

@JohnBrennan's March 2016 trip to Moscow featured him meeting with Bortnikov (FSB), Fradkov (SVR), Ivanov (CoS), and Korobov (GRU). John claims that after the @wikileaks dump, he arrived in his office on July 25th to review raw intelligence concerning Russian election interference and then schedules a meeting with Obama on July 28th Street he was done reading. No mention of Smolenkov or Ratcliffe material.

Brennan then sets up his "fusion cell" in early August where incidental collection of information on US citizens appears to be a theme with the CIA and NSA passing potential American criminality to the FBI. Were Manafort's communications with Kilimnik incidentally collected?

Brennan makes an error stating that Trump publicly stated that he hoped Russia would be able to find Hillary's emails on July 26th, when it was actually the 27th. GRU targets a Clinton aide's email account 5 hours after his statements... Brennan and Strzok struggle with dates.

Thanks @Right_in_Virginia but I truly wish he had said "have ordered" instead of "authorized" as that word still leaves the deep state bastards plenty of wiggle room.

How is Biden tied to this? to me that is the next logical question. Right along with what input did Biden have on Benghazi?

Lol. The guy who wants to be president was up to his wrinkley arse in the scam as well.

He may very well be elected never having had to respond to a single question about it.

‘Obamagate’ Isn’t A Conspiracy Theory, It’s The Biggest Political Scandal Of Our Time
And the media know it.
By John Daniel Davidson
May 13, 2020

When former president Barack Obama told supporters last week that the Justice Department’s decision to drop the case against former White House National Security Adviser Mike Flynn is a “threat to the rule of law,” he was relying wholly on the fiction, willingly propagated for years by a pliant media, that the Russia-Trump collusion probe launched by his administration was lawful and legitimate.

But of course it wasn’t. A string of recently released documents have confirmed that the entire Russia-Trump investigation, which eventually entrapped Flynn and forced then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself, was an unprecedented abuse of power that amounted to an organized effort by the Obama administration to nullify the results of the 2016 presidential election. It was in effect an attempted coup.

If you haven’t picked that up from the news media, it’s not your fault. Instead of grappling with the implications of newly released details about what Obama officials were doing to undermine the incoming Trump administration during the transition, the mainstream media have fixated on Trump’s use of the term “Obamagate,” dismissing it as a conspiracy theory. ...     More at the Federalist
