Ex-CIA Chief Endorsed Steele Dossier to Set Russia Probe in Motion - Woodward
Former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan reportedly endorsed the dossier claiming Donald Trump engaged in urination orgies at the Ritz Carlton in Moscow despite the fact that Washington Post, Politico and others in the media refused to publish anything about the dossier for want of corroboration.
Brennan put his stamp of approval on the dossier in December 2016, Watergate reporter Bob Woodward writes in his new book, "Fear." Brennan claimed it lined up with his own analysis, according to the author, that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Moscow to steal the election from Hillary Clinton, whose campaign considered "Because it's her turn" as a campaign motto.
Brennan wrote an op-ed carried by the New York Times last month saying that Trump's assertions of "no collusion" with Moscow are "hogwash." Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), chairman of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, found it remarkable to hear that Brennan was sure there was "collusion," Sputnik News reported.
"Director Brennan's recent statements purport to know as fact that the Trump campaign colluded with a foreign power. If Director Brennan's statement is based on intelligence he received while still leading the CIA, why didn't he include it in the Intelligence Community Assessment released in 2017? If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach," Burr said.
Brennan doesn't know if Trump-Russia collusion happened
If Brennan did have "the goods" showing that Trump and Moscow colluded, he refused to tell lawmakers while under oath during testimony before the House of Representatives.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) asked the former spy chief whether the CIA had evidence of Trump-Russia collusion or not in a May 2017 House Intelligence Committee hearing. "Did evidence exist of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian state actors?" Gowdy asked.
"I don't know, whether or not, such collusion — and that's your term — such collusion existed. I don't know," Brennan fumbled.
