Former communist and CIA Director John Brennan and other top federal officials likely lied to Congress when they said that the notorious and mendacious Steele Dossier — the Hillary Clinton presidential-campaign hit job that accused of Donald Trump of colluding with Russia to defeat Clinton — wasn’t foundational for their ridiculous, years-long probe into the so-called collusion.
The evidence is a newly released CIA “Tradecraft Review.”
Writing at RealClearInvestigations, reporter Paul Sperry has disclosed the disturbing truth. “The eight-page review conducted by career CIA analysts found the dossier did, in fact, worm its way into the text of the highly classified report known as an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) to buttress the thinly sourced, yet inflammatory allegation that ‘Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances,’” he wrote.
