Report: Russia Hoax Was Built On ‘One Scant, Unclear, And Unverifiable Fragment Of A Sentence’

CIA officers warned Brennan about the shoddy nature of the sentence fragment, and initially omitted the fragment in the report. But Brennan personally demanded the fragment be included.

The Russia hoax was built on a six-word sentence fragment that entirely lacked context or credibility, according to a report declassified by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard.

The report makes clear that former President Barack Obama and his jackboots henchmen — former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — force-fabricated a lie about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s supposed “preference” for then-candidate Donald Trump to win the 2016 election.

With direct interference from Brennan and Obama himself, the Obama administration pushed this narrative as a way to undermine the entire Trump 45 presidency, stripping the American people of the leadership they elected in 2016.

....But the supposed backbone of the report was based on a six-word partial quote described as “one scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from a single HUMINT [human intelligence] report — published under DCIA Brennan’s December 2016 order.”

The words were “whose victory Putin was counting on.”

The full quote is “Putin had made this decision [to leak DNC emails] after he had come to believe that the Democratic nominee had better odds of winning the U.S. presidential election, and that [candidate Trump], whose victory Putin was counting on, most likely would not be able to pull off a convincing victory” (bold in original).

The report states that those six words, found between commas in the longer sentence, could not have been properly understood and that “a senior CIA operations officer said of the fragment, ‘We don’t know what was meant by that’ and ‘five people read it five ways.’”

In addition, that entire quote is suspect because it was sourced from a person with a “strong dislike for Putin” and an “anti-Trump bias.” There was also “no other intelligence corroborating it.”



Are you kidding me? That’s it? That’s the only classified intelligence they had and no one knew what it meant?

It’s not surprising that they added the dossier to the ICA. They had nothing.

Overall, we rate The Federalist Questionable and far-Right Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that always favor the right and promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and numerous failed fact checks.

Who cares which websites Dave Van Zandt thinks are biased or not? Do you think because he created his own website that he's the authority on bias?

The lefties here think Mediabiasfactcheck is some magic silver bullet that automatically discredits an article you don't like without you ever showing if anything is inaccurate.

You should expect such a response on recycled conspiracy theories.

Maybe because it's all bullshit?

MAGA gets all excited about the latest "smoke" from the right wing, and nothing ever happens.

Stop falling for lies and you'll be a whole lot better off.

I either put those people who always like to troll on ignore or just don't reply. They have the same playbook every time to try to derail a thread they don't like subject. Its just so juvenile they can't discuss something they disagree with.
 
This is what the left pins their propaganda on about Russia. It all came down to one anti trump and anti putin source. It sounds like complete horseshit.

Every time the obvious lies, deliberate omissions, blatant contradictions, or general bullshit is pointed out in these propaganda pieces, you people ignore it and just trudge on.
 
Obama won't/can't be prosecuted because of the SCOTUS immunity, but Brennan can be prosecuted. The fact that they initiated the Task Force is a good sign that someone will be prosecuted.
Tells that to the moron in the White House that knows nothing about what he does two minutes after he does it.
