Clapper And Brennan Said Three Things In NYT Op-Ed. Each Was A Lie
[Federalist] After declassified documents further exposed their roles in fomenting the baseless Trump-Russia collusion hoax, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper are out with a new op-ed effectively trying to tell the public, "Don’t believe your lying eyes."

Published by The New York Times — a known co-conspirator in the hoax — the rambling screed from the former Obama intel chiefs represents a pathetic attempt to dismiss findings in recently disclosed records released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. In summary, the materials show there was no credible underlying intel demonstrating Russia wanted Donald Trump to win the 2016 election and that such falsehoods were forcibly shoehorned into the Obama team’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) at the behest of figures like Brennan.

Brennan and Clapper predictably use their op-ed to try and draw attention away from the bombshell findings. One way they attempt to do this is by citing a past Senate Intelligence Committee report on the drafting of the ICA, which claimed, "analysts were under no politically motivated pressure to reach specific conclusions." (That talking point was dismantled by The Federalist’s Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway in a recent episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour.")

#2 "NEW: CIA chief John Brennan had such tight control over his supersecret "fusion cell" task force he shut all but 3 of the 18 IC agencies out and forced its 15 members to convene in a SCIF inside CIA HQ & show special clearance tickets to see docs--and then made them all sign NDAs"

#3 They can plead the 5th on the stand, but their public statements are admissible. Strotz erased his public statements, but I doubt that they were uncaptured.
