A BBC report suggests that Brennan may be referring to April 2016 - a month before Papadopoulos allegedly mentioned Russian dirt and three months before the FBI launched its probe - when "An intelligence agency of one of the Baltic States" provided Brennan with "a tape recording" that "Worried him" - "a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the U.S. presidential campaign."
The separate briefings and the Reid letters gave rise to suspicion that Brennan was driven by what Reid, according to Isikoff and Corn, saw as an "Ulterior motive." Although Brennan has claimed publicly that he "Provided the same briefing to each gang of eight member," Rep. Devin Nunes says that is not true.
Brennan, the New York Times reported, "Sent separate intelligence reports, many based on the source's information, in special sealed envelopes to the Oval Office." Brennan made sure that those envelopes evaded scrutiny.
Brennan has insisted in congressional testimony that the dossier was "Not in any way used as the basis for the intelligence community's assessment," and that he was unaware of the fact that Hillary Clinton's campaign had funded it.
Including in RealClearInvestigations, report that the dossier was inserted as an appendix to the ICA, and that Brennan personally advocated its inclusion.
From MSNBC to the New York Times to Twitter, Brennan has denounced Trump as "Treasonous," "In the pocket of Putin," and dismissed the president's now substantiated "Claims of no collusion," as "Hogwash." In the final weeks of the Mueller probe, Brennan boldly predicted a wave of indictments against Trump's inner circle for a Russia conspiracy.
When Mueller completed his probe with no such indictments, Brennan changed his tone: "I don't know if I received bad information, but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was," he told MSNBC. Brennan is now a bitter Trump critic on MSNBC. MSNBC/"The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell".
