Former CIA officer and National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz said Wednesday that former CIA Director John Brennan ignored intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin actually wanted Hillary Clinton to win the the 2016 presidential election.
Fleitz called Brennan "The most politicized intelligence chief in American history" in a Fox News op ed that addressed a report released Tuesday from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
That document supports the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election to promote the victory of then-candidate Donald Trump.
Fleitz says House Intelligence Committee staff members discovered exactly the opposite and told him that there is ample evidence that Russia may have interfered in the 2016 election, but not necessarily on behalf of Trump.
"More gravely, they said that [then-] CIA Director John Brennan suppressed facts or analysis that showed why it was not in Russia's interests to support Trump and why Putin stood to benefit from Hillary Clinton's election. They also told me that Brennan suppressed that intelligence over the objections of CIA analysts."
The former NSC chief of staff further stated that "Brennan suppressed high-quality intelligence suggesting that Putin actually wanted the more predictable and malleable Clinton to win the 2016 election."
Fleitz suggested that Brennan relied upon "Low-quality intelligence that failed to meet intelligence community standards to support the political claim that Russian officials wanted Trump to win".
