CIA Opposition to President Trump
 
After Trump’s victory, the CIA “concluded” that Russia had interfered by hacking emails from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The FBI accepted the conclusion of the Clinton Campaign vendor CrowdStrike that Russia did the hacking, even though that company later admitted it had no proof. While the CIA libeled Trump as essentially a Russian agent, “Brennan also had intel saying ‘actually Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win because she was a known quantity, she had been secretary of state, and Vladimir Putin’s team thought she was more malleable, while candidate Donald Trump was unpredictable’” — and Brennan covered it up. In “concluding” that Russia wanted Trump, Brennan, “the most politicized intelligence chief in American history,” allowed “no dissenting views or even ... reviews by outside experts.” As Blaze News noted:
 
While Donald Trump was president, the CIA launched a full-scale operation to remove him from office for daring to question the agency.... Brennan initiated the Russia collusion hoax by leaking the “Steele dossier,” a complete fabrication based on false information from Russian intelligence officials. Brennan misled the press, claiming the dossier was CIA intelligence.... This was the CIA’s attempt to stage a domestic coup and take down a sitting president. 
 
Fox News’ Jesse Watters described how Brennan and the CIA “manipulated other assessments, buried high-quality intelligence, and then manufactured a conclusion that 17 agencies agreed Russia interfered in the 2016 elections to help Trump and then the press ran with it, and the country was brainwashed.” Trump correctly noted that his CIA attackers were “the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.”
 
In August 2019, the Washington Examiner reported that “[f]ormer CIA Director John Brennan says world leaders view President Trump as not only ‘incompetent,’ but also ‘delusional.’” In late October 2020, as Trump and Biden prepared for their second presidential debate, former acting CIA Director Michael Morell sent an email to another former director, Obama-appointed John Brennan. He asked Brennan to sign on to a letter claiming that the New York Post expose on Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian “disinformation.” Morell later admitted that the intent of the letter was to “help Vice President Biden … because I wanted him to win the election.” Brennan responded, “Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.” Of the 51 “current and former intelligence officials” who signed the letter designed to defeat Trump, 42 were current or former CIA.
 
Also in 2019, Real Clear Investigations reported that the so-called “whistleblower” who claimed a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian officials that was cited as a charge in Trump’s first impeachment, was actually CIA operative Eric Ciaramella, “a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, [who] previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia ‘collusion’ investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.” Ciaramella “huddled for ‘guidance’ with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited....”
 
CIA Opposition to Trump’s 2024 Campaign
 
In late 2023, Brennan dredged up his old “Russia collusion” hoax again, declaring that “it was ‘absolutely essential’ to Putin that Trump win back the White House.” “If Trump is able to return to the White House,” Brennan fabricated, “Putin could have a like-minded individual that he can work with, detrimental to U.S. interests certainly and detrimental to Western interests overall.”
