NSC's Fleitz: ‘ Brennan suppressed high-quality intel suggesting Putin wanted the more predictable, malleable Clinton to win in 2016’
[DailyCaller] Former CIA officer and National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz
...that was the second time he was John Bolton’s chief of staff...
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.

#1 Of course. Why would Putin support an unknown, wildcard, totally unpredictable candidate like an orange-visaged reality-show host? The Soviets always went with a known foreign quantity over an unknown quantity.

Putin was right to do so: despite his weird habit of personal flattery, OrangeMan withdrew from the nuclear treaty w Russia, doubled down on sanctions and closed consulates around the US, sold advanced weaponry to Poland, Sweden, Ukraine, and withdrew from the INF Treaty.

He's not Putin's puppet; he's Putin's worst nightmare.

#3 In their justification, they knew Russia no more capable of affecting US elections than it can fly by flapping it's arms.
