Ex-CIA Director: ‘Implausible’ That Americans Did Not Help Russians Interfere In Election [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/19/2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 10/19/2017 11:32:16 AM PDT by ForYourChildren

Former CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday that he finds it “implausible” that Americans did not help Russian operatives interfere, either “wittingly or unwittingly,” in the presidential campaign last year.

During an event at Fordham University, Brennan was asked by NBC’s Andrea Mitchell whether he believed that Russians could have figured out how to target areas in swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin without the help of Americans, including in the Trump campaign.

“Is it your theory of the case that there was some connection between the campaign and the Russian operations?” Mitchell asked.

“It’s hard for me to believe that the Russians, as good as they are, as sophisticated as they are, a program like this, were not able to get some Americans to cooperate with them, either wittingly or unwittingly,” said Brennan.

“I find it implausible,” the Obama administration official added.

“It’s hard for me to believe that the Russians, as good as they are, as sophisticated as they are, a program like this, were not able to get some Americans to cooperate with them, either wittingly or unwittingly,” said Brennan.

You mean like these Facebook nitwits?

Ex. 1: “Facebook says an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. saw at least one of the 3,000 political ads it says were bought by accounts linked to the Russian government.”

Ex. 2: “Fake Russian Facebook Accounts Bought $100,000 in Political Ads”

So what to do about Facebook? Was it wittingly?

I find it hard to be interested in what a Muslim enemy of America says.

“It raised questions in my mind about whether Russia was able to gain the cooperation of those individuals,” said Brennan, ..

“I don’t know whether such collusion existed,” he added.

Ok, did Facebook collude with the Russians?

What to do about Facebook?

Why did Facebook collude with the Russians to throw the election?

Brennan: ". . . 'wittingly' or 'unwittingly'. . . .

Now, where, and from whom have we heard those words before?

It is implausible that Brennan is not an enemy of the state.

Double negatives do not mask his cupidity.

The Uranium Pushback Program has now been officially launched. Expect to see more and more of this sort of nonsense as the days and weeks roll by.

Because you’re stupid? We are not going to hear the last of the these retarded liberals blaming Russians for Hiellary’s demise.

Yeah... 64 million Americans "interfered" with Hillary Clinton's election by voting for Donald Trump.

This Muslim jihadist traitor should consider moving to the Middle East to be with the people he loves.

Did Brennan convert to Islam wittingly or unwittingly?

Did Bill and Hillary take Russian money wittingly or unwittingly?

Did Hillary, Donna, and Lil Debbie politically sodomize Bernie wittingly or unwittingly?

Which tells you that Brennan was a bozo who had no business running the CIA. The Russians has been spying on us intently for NINE DECADES. They had an entire institute devoted to studying US. They probably knew their way around Michigan and Wisconsin better than the Governors of those states did.

"Ex. 2: “Fake Russian Facebook Accounts Bought $100,000 in Political Ads”"

Somebody crunched the numbers on this in an article I read this morning. Of that 100K, over 40K was spent on ads that ran AFTER the election. Of the remaining 60K, have was run on ads in non swing states. By the time he was done he showed that only about 22K was spend on ads in swing states during the campaign season. There is no way 22K in ads is going to make a dent in election results.

Beat me to it. The American interference that Brennan objects to most is voting against Hillary.

Anyone who watched prediction sites like PredictIt.com knew that states like Michigan and Wisconsin were going to be 2016's swing states.
