Former NSC official says some evidence cut against claim Russia was helping Trump.
The Trump administration is preparing one of its biggest declassifications yet in the Russia case, a super-secret document that could flip the collusion theory on its head four years after the FBI first started its investigation.
Multiple officials familiar with the planned declassification, which could happen as early as this week, told Just the News that the new evidence will raise the specter that Russian President Vladimir Putin was actually trying to hurt President Trump, not help his election in 2016, as the Obama administration claimed.
The new evidence would complement a revelation last week that the primary source for the Christopher Steele anti-Trump dossier was known to the U.S. government to be tied to Russia intelligence, raising the possibility that the Russians were undercutting the GOP nominee.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., hinted at the big revelation in a Sunday appearance on the Fox News show "Sunday Futures with Maria Bartiromo."
"Everything Russia-Trump was looked at. You had $25 million, 60 agents. You had subpoenas, you had people’s lives turned upside down," Graham said. "The question is, 'Did they look at Russia coming after Trump?' "
Referring to last week’s revelation, Graham added: “We’ve got a Russian spy on the payroll of the Democratic Party putting together a document that details the FBI was not reliable.”
The possibility that the FBI and CIA had reason to suspect Russia was trying to hurt Trump and help rival Hillary Clinton first emerged in a Just the News article last month that revealed a House Intelligence Committee secret report accused the U.S Intelligence Community Assessment of ignoring credible evidence that the Russians tried to help Clinton in 2016.
"When I was briefed on the House Intelligence Committee report on the January 2017 ICA, I was told that John Brennan politicized this assessment by excluding credible intelligence that the Russians wanted Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 election and ordered weak intelligence included that Russia wanted Trump to win,” former CIA and National Security Council official Fred Fleitz said last month.
Brennan was the CIA director at the time.
"I also was told that Brennan took both actions over the objections of CIA analysts. I am concerned about what happened to these analysts and worry that they may have been subjected to retaliation by CIA management," Fleitz also said. "These analysts are true whistleblowers, and they should come to the congressional intelligence committees to tell their stories and set the record straight on the ICA."
An official familiar with the document said it will show the intelligence community “cherry-picked pebbles of evidence” to make the case Russia sought to help Trump win in 2016 when there was similar evidence to the contrary.
Several prominent Russia experts, including the CIA’s former station chief in Moscow, have argued that the intelligence community assessment got it wrong and that Russia’s true intentions in 2016 was actually to sow chaos and discord in America without regard to which candidate won.
P
If the left has double top secret info they send it to the Times for publication. Republicans whisper and snort at the drinking fountain.
Putin would have walked all over Hillary.....as usual.
The new evidence would complement a revelation last week that the primary source for the Christopher Steele anti-Trump dossier was known to the U.S. government to be tied to Russia intelligence, raising the possibility that the Russians were undercutting the GOP nominee.
The plain common sense of it all would suggest strongly that Putin did not want to have to deal with Donald Trump, that the already bought Mrs Bill would be much friendlier and more useful to Russia.
The first appearance of the Russia collusion hoax, as far as I know, was three or four days prior to Trump’s election when Clinton’s 1992 campaign manager appeared on Fox, expressing his knowledge that Hillary would lose.
Sputtering “IT WAS THE KGB!!! IT WAS THE KGB!!!”
M. Godot may come tomorrow, but he is not coming today.
Meanwhile, four years is a long time to wait for us Freepers who knew about this all along.
The script was flipped two years ago. And nobody of any probative value nor power will give a crap when it happens again.
I remember thinking back the then, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, that Carville was concocting a false narrative.
I just didn’t have any idea how big it would get.
But the harder they come, the harder they fall.
Answer... we be doin' nothin' about it. I get.
I'm still waiting to read the word, 'will'.
'Comey, Brennan, Clapper ARE going to jail' would be nice to read too.
Russia had bought Hillary.
They got her to sell them Uranium One.
Why would they want Trump in office?

As Mike Huckabee says: "If you toss a rock over a fence, it's the hit dog that hollers."
The hate-filled, evil Democrats (but I repeat myself) have been howling like coyotes and working night and day for 4 years to keep any rocks from being thrown over their fence. They'll ALL get hit!
Imagine what an easy walk he would have if Biden was president.
Next???
If Trump is Putin’s puppet, why does he always beat the crap out of him?
