Jan 6, 2017: Clapper, Brennan, Comey & Rogers shared with Trump an extraordinary stream of intel that captured Putin’s specific instructions to sway the 2016 election. A copy of the report was left with Trump [which I'm sure he shared with Putin].

Jan 6, 2017: After the IC briefing, Trump issued a false statement that spread the blame for the inference [Russia, China, other countries] & claimed “absolutely no effect on election's outcome.” Since that day, Trump has regularly smeared Clapper, @JohnBrennan & @Comey.

The intel exposing Putin’s role in election 'meddling' included one particularly valuable human source, considered so sensitive, @JohnBrennan declined to refer to it in the PDB during Obama's final months in office, as the Russia probe intensified.
