Nat sec adviser O’Brien tells @margbrennan 1.) he hasn’t seen an intel assessment that Russia has a preference for Trump, as a senior intel official told Congress. 2.) He hasn’t seen any intel on “active measures by the Russians to try and get the president re-elected.”
Note: O’Brien isn’t saying the intelligence doesn’t say these things. He’s saying he hasn’t seen the intelligence.
BUT O’Brien said he has “heard from the FBI...that Russia would like Bernie Sanders to win the Dem nomination. They’d probably like him to be president, understandably, because he wants to spend money on social programs and probably would have to take it out of the military.”
A.) That’s a remarkably political statement coming from a national security adviser. B.) The nat sec adviser is hearing reports from the FBI about Russia and the president’s possible opponent but not reports about Russia and the president? 🤔
