JOHN BRENNAN'S 5 LIES THAT SET RUSSIAGATE IN MOTION The Anonymous Ukrainian TipThe second of Brennan’s tips was even flimsier: Brennan ordered inclusion of information from an anonymous email claiming Russia planned engagement with the Trump campaign as far back as February 2016. There was zero evidence that the Trump team ever reciprocated or was even aware of such plans.What the ICA did not disclose was that the tip came from a Ukrainian intelligence source with known anti-Trump bias. In fact, at the time, the Ukrainian government was openly hostile to Trump, with top officials publicly attacking him.While much of the information on Ukrainian sourcing is redacted in the newly released HPSCI report, one paragraph lets “Kiev” slip through. The date is also revealing. In January 2016, a delegation of Ukrainian officials met with Obama administration figures, including later Ukraine impeachment “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella. According to Ukrainian participant Andrii Telizhenko, the meeting focused on targeting Trump, specifically by pushing connections between Trump, Paul Manafort, and Russia to benefit Hillary Clinton.https://thefederalist.com/2025/07/25/john-brennans-5-lies-that-set-russiagate-in-motion/
