Former CIA Director: Trump Campaign Collusion 'Quite Evident'

Now that close Trump adviser Roger Stone has been indicted, former CIA director John Brennan is more convinced than ever that Robert Mueller’s investigation will prove damning for Trump.

Brennen said Friday that he thinks it’s “quite evident” the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election, that this collusion may have “gone to the very top” to Trump himself, and that it could even rise to the level of “criminal conspiracy.”

“There was an extensive effort to try to influence the outcome of the [2016] election that involved the Russians, that involved U.S. persons, and that may have gone to the very top of the Trump campaign,” Brennan said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“I defer to the special counsel’s office to make the determination about what they did crossed that threshold from collusion — which I think is quite evident — to criminal conspiracy,” he said.

Brennan also speculated that more indictments are on the way, and noted that Trump and his family members have a “fair amount” of vulnerability to being indicted.

“It’s whether or not it’s past that threshold that is going to lead then to an indictment of individuals that are close to Mr. Trump, that are part of his family, or others,” Brennan said.
