Brokaw: Brennan Told Me that He Wouldn’t Be Surprised if There Were Collusion

EXCERPT:

BROKAW: "Well I think when you clear the smoke is that we’re at the beginning of something not at the end of something. And we’re kind of at the end of the beginning. I think we’re now moving into a serious state with what we just saw, could be held in contempt of Congress, for example. FBI Director Brennan saying yesterday that he was very concerned. Oddly enough Richard Engel and I went to him in September of last fall because I had gotten a tip that there were connections between Trump and the Russians. And it was fairly detailed. It came from a democratic operative. So we went to Brennan, and he said, I can’t help you with that. I don’t know of any connection between presidential candidate. And that’s what we’re talking about. He said, the presidential candidate of the Republican Party and the Russians, and then added, but I wouldn’t be surprised. And that’s as much as he would give us at that point. Whether he knew something and he was holding it back or whether from that point forward he went on to get more information, I don’t know at this point. But there’s so much out there at this point in the water and in the air and we owe it to the country to track it down. It’s a huge distraction."
