Clapper: Sec. Rubio Led an ‘Exhaustive’ Probe on the ICA and Endorsed its Findings

EXCERPT:

CLAPPER: "I don‘t believe John Durham took issue with the intelligence community assessment. He did take issue and critique the FBI on the process they used specifically for a FISA application against Carter Page. That‘s different than — I don‘t think he found issue with — after a four-year investigation. I do need to mention that the Senate Intelligence Committee did an exhaustive examination of the totality of Russian engagement in this country, focusing specifically on the intelligence community assessment that we did and released in January of '17, and they endorsed the findings, the tradecraft used to derive those findings and the confidence levels. And no less than then-Senator Rubio, now-Secretary of State Rubio, who was then, I believe, acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, made that observation himself in — when that report — redacted version of that report was released."
