In the heart of New York City\u2019s most diverse borough, a two-mile stretch of commercial road has become the unlikely epicenter of an international criminal enterprise that has transformed a vibrant immigrant community into what residents describe as an occupied territory. The ongoing crisis has sparked a grassroots movement that represents both the failure of traditional law enforcement approaches and the power of organized community resistance against seemingly insurmountable odds.<\/p>\n

Intelligence agency officials like former CIA Director John Brennan must be held accountable for their role in advancing allegations about President Donald Trump\u2019s connections with Russia during the 2016 election, according to the White House.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Trump was right \u2014 again,\u201d White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital. \u201cThose who engaged in this political scandal must be held accountable for the fraud they committed against President Trump and the lies they told to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Celal Gunes\/Anadolu via Getty Images)<\/p>\n Leavitt\u2019s comments come after a new lessons-learned review that\u00a0CIA Director John Ratcliffe declassified Wednesday\u00a0determined that the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency\u2019s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) examining Russia\u2019s interference in the 2016 presidential election deviated from intelligence standards that led to some \u201cprocedural anomalies.\u201d<\/p>\n The review determined that the \u201cdecision by agency heads to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cSteele dossier,\u201d composed by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele as part of opposition research on Trump during the 2016 campaign, featured salacious material and unfounded allegations about Trump\u2019s connections to Russia. Trump has denied the allegations included in the document.<\/p>\n Then-CIA Director John Brennan speaks during the CIA\u2019s third conference on national security at George Washington University, September 20, 2016, in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n Specifically, the CIA\u2019s new review found that the CIA\u2019s deputy director for analysis said in a December 2016 email to Brennan that including the dossier in any capacity jeopardized \u201cthe credibility of the entire paper.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDespite these objections, Brennan showed a preference for narrative consistency over analytical soundness,\u201d the new review stated. \u201cWhen confronted with specific flaws in the Dossier by the two mission center leaders \u2013 one with extensive operational experience and the other with a strong analytic background \u2013 he appeared more swayed by the Dossier\u2019s general conformity with existing theories than by legitimate tradecraft concerns. Brennan ultimately formalized his position in writing, stating that \u2018my bottomline is that I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Brennan served as director of the CIA from March 2013 to January 2017 under the Obama administration.<\/p>\n Brennan could not be reached for comment by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n Likewise, the review said Brennan had sent a note to intelligence community analysts one day before their only session coordinating on the ICA that he had met with then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and then-FBI Director\u00a0<\/p>\n In that message, Brennan told the CIA workforce that \u201cthere is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our recent Presidential election.\u201d<\/p>\n Fox News\u2019 Brooke Singman contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n CIA Director John Brennan participates in a session at the third annual Intelligence and National Security Summit in Washington, Sept. 8, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the heart of New York City\u2019s most diverse borough, a two-mile stretch of commercial road has become the unlikely epicenter of an international criminal enterprise that has transformed a vibrant immigrant…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
