There&#8217;s a thin amount of evidence,&#8221; Stone said. &#8220;It&#8217;s been told to us by three agencies &#8211; the CIA, the NSA and the FBI. It was told to us in January, a few days before Mr. Trump came into office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said the intelligence assessment is &#8220;thin&#8221; and simply doesn&#8217;t have the evidence required.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that CIA Director John Brennan created a &#8220;fear and paranoia&#8221; with his testimony that Russia directly interfered in the election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m shocked at what the CIA did and what Brennan did. It seemed like he was very hostile to Trump,&#8221; Stone said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump was, in a sense, slapped in the face with two weeks to go,&#8221; Stone said. &#8220;This thing is serious. It&#8217;s calling Trump, essentially, a &#8216;Manchurian Candidate.&#8217; That&#8217;s as hostile as it&#8217;s ever been in a transition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said if anybody actually influenced the 2016 election, it was former FBI Director James Comey, who announced that the investigation into Hillary Clinton&#8217;s private email was dropped and then reopened just weeks before the election.<\/p>\n<p>Watch more above.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/insider.foxnews.com\/2017\/06\/15\/oliver-stone-vladimir-putin-russia-meddling-us-election-trump-more\">http:\/\/insider.foxnews.com\/2017\/06\/15\/oliver-stone-vladimir-putin-russia-meddling-us-election-trump-more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=75847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75847\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=75847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=75847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=75847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
