Comment: McCabe's history now, but notice that Fleming was subsequently PROMOTED up the spook chain...
While Russia had previously been viewed as a country that would seek to interfere in western elections, the Brexit vote was viewed by some within the FBI as a sign that Russian activities had possibly been successful, the person said.
Comment: Which shows just how out of touch these people really are. More to the point, it shows that they were going with 'Russia did it' by the time the Brexit referendum in late June 2016 result stunned them into realizing the Old Order was under threat...

Oh, and, it turns out, attempting a coup against the president of the USA.
