That is exactly what they said.
"The dispute was over the “key judgment” in a January 2017
Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Russia had interfered in the election specifically because Putin and the Russian government “aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.
The senior intelligence officials pointed out the lack of evidence to substantiate the claim. “
We have no intelligence to directly support this ‘aspiration’ point,” said one member of the small group of individuals working with Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on the assessment of Russian activity in the lead-up to the 2016 election.”
That one part was the only part (manufactured) to tie Trump the Russians. It was the genesis of the Russia Russia Russia hoax.
