Did John Brennan Perjure Himself Over Steele Dossier?

Said he/she was using a walk list of "hot dems"
In Texas we call 'Triple Ds' those who have voted in the three Democratic primaries.
I read of union members in Wisconsin
who went for Trump because of his emphasis on "fair" trade. (We're seeing this issue pop up again just this week, with his mention of steel tariffs.) What I read specifically was that they were angered by, and defied their bosses' and PAC's endorsement of Hillary and voted their wallets. They felt betrayed by -- as referenced below -- Bill Clinton's NAFTA, Obama's TPP, and the like.
(I realize this POV does not conform to the prevailing one that the election got hacked.)

Impossible to determine for certain, but could have tilted those three Midwestern, heavily unionized states -- WI, MI, PA -- and the election in his favor.
The Midwestern states that handed Trump the White House flipped against Democrats thanks to a confluence of significant factors working for the GOP: First, white working-class voters hit hard by the recession took out their frustrations on the governing party. Second, minority groups and younger voters who turned out in record numbers for President Barack Obama sat on their hands when it came time to pick his successor.
Democrats who relied on the diverse coalition Obama put together in 2008 and 2012 were uniquely susceptible to that coalitions collapse in the Upper Midwest. Those states are more likely to be whiter, older and less educated than the national average, all factors that correlate with conservative voting patterns.
And those older, whiter, blue-collar workers have felt the stresses of a recession devastating to the manufacturing sector like no other group in America.

This guy has $43 million
in the bank and still sends out these scare-mongering emails to gun-and-Bible clinging rural Texans on a daily basis.
