Barack Obama
Obama was one of the first to know
According to his own, handwritten notes, former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the "approval, by Hillary Clinton, on July 26, 2016, of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors, to vilify Donald Trump, by stirring up a scandal, claiming interference by Russian security services."
The date of Brennan’s briefing is important: It was three days before the FBI’s collusion investigation, Crossfire-Hurricane, began.
Remember this? The FBI lovebirds text message:

Obama always knew . . . and approved.
