Former CIA director Brennan under investigation for perjury
americanthinker ^ | February 12, 2018 | Rick Moran

Obama appointee and former CIA director John Brennan is the target of a perjury investigation by the House Intelligence Committee.

Chairman Devin Nunes is turning his attention to the role the CIA played in promoting the Steele dossier.

Brennan said under oath that he didn't know who commissioned the dossier and that it was not used to conclude that Russia had meddled in the 2016 presidential campaign.

Brennan also swore that he did not know who commissioned the anti-Trump research document, even though senior national security and counterintelligence officials at the Justice Department and FBI knew the previous year that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Last week, Nunes released a declassified memo exposing surveillance "abuses" by the Obama DOJ and FBI in investigating Trump's ties to Russia. It said the agencies relied heavily on the uncorroborated dossier to take out a warrant to secretly surveil a Trump adviser in the heat of the 2016 presidential election, even though they were aware the underlying "intelligence" supporting the wiretap order was political opposition research funded by Clinton allies – a material fact they concealed from FISA court judges in four separate applications.

Nunes plans to soon release a separate report detailing the Obama State Department's role in creating and disseminating the dossier. Among other things, the report will identify Obama-appointed diplomats who worked with partisan operatives close to Hillary Clinton to help ex-British spy Christopher Steele compile the dossier, sources say.

An aide, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said Nunes will focus on Brennan as well as President Obama's first CIA director, Leon Panetta, along with the former president's intelligence czar, James Clapper, and national security adviser, Susan Rice, and security adviser-turned U.N. ambassador Samantha Power, among other intelligence officials.

Forget Brennan and perjury. Nail him for Sedition and Treason for using his secret HAMMER Supercomputer to spy on all Americans and especially President Trump and his staff.

“THE HAMMER” — Ultra-secret Supercomputer System Used by CIA/NSA to ‘Wiretap’ Trump

Trump Wiretapped By ‘The Hammer,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System

Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped “A Zillion Times” By ‘The Hammer,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System - The HAMMER

General Thomas McInernery discusses “THE HAMMER” the wiretapping of Donald Trump “A Zillion Times” by secret super computer of Brennan and Clapper

McInernery - "Hillary had a rogue server, first email that went to WH had to be reported to WH chief of staff. . NSA has the 32,000 emails Hillary deleted. . . classified information was divulged . enemies Russia, China, Iran, tapped into her server. . Hillary and Obama in violations of the espionage act. . Obama used a pseudonym. . why dems bringing up Russia-Russia and other things because they don't want Justice Department to go after this issue. . along with Clinton Foundation. . from Admiral Lyons: Clapper and Brennan oversaw the secret supercomputer system called the HAMMER. . using the HAMMER to conduct illegal and unconstitutional government data harvesting and wiretapping. . a secret CIA operation. . Binney, Johnson and Klayman all corroborate this. . . "One of the audio tapes made public by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow revealed that Brennan and Clapper targeted Trump and wiretapped Donald Trump 'a zillion times.'" . . . definite violations of the espionage act. . Obama's executive order two weeks before he left where NSA info. . doesn't have to hold it, can be sent to 16 other intelligence agencies to be leaked. No doubt President Obama is guilty of violations of the espionage act. . AG Sessions has to take a look at this and proceed. . I don't think Sessions is corrupt. . Sessions hasn't recused himself re The HAMMER. . The Russians stealing the election is tactical deception to avoid this. .

Brennan HAMMER

We can't let this die. AG Jeff Sessions, is Brennan currently being investigates for his use of the HAMMER against President Trump, his staff and many other Americans?

Exactly! That blasted recusal that Sessions drug in is a heavy drag on Trump. Sessions is not functioning anywhere, anyway, that we can see.

Of course we don’t know what investigations are active in the DOJ. That would alert the targets.

I’m for whatever takes him down.

Still, we’re not seeing anyone imprisoned for their ill deeds.

Hope Sessions redeems the months, but with no Special Counsel in sight for our side to press any charges after doing investigations, or to convene a grand jury outside DC, no one goes even to court, or jail. I don’t get it. Congress needs to scream for one, I guess.

The Trump clock is running on time. You know what I mean?

I guess I see AB Sessions and Trump a bit differently. With almost countless crimes committed by literally hundreds of people, many involving foreign governments or entities, and some of the criminals in gov, or previous gov, untangling the many strings, getting it all documented and legally air tight, takes a while.

Just think of a FEW of the criminal enterprises that need to be investigated:

The attempt to take out Trump with lying dossier by federal agencies
Hitlery and her emails
Clinton crime foundation including when Hitlery was SoS
0bola allowing Hezbollah into the US with heroin
Obola’s fake indentity
Benghazi - and the whole taken down of Libry (Where’s the 6 billion in GOLD??)
Fast and Furious
The Iran deal and all that
Uranium 1

And I’m sure there are MANY more!

Neither you nor I know what is going on, because any prosecutor or investigator who actually wants convictions announces a play by play of what or who they are investigating.

Also Sessions and Wray have had to figure out who the good guys and bad guys are in their agencies and cripple the bad ones and investigate them, using only the good guys to do the work.

This rot, corruption, crime and outright treason has been going of for years. Expecting miraculous perp walks in a year or less is just not rational.

I have no doubt that a helluva lot is going on behind the scenes, and people who are doubting Sessions will be quite surprised, and happy, when it all gets made public.

We should not know much about any investigations if you are interested in convictions. If you just want a grandstanding blabbermouth then JS is not your man. How much did you know about Guiliani’s investigation of the Five Families prior to indictments? Nothing.

What we do know is that he has been hitting Illegalism harder than anyone ever has.

Some of the things which can be publicized without jeopardizing future prosecutions are on the DoJ website.

So many scandals, so little time. Your list names the main scandals. If we get convictions on half of them, I would call it good. What we won't take is nothing happening.

Thanks for pointing out, "This rot, corruption, crime and outright treason has been going of for years. Expecting miraculous perp walks in a year or less is just not rational."

I'm as impatient as the next person here. I think we all think 'just arrest them already' but our rational side says this all takes a long time. We have seven more years. Go Jeff Sessions and all the White Hats in D.C.! We're rooting for you! Stay safe and get all the ducks in a row.

We need to confront these people are Domestic Enemies out to destroy us. Until We the People confront this fact, some will attempt to work with these communists. The next battle is amnesty. The left demands amnesty. We have to fight this tooth and nail or we will forever lose many red states. The communists want us destroyed. We have to fight them just as our Founding Fathers fought the British. It's only a matter of time. Pray for America and Prepare.

Okay, let me defend Rice. She emailed herself a cya and everyone has forgotten what Obama’s playbook reads? How did he win his elections on his way to power?... So Susan reminds herself to play by THAT book!

Play by the book = use Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals just like always with a smattering of the Communist Manifesto thrown in.

Brennan and Clapper, both, are die hard Democrats...a big part of the swamp. Both should be in prison. The real issue, since Bill Clinton was President, is lack of people in WH, government, even Intel agencies...that DO NOT have proper SECURITY CLEARANCE! Unbelievable, that it has not been addressed and people arrested!

No, I myself don’t believe that “the cover-up is worse than the crime” but I’m perfectly willing to use the leftist’s own arguments against them.
