While John Brennan denies under oath that he "read the dossier" until October or November 2016, the weaselly SOB worded it that way for specific way for a reason.
The "dossier" was a cluster of derogatory documents clumped together, but it is 100% clear on two specific counts:
First,
while Brennan is lying through his teeth and trying to be clever about it by saying he "didn't read the dossier" until months later after the election, he apparently had full knowledge of the separate documentary content prior to his brief of the "Gang of Eight" in August 2016.
How do we know this?
Because a day or two after Brennan briefed Harry Reid (as part of the Gang of Eight) Reid wrote a letter to the FBI demanding an investigation into the Trump campaign, and in that letter...Reid specifically mentioned the slander of Carter Page being offered or accepting a multi-million dollar bribe from the Russian government of entities tied to the Russian Government.
It is completely false and a lie, but they did is specifically as a basis to help them obtain a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. (The bribery would have been a crime) Of course, it never happened, has been proven to be a complete manufactured falsehood, and no charges have ever been filed., but the key is...
The ONLY place that information was available at that time was in the "dossier". So Brennan "told" Reid about it, and Reid included the allegation in his letter to the FBI a day or two later. The ONLY person he could have heard that from was Brennan. I have "told" in quotes, because I see it more as a collaboration between Brennan and Reid in the setup and surveillance of Donald Trump and his campaign.
Secondly,
Brennan also testified under oath that he briefed the Gang of Eight in "full coordination with the White House" which meant...the White House knew 100% what Brennan was selling. Which means President Barack Obama also had full knowledge of the sewage that Brennan was peddling.
We many never see Obama called to account on this.
But I do believe there is a chance we will see that scumbag Brennan nailed to the hull. Improbable, but I believe it could happen. Brennan coordinated this with foreign intelligence, which is where the whole issue has come to a head in the past two days about Joseph Mifsud who said through his lawyer that he was instructed to link George Papadopoulos to Russia.
Instructed (as a Western intelligence asset NOT RUSSIAN) to do this by...whom? The answer is obvious to me, given Brennan's unprecedented meeting with Robert Hannigan in July 2016 (Hannigan should have met with Admiral Mike Rogers who is his peer, but...Admiral Rogers was not trusted by the Obama Administration because of his slamming shut of contractor access to the NSA database when he discovered "irregularities" in access to information. So he met with Brennan before Brennan briefed the Gang of Eight.
Then Hannigan abruptly resigned for "personal reasons" after Trump won the election.
It was Brennan who is dirty with all of this.
Brennan also testified under oath that he briefed the Gang of Eight in “full coordination with the White House” which meant...the White House knew 100% what Brennan was selling. Which means President Barack Obama also had full knowledge of the sewage that Brennan was peddling.
More importantly, it means McConnell and Ryan knew. This is the genesis of the bipartisan Mueller Coup right here.
