Federal prosecutor looking into Brennan's role in Russian interference findings: report
The Hill ^ | 12/20/19 | RACHEL FRAZIN

Posted on 12/20/2019 11:36:07 AM PST by Libloather

The federal prosecutor who is looking into the origins of the Russia investigation has begun looking into former CIA Director John Brennan, The New York Times reported Thursday, citing three people briefed on the matter.

U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is leading the inquiry, has asked for Brennan's emails, call logs and other documents, a person told the Times.

He is reportedly seeking to learn what Brennan told other officials about the CIA's opinion of a now-infamous dossier that made claims about Russia and figures in President Trump's orbit.

The Times reported that Durham is also looking at whether Brennan privately contradicted comments he made about the dossier and conclusions about Russian interference.

The people told the paper that the investigation was ongoing and it was not clear whether any crimes had been found.

Footnote: January 12 2017...A few days before President Trump was sworn in, Obama signed an Executive Order making it possible for ALL 17 intelligence agencies to reach into each others records and talk to each other.

But Comey and Brennan were discussing the dossier in December. Right or wrong, I don't know...but that EO was certainly for a specific purpose. Was THAT the insurance policy?

Agencies sharing information isn’t the problem here. The likely scenario is that the CIA was leaking phony stories to the leftist media, and the FBI was using those false stories to support its FISA warrant applications.

Obama BROADENED intelligence sharing for the sole purpose of ENSURING MORE LEAKS aimed at undermining Trump!

Also, if MORE people have access to information it becomes MORE difficult to isolate the source of leaks!

I’m at a point where I’ve lost confidence in (R)’s too to clean up the swamp. I’ve no confidence in any appointed inspector because we’ve been down this road so many times before without results in the face of absolute proof of wrong doings.

It may have been just to say all 17 intelligence agree that... whatever. One thing is for sure: it was intended to screw Trump

I do too, but my list is one name longer, and it goes right to: “The White House wants to know everything we do”.
Obama knew everything.

Of course, after BHusseinOsama, Brennan is the chief antiConstitution coup conspirator.
Should hang.

It's a lot easier to remove materials, too. And insert false information.

Think about the attorney who actually changed a letter re: Page??....but didn't remove the old one and any copies.

Heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from another Brennan said just that.

And no, Brennan & his pack of lawyers cannot know who the whistleblower is, or have his lawyers present at his testimonies.

We could find out nearly everything we need to know by simply arresting Lisa Page and letting her see what life in prison looks like. She would sequel like a stuck pig.

More to the point what will be the reaction people who still have faith in Barr and Durham be once that final bit of hope is crushed?

Barr, Durham and their team members should be justly concerned about flying, even on a US government airplane. Remembering Ron Brown!

Not sure what a frog march is, but those crooks in handcuffs and chains led to a cell works for me.

I agree. US Marshals/FBI should have cleaned out his office on day one.
