Durham Reportedly Investigating Whether CIA Withheld Information From FBI in Russia Probe
epoch times ^ | 2/13/2020 | Jeff Carlson

U.S. Attorney John Durham, tasked to look into the origins of the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, is now “investigating CIA resistance to sharing Russian secrets,” according to a Feb. 13 report in The New York Times.

According to the article, “Durham appears to be pursuing a theory that the C.I.A., under its former Director John O. Brennan, had a preconceived notion about Russia or was trying to get to a particular result—and was nefariously trying to keep other agencies from seeing the full picture lest they interfere with that goal.”

Additionally, Durham is reportedly looking into “whether and how information from foreign governments or the C.I.A. played any role in stoking suspicions at the F.B.I. about Trump campaign links to Russia.”

It had previously been reported that Durham was expected to seek an interview with Brennan as well as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, following an expansion of his investigation.

One question... If Steele would have come back and said he couldn’t find any Russian dirt on Trump, you think the CIA and F-troop would have said, “well ok, cool, thanks for answering our concern”?

They were on a lying mission and we all know it. In a well run nation they would face decades on prison or death.

Ain’t that the truth. Dem investigations since 2016 charge someone every every couple of months. Many are in prison. But Sessions and the Bagpiper haven’t brought a single case.

I know people believe in Durham, but I haven’t heard of a single search warrant, no swat team anywhere, no grand jury seated, nothing. Just a promise “investigating”.

Nothing.

Mueller used Gestapo tactics and we can’t even arrest people while abiding by the law.

Jack-booted thugs that show up in groups of 29 FBI agents in full SWAT gear along with CNN to perform a predawn home invasion on a 70+ year-old man and his deaf wife. They were probably hoping that Mrs. Stone, being deaf, would fail to respond to a verbal command so they could open fire.That FBI. And did any of those FBI agents turn down the assignment? None that were there. And no FBI agent spoke up about it, before, during, or after. That FBI.

If Haspel turns out to be a “super patriot” I shall take myself to a nunnery, in penance for thinking that Gina is one of the EVIL ones.

Ask Brennan about the CIA’s secret war with Russia and how they worked with the oligarch and loans to fund it for Obama.

On the other hand, zero leaks -could- also indicate nothing happening. An empty vessel doesn’t leak either. Maybe he’ll surprise us all, but I basically expect another scornful “report” of broken procedures, and a few recommended changes to fix things.

In 2008, Durham was appointed by Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate the destruction of CIA videotapes of detainee interrogations. On November 8, 2010, Durham closed the investigation without recommending any criminal charges be filed.

Hope I’m wrong.

Ironic that you’re the one to bring up Eisenhower re military-industrial complex on this thread. That was 70 years ago. A Swamp/Deep State at least 70 years in the making and you expected it to be unraveled and prosecuted in six months.

I'll say it again; Durham is not preparing a report. There will be no recommendations.

More hogwash reporting. According to who? The NYT? Based on what sources? Both the AG and Durham have been extremely careful and quiet and have chosen to surround themselves are non leakers. The reporting as far as I’m concerned is wishful thinking until valid sources are cited.

We all can see this was a team effort by agencies connected to Barak Obama. A conspiracy to overthrow a presidency. A coup. Of course, everyone in D.C. will ignore all of that.

...None of this matters until people go to jail and have their lives ruined like the victims of this failed coup.

An appetizer to cheer you up: Michael Avenatti is now in jail. His Twitter page has no entries after Jan. 14 when he got busted. He was arrested after he broke the conditions of his bail by trying to hide his assets. A small fish fry but a good sign for things to come!

At least Mueller’s delivered a report.

Yeah, one that he hadn't even read or knew what the hell was in it.

Well I said when I was 18 going to work in Manhattan that they’d be working on the BQE until I was an old man.

It’s getting close.

Nostradamus has nothing on me :)

I didn’t bring up Eisenhower and the Mil/Industrial complex in this thread sport. I brought up JFK and Truman. JFK said he wanted to smash the CIA and scatter it to the winds. They blew his head off.
Exactly a month after Lee Harvey Oswald “acted alone”, and the nation was still in shock, Truman put an Op/Ed in the Washington Post saying he regretted ever creating them and they have grown in a direction that was casting a shadow on our free institutions and our free and open society.

I agree with them and think it’s time the CIA is disbanded.

Nothing leaked from John Huber either. What happened there
who was charged, was there a report, a Grand Jury

Only when a Republican gets his neck in a noose do they stand him up on a chair and kick it out from under him.

Who killed Seth Rich, they didn’t rob his Rolex or cash.
