Obama's CIA boss hints at Russia collusion
WND ^ | 05/23/2017 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 05/23/2017 6:41:09 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Brennan, who previously lied under oath to Congress, bemoans Moscow's 'brazen' attempts to influence election!

Former CIA Director John Brennan told a U.S. House committee Tuesday that Russia was “brazen” in its attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election in the United States, and while he was unable to determine whether there was “collusion” between the Russians and members of the Trump presidential campaign, he was “aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign.”

He was convinced, he explained to members of Congress, those indicators were “worthy” of a formal investigation.

However, neither Brennan nor the House Intelligence committee discussed accusations that he, himself, had colluded with Russia on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Nor was his admission to having voted for a Communist Party candidate in the 1976 election ever mentioned.

Nor was the fact a 2012 WikiLeaks email dump pointed to him “as the person behind the ‘witch hunt’ of journalists who reported unflattering Obama administration leaks.”

Nor was his refusal to use a Bible, as tradition prescribes, when he was sworn into office.

Nor was his graduate thesis in which he denied the existence of “absolute human rights” and said government censorship of speech was an appropriate management tool.

Nor was his insistence that people not use the word “jihadist” to describe terrorists.

Nor was his lying to Congress.

Democrats did not care about actual foreign manipulation and collusion in Presidential elections.

One of the 2016 presidential candidates got cash on the barrelhead for selling a significant part of the United States' uranium resources to the Russians. The MSM then accuses the other of colluding with the Russians.

But you would figure Brennan would be a star witness. He hyped Russian influence, yea they contacted political campaigns. That is what diplomats do. The reached out and made contacts wi path Trump camp. Whoopee, they called them, but then the big one was but no evidence of collusion, meaning nobody called them back. He went on to say that they tried there same old ways to compromise people into cooperating, but then gave no indication that it worked.

So Brenna. Was a bust. Now even the Dems are walking this whole story back with the base to save face when the story finally dies in 3-6 months, They likely hope some other event will kick off the headlines and we stupid American voters will forget about it.

Why doesn’t one of those politicians ask for just one specific intrusion into the election by the Russians? Just one. I mean, just one little ol’ one.

I listened to the hearings. Brennan said the opposite, that there was no evidence of collusion.

Did they ask if there was contact with Russians and Hillary’s staff?

“Brennan resigned the day of the inauguration.”

Yes. Trump had already selected Pompeo to replace Brennan. Trump didn’t trust Brennan, for obvious reasons. Brennan decided to leave before Pompeo was confirmed.

Is that like Obama's attempts to influence the BRexit vote, Israel's elections, France's election, etc. etc.?

In an “off the record” comment, Barack Obama told Russian officials he could be “more flexible” (friendly to their positions) AFTER the 2012 election.

Watch Brennan spin lie after lie into a wormy mess at the current intelligence hearings.

Obama is smirking.

The lamestream media is gobbling it up and asking for seconds.

Practically, taqiyya is any form of lying, deceit, misleading, half-truths or related practices condoned by Islamic doctrine to further the growth of Islam or to protect the individual from harm.
