The federal prosecutor investigating the origins of the Russia inquiry is examining testimony by the former C.I.A. director John Brennan and seeking his communications records.
The federal prosecutor scrutinizing the Russia investigation has begun examining the role of the former C.I.A. director John O. Brennan in how the intelligence community assessed Russia’s 2016 election interference, according to three people briefed on the inquiry.
John H. Durham, the United States attorney leading the investigation, has requested Mr. Brennan’s emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A., according to a person briefed on his inquiry. He wants to learn what Mr. Brennan told other officials, including the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, about his and the C.I.A.’s views of a notorious dossier of assertions about Russia and Trump associates.
Mr. Durham’s pursuit of Mr. Brennan’s records is certain to add to accusations that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies. The president has long attacked Mr. Brennan as part of his narrative about a so-called deep state cabal of Obama administration officials who tried to sabotage his campaign, and Mr. Trump has held out Mr. Durham’s investigation as a potential avenue for proving those claims.
Mr. Durham is also examining whether Mr. Brennan privately contradicted his public comments, including May 2017 testimony to Congress, about both the dossier and about any debate among the intelligence agencies over their conclusions on Russia’s interference, the people said.

NYT, once again doing its best to warn the criminals. tic-tic-tic ...
I want to see John Brennan get the perp walk to the local pokey..hey I can dream can’t I..I want him to get the Roger Stone treatment, FBI raiding his house in the middle of the night when that commie freak is wearing his Jihadist PJs
This is what we call "narrative engineering".
“is sure too...”
Hey, NY Slimes, it’s only an investigation to review SpyGate.
What’s the problem?
Damage control whining from John Brennan. He’s cooked.
Starting to get real for the commie Brennan.
CIA electronic message and telephone record equipment will be shown to mysteriously malfunction on the crucial dates. No one knows why.
Brennan did not INTEND to get caught.
One chews their way up to the top during an investigation, so Durham seems to have most of his work done.
“NYT, once again doing its best to warn the criminals. “
No need, the person “briefed” is Brennan’s lawyer. This is a welp of pain.
Durham is just now realizing he needs to talk to Brennan? That is not good.
I have had the feeling that Brennan was the real driver behind the Dossier Coup.
Your cynicism is wholly justified.
“Contradicted”. NYT you are scared $hitless about your whole russia narrative and your friend Brennan.
Yeah, only the Deep State is allowed to go after their perceived enemies. With manufactured evidence. And lies. And leaks. And media malfeasance. I knew this was the hill they would retreat too. Problem is, they were sloppy because they all expected Hillary to win. Durham has ample bread crumbs to work with as a result.
Check on CIA agent Ciaramella too.
Thank you! Good term. Narrative Engineering is what our 4th Estate does. Not report the news
