Durham Is Scrutinizing Ex-C.I.A. Director’s Role in Russian Interference Findings
NYT ^

Posted on 12/19/2019 4:57:18 PM PST by Bigtigermike

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.

Barry’s appointing JOBrennan to CIA Director was payback for decades of help to construct the false narrative and documentation for Barry’s life.

Brennan’s re-purposing $2B worth of USNavy submarine, gear, our own Navy personnel and like foreign military divers to affect election fraud and keep Barry’s fictional birth narrative hidden (Brennan’s own work for decades) will come back to convict him for his part in the slow-moving, on-going the coup.

She's draped herself in "white hat" signals, despite some calling her "bloody Gina."

Curiously, typing in "Haspel CIA white hat blouse" in a search engine didn't have a single occurrence of her wearing the above blouse, until the moment I uploaded the above image to web space. Now my image is there, first in line, for me, at least.

The hunters become the hunted. I hope Durham is serious about this.

NYT perception steeped in the past. Fifteen to twenty years ago the media had a lot more power to construct mass public thinking to fit their desires. Things be a changin’ nowadays. But, they can dream.

the people said.

Who are these "people"? I don't like that Durham's got leakers. He needs to plug those holes and prosecute them to the fullest. On the other hand, if he's interviewing brennan and his associates, then they are probably the source of leaks, in which case by opinion still stands. He needs to prosecute them to the fullest.

Better “detain” Brennan “for his own protection”, of course, so he doesn’t scoot out of country for a friendly communist or muslim country...

Durham is just now realizing he needs to talk to Brennan? That is not good.

It's my understanding that they don't speak with the big fish until they have built the case already with the little ones.

Wake me when the prison gate slams behind some leftist’s guilty ass. Until THAT day, this is NOTHING but a lotta jaw-jackin’; “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

>Now Mifsud is dead? We probably would have heard so. The fact that Durham and Barr went to Italy means some evidence is out there. I think in 2017-2018, Mifsud was sequestered to a small town somewhere so no one could get to him, but then this came out a month ago:

https://www.adnkronos.com/fatti/esteri/2019/11/13/mifsud-mai-stato-infiltrato_4P4TPqYkt5RAoGUPC5JJmN.html?refresh_ce

The jist of the article is that he's had no contact with anyone for years because of Mueller, and that he denies everything and that Link Campus (the western intelligence training campus in Rome) has nothing to do with it either.

I think this is a complete lie.

“records is certain to add to accusations that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies”.

Shows you how they are going to frame it - abuse of power by the President - using Justice to go after his enemies. If a riches still haven’the been delivered, the President will still be under suspicion. They are scared to death!

Brennan is a psycho and a possible traitor. One way to see who he was working for is to list all the known CIA major failures while he was working for them in a position of leadership (even below Director).

If he was around on Benghazi, Afghanistan, Iraq and ISIS, Boko Harum, the sea pirates of Africa, and the deceptive actions of Pakistan on Afghanistan and helping the U.S., among other fiascos (Venezula, for one, Brazil for another), then you know that “Someone is rotten in the U.S. , not Denmark”).

Lots of lies flying about. Truth be told it’s just about all lies. People “waiting for Durham” because he’s the “straight shooter”. Just like Horowitz was gonna be a “straight shooter Boy Scout” just like Comey was.

Did anybody here know Horowitz’ WIFE WORKS AT CNN?
