Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
The cornered rats are really scurrying for cover this week, and ex-CIA Director Dar Adol, er, John Brennan provided today’s best example in an interview with MSNBC’s favorite pet fake Republican, former Jeb! Bush operative Nicolle Wallace. During the course of this brief interview, Brennan admits that the CIA was indeed “coordinating closely” with the FBI in its spying operation that targeted Trump Campaign officials, and continued to push the narrative that none of this obvious spying was in fact “spying.” *sigh*
Here’s the clip:
As a service to those of you who still like to read stuff, I spent 20 minutes of my life transcribing this clip verbatim. I’ve also inserted comments contained within [ ] noting Brennan’s body language, which clearly indicates he is lying throughout this clip and is very self-conscious and frankly transparent about it. Here you go.
======================================
Nicolle Wallace: Who uses the word “spying” to describe lawful surveillance in a counterintelligence probe, other than Sean Hannity [snicker,snicker]?
Brennan: [clears throat] um,uh well William Barr, uh, clearly, and uh I think Donald Trump as well.
Wallace: Why?
Brennan: uh, well, [closed eyes, hunched shoulders] I think they’re clearly trying [smiling with corners of mouth turned down] to, uh, imply, and to really [hunched shoulders, tucked chin, wiggling in seat] you know, uh,uh, indicate that there was uh, misuse [nods head, affirming the misuse] of authorities…that was not the case [nods head again].
Does CIA ‘spy’? Yes. [nods head, affirming the spying] uh, do we spy against our foreign adversaries? Yes. [nods again] Do we spy against domestic individuals? No, we do not [nods head repeatedly during this, indicating deception]. We cuw…we worked very closely [hunched shoulders] with the FBI[he just admitted CIA coordinated with the FBI to spy on the Trump Campaign], and when the Russians were trying to interfere in that election, and to change the outcome of it in their favor, we, the CIA and FBI, worked very collaboratively so that we could have that ability to see what the Russians were doing and who they were working with.
So when William Barr said ‘spying’, it clearly indicated that there was something that was inappropriate, if not illegal [nods head]. Nobody used the term spying when they’re referring to legitimate, predicated, authorized investigative actions that were part of the FBI. [Note how he leaves out the CIA in that passage.]
Wallace: Why do you think he uses it? Is it taunting, does it signal to the intelligence community that he’s coming for you? Does it signal that he’s watched too much Sean Hannity? What does that word mean inside the intelligence community?
Brennan: Well I think he’s playing to Mr. Trump. I think throughout that testimony it was clear that what Mr. Barr was doing was try to say things and to try to characterize things [rapid eye-blinking throughout this] in a manner that was consistent with what Mr. Trump has said, but also very supportive of it. So, eh, and wh…and when he responded to Kamala Harris and others on these issues [looks down and to the left] he thought about it and they asked him, well, was there spying? Well, well yeah, there was.[!]
Well, to me that really suggests that he already is [hunches shoulders, wiggles in seat, looks down and to the left] looking at things that w..uh..[hunches shoulders, nods head] really did not happen. It was predicated, it was legal, it was authorized [oh, so it DID happen?]. So if they want to take a look at the FISA practices [shakes head throughout] look at other things? [hunches shoulders, shakes head] uh, that’s legitimate. There is a question about whether or not there’s gonna be all these competing investigations and how that’s gonna suck the air out of that whole environment [oh, like the past two years for example?] But it’s clear in my mind [looking down and to the left] that what Mr. Barr was suggesting was that the FBI [and the CIA?] was engaged in politically-motivated spying against one of the candidates.
=================================
So, over the last 10 days or so, we have seen Sally Yates, James Comey, James Baker, James Clapper and now John Brennan making very public efforts to create a favorable narrative for their behavior during 2016. This is being done in advance of the pending public release of the Horowitz Report on FISA abuse, and amid news of the advance of AG William Barr’s own investigation into the origins of the spying operation against the Trump Campaign. We’ve also seen Comey and Rod Rosenstein sniping at one another in public, and Comey and Brennan pointing fingers at each other over which of them insisted upon including the Steele Dossier in their FISA applications.
This is clearly a coordinated effort among these likely suspects, and may well indicate that a draft of the final Horowitz report began circulating about two weeks ago, sending the people named in it into a panic.
It seems to me that someone really should remind all of these skunks that they have the right to remain silent.
That is all.

“Nicolle Wallace is one NASTY B@TCH!”
The way she treated Sarah Palin was atrocious. She’s a soul-less harpy.
Our intell agencies messed up the Bay of Pigs operation in Cuba, missed the Iranian takeover by the Islamists, were surprised by the fall of the Soviet Union, and had no clue that the 9/11 attacks would show how ignorant they were of the Islamists’ war with America.
What else are they oblivious to while they have been spying on Donald Trump for the past three years? If these rogue agencies were shut down, would we feel less safe than we feel now?
McCabe is probably the first to sing and get the good deal...
I can’t wait to see him taken down.
The best part is with those swamp dwellers is that there will be NO pardons in the wings for any of them.
In terms of using government power against political opponents, this makes Watergate into a splash in the inflated kiddie pool by comparison.
All concerned thought they were making brownie points with the guaranteed winner of Madam Hillary! Oops!
The ultimate punishment for the Kenyan would be deportation to guess where?
So if it was legitimate (and NOT ‘spying’) then did they share the information with Obama/HilLIARy/the DNC?
Why was Susan Rice unmasking 200 people from The White House?
Why is she saying it was not her signature? Was someone else using her name? You would think that would be important, and they would be anxious to know.
Methinks you’re giving that dipsh!t way too much credit. Look to the one who was close, but hasn’t been named in any of this mess... Valarie Jarrett. She was the mastermind.
valjar is obama’s handler, the big question is who does she take her marching orders from?
and it continued long after Donald Trump became President! wow.
and they set up Mueller and his merry band of mostly Dem-connected attorneys to destroy people connected to Donald Trump’s campaign, as a warning to anyone who would support a non-”selected” candidate ever again. this continued way beyond the mid-term elections, which led to the Dems taking the House, making it two elections they colluded on.
criminal.
No question.......V/J managed both Obamas every move.
I’m thinking she just could be the alpha and omega.
She did her Clower, Piven, and Alinsky homework
faithfully thru the years.....maybe.

Well I think he’s playing to Mr. Trump.

Wouldnt that be PRESIDENT Trump?
I’m hoping I live another 15 or so years and this will still be dragging out.
Somewhere around 2050 they’ll all be found guilty posthumously.

Brennan is essentially saying “It isn’t spying because we get to do that.” I don’t think that particular approach is going to cut much ice.

Check out article, #2 , #4 , and #34.
None of this najes sense. Comey must have authorized the spies. But what did comey see to warrant this? No way a limp dick like comey does something with getting ok from lynch jarret and obama if i was comey i would tell all now saying obama told ne to do this
