Watch John Brennan Desperately try to Set a Favorable Narrative, and Fail
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 05/15/2019 12:33:20 PM PDT by EyesOfTX

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.

To All,

I have watched the video and Brennan's body language is astonishing. EyesOfTX did a good job of verbalizing it, but watching the video is certainly worth it.

Here's a link to Mr. Blackmon's (EyesOfTX ) blog. His blog has a link to the video.

I saw this earlier but didn’t have time...thanks for the ping!!!

I think the highest person going down for all this is going to be either Brennan or Comey...and I think it is going to be Brennan, that beady-eyed, subversive, treasonous POS.

My [Brennan's]narrative is that Barr is attempting to promote Trump's narrative that this was spying rather than our [Brennan's] narrative that this was conducted by a domestic law enforcement office (the FBI) and so it is "surveillance" and not "spying". That's our story and unlike Trump's and Barr's story that is the story I am sticking with.

Forget the facts. What we have are competing narrative and who are you - the pissed off deplorable voters - to pick one narrative over the other narrative - that is unless you pick our narrative in which case we applaud your perspicacity.

Because, he, Brennan, is dumber than the rock he crawled out from under, I don’t think he will notice the difference between his office and a prison cell.

You're right soup... Brennan's so vile and creepy he thinks it's ok to say 'Mr'...Maybe when Brennan's in prison for treason he'll learn some respect for the office of the President. Maybe Brennan and Micheal Avenatti - two darlings of CNN - can share a prison cell...those two deserve each other.

Laura Ingraham - sources told her that in the Dec. 16 2016 emails is evidence that Comey didn’t want to use the dossier. And that DJT will release all the relevant documents leading up to the Russia probe next week.

Brennen should be corrected about calling Trump MR Trump instead of PRESIDENT Trump.

His response should be revealing.

Never deport traitors.

They set up shadow governments in other countries and continually attack

Never let them leave.
