Barr/Durham Inquiry is Making the CIA Nervous? COOL!
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 06/13/2019 10:40:36 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

If William Barr achieves nothing else in his go-round at DOJ, he has already shown just how important it is for our country to have a real, actual, fully-functioning Attorney General. That reality was emphasized yet again in the bombshell new report from the New York Times – base solely on anonymous “sources”, of course, because it is the NYTimes, after all – that claims that John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the whole “Spygate” scandal will include interviews with “at least one senior counterintelligence official and a senior C.I.A. analyst.”

Cool! You can feel the sweat breaking out on John Brennan’s forehead even as you read this report. Brennan, after all, was the CIA Director when all the shenanigans were taking place, and we already know as a matter of public record that he was knee-deep in all of it. The Times, of course, does its best to try to create sympathy for CIA personnel by carefully justifying their “work” as attempts to understand “Russian intereference” in the 2016 election, but we all know that’s a myth because Barack Hussein Obama his own self told us so on several occasions. And if reading this following paragraph from the story doesn’t enrage you as an American citizen, then you need to read up on your civics lessons:

“While the Justice Department review is not a criminal inquiry, it has provoked anxiety in the ranks of the C.I.A., according to former officials. Senior agency officials have questioned why the C.I.A.’s analytical work should be subjected to a federal prosecutor’s scrutiny. Attorney General William P. Barr, who is overseeing the review, assigned the United States attorney in Connecticut, John H. Durham, to conduct it.”

Think about what that paragraph actually says in plain English: That “Senior agency officials” the Times claims to have spoken with literally believe they and their “analytical work”, i.e., the assignment of a parade of CIA operatives like Stefan Halper, Joseph Mifsud and others to try to entrap Trump campaign officials in violations of the law, is somehow exempt from scrutiny. In other words, these deep state snakes and skunks really and truly do believe they are simply above the law.

After all, if a federal prosecutor working directly under the supervision of the nation’s highest law enforcement official has no right to investigate their actions, then who in the hell does? Who do these people think they are?

And guess what? The next paragraph should enrage you even more than you already are:

“The Justice Department has not submitted formal written requests to talk to the C.I.A. officers, but law enforcement officials have told intelligence officials that Mr. Durham will seek the interviews, two of the people said. Communications officers for both the C.I.A. and the Justice Department declined to comment.”

Understand what’s happening here yet? Yep, this article is an effort by the news-fakers at the New York Times to help their deep state sources in and around the CIA to try to intimidate Barr and Durham from moving forward by publicly exposing their plans. This is sleazy, despicable and just one more proof point showing why fake news outlets like the Times are in fact the enemies of the American people.

But wait, there’s more, as the late, great Billy Mays used to say. Watch as the current CIA Director, appointed by President Trump, sends a not-so-coded message to her stressed employees and Brennan:

“The C.I.A. director, Gina Haspel, has told senior officials that her agency will cooperate — but will still work to protect critical pieces of intelligence whose disclosure could jeopardize sources, reveal collection methods or disclose information provided by allies, according to current and former American officials.

“Ms. Haspel will not block the interviews and has told the agency that talking with Mr. Durham need not jeopardize secrets and is consistent with cooperating with Mr. Barr’s inquiry.”

Ah, yes, the old “sources and methods” dodge – Haspel here is promising to use it liberally to protect “her people.” Let’s remember that Haspel just happened to be the London station chief for the CIA while Brennan was the agency’s director, and that much of the entrapment efforts during 2016 took place in….wait for it…London!

Oh.

You have to get all the way down to the 10th paragraph of the story – which the Times knows is well past where 90% of its short-attention-span readers will ever bother to tread – to what Barr and Durham are really trying to get at in this piece of their investigation:

“Mr. Barr wants to know more about the C.I.A. sources who helped inform its understanding of the details of the Russian interference campaign, an official has said. He also wants to better understand the intelligence that flowed from the C.I.A. to the F.B.I. in the summer of 2016.

“During the final weeks of the Obama administration, the intelligence community released a declassified assessment that concluded that Mr. Putin ordered an influence campaign that “aspired to help” Mr. Trump’s electoral chances by damaging Mrs. Clinton’s. The C.I.A. and the F.B.I. reported they had high confidence in the conclusion. The National Security Agency, which conducts electronic surveillance, had a moderate degree of confidence.”

The “declassified assessment” the Times refers to is the Intelligence Community Assessment that our national teenage drama queen James Comey and other presented to President Trump during the transition following the 2016 election. We now know – Comey has testified to this under oath – that the Drama Queen’s “mission” that day was to inform the incoming President about the existence of the Steele Dossier. Comey and then-Director of National Intelligence had been trying to get the fake news hacks at CNN to run with the Dossier, but, in a rare display of a modicum of journalistic ethics, had been told by CNN that they would not report on the Dossier unless they knew that Trump had been briefed on it.

All of which is why, as he left that meeting in Trump Tower, Comey then phoned Clapper and delivered the simple message, “Mission Accomplished.” CNN ran with the story that night, and a few months later gave Clapper a big contract as a “contributor.”

So, when you see the Times trying to intimidate Barr and Durham away from looking into the CIA’s role in all of that, you know that the investigation is on the right track.

When CIA officials who worked for John Brennan are so nervous they go looking for cover from their media toadies, that’s good news for all real Americans.

Boom.

That is all.

I hope they make all “seventeen intelligence communities” who have been trying to bring down the president since the night he was elected nervous as hell. Obama’s boys.

CIA dudes will be nervous. They will go get anti-psychotic meds using their gov’t paid healthcare. They will wonder whether their pensions might be in jeopardy. A few of them will gain a few pounds.

Non-CIA dudes will be in jail or bankrupted by legal bills. Or both.

I'm so excited, this is better that a big "TICK TOCK" from, "not the rank and file" Hannity.

Please, just wake me when we get the first indictment, perp walk and prison sentence to a real player.

I'm sorry, but if it takes 4 years to get a coup stopped and punished, the deep state has won.

Apr 15, 1865 Lincoln murdered.
May 1, 1865 Pres Andrew Johnson orders military tribunal. HUNDREDS investigated and charges filed within 10 days.
June 30th 1865, 4 conspirators having been found guilty are hanged to death.

57 days, crime to punishment.

Real justice is SWIFT and BLIND. Not endlessly delayed and worried about optics.

Ecc 8:11
When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

Mueller’s report was released on April 18, 2019, 56 days ago.

Many here believed Trump would let Mueller’s report fall first.

I am tired of Hannity’s “not the rank and file” line. Not one FBI came to Trump’s defense and protected him. By no actions the rank and file is guilty as Comey. The FBI is a criminal organization. Time to break up. Time for Trump to fire all and start over again.

Do you think we should accept a 4 year+ turnaround time on treason charges?

Defeats the purpose of elections altogether IMHO.

No, noting it hasn’t been that long since the Rats shot their best and missed.

From me 30 minutes ago on another thread:

President Trump, we really need some arrests soon.

Just an internal performance review. We’ve got to make sure that we commit treason more efficiently next time.

Re-tweeting essentially the same few posts about the worst scam in American history and pronouncing it “sad” isn’t going to cut it much longer.

One of the conspirators hung for Lincoln's murder was a hotel owner who allowed the conspiracy to form in her building.

Talk of "optics" and "media cover" is bull IMHO. Many of them deserve the gallows.

We the people know the difference between right and wrong, and if we are denied justice through the ballot box and the jury box, the cartridge box is our only remaining option.

The Bundy Ranch Standoff happened 5 years ago now. Those that say we have time to wait for "justice" have entirely missed that historic timeline marker.

CIA Director under President Obama, John Brennan

John Brennan Voted Communist in 1976, Then Entered CIA in 1980

Eric Zuesse
March 31, 2018

Barack Obama’s CIA chief, John Brennan, told the Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus, on 15 September 2016, in Washington DC, that when he had applied in 1980 to join the CIA, he admitted to them that in the 1976 Presidential election, when Jimmy Carter was running against Gerald Ford, Brennan had voted instead for the candidate of the U.S. Communist Party, Gus Hall, and that he was then greatly relieved to find that this information didn’t cause rejection of his CIA-application.

This had happened 11 years before the 1991 end of the Cold War...”

"During the Cold War the CPUSA [Communist Party, USA] had a parallel underground structure, and a small number of people spied for Moscow.

Until the 1980s the party was receiving substantial amounts of Soviet funding, says Klehr, money that the FBI knew about and tracked."

Just watched Bourne Ultimatum again last night. The first time I watched it I scoffed at the storyline turning the CIA into bad guys. Not anymore.

If it isn’t criminal it is as you say academic. If nothing happens to the deep state goons next time a socialist/communist/democrat wins the white house they will never lose it ever again and the deep state goons will be turned loose on half the country.

Increasingly I am not looking for justice anymore, the DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA/IRS are corrupt and beyond redemption from the top down I trust none of them. Twenty years ago I can’t imagine thinking this much less saying it.

The point you’re making doesn’t whiz me off as much as THIS one if it means what it sounds like: “While the Justice Department review is not a criminal inquiry...” WTH?! Are we to understand that Barr and Durham are NOT looking for criminal wrongdoing with an eye to punishment; but are just gathering info in order to sweep it under the rug later. Barr & Durham are lifers in DOJ! Will they convict their career buddies? Hell No!
