John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue

... Brennan dimly understood that there would be hell to pay if it came out that Hillary partisans in the U.S. government were spying on her opponent’s campaign, making use of opposition research that she had purchased. But Brennan, who was auditioning to be Hillary’s CIA director and choking on his anger at the thought of Trump as president, couldn’t help himself apparently. From April 2016 to July 2016, according to leaked stories in the British press, he assembled a multi-agency taskforce that served as the beginnings of a counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign. During these months, he was “personally briefing” Obama on “Russian interference” — Brennan’s euphemism for spying on the Trump campaign — and was practically camped out at the White House. So in all likelihood Obama knew about and had given his blessing to Brennan’s dirt-digging.

The FBI’s liaison to Brennan was Peter Strzok, whose hatred for Trump equaled Brennan’s. But even Strzok knew that Brennan was blowing smoke about Trump-Russian collusion. Strzok would later tell his mistress that he sensed the probe would prove a crock — that “there’s no big there there.”

What’s valuable about the Corn/Isikoff account is that it inadvertently provides a picture of Brennan running an anti-Trump spying operation right out of Langley. Even after the FBI probe formally began in July 2016, Brennan was bringing CIA agents, FBI officials, and NSA officials into the same room at CIA headquarters to pool their anti-Trump hunches. To give these outrageous meetings a patina of respectability, Brennan invoked the post-9/11 rationale of interagency cooperation. Corn and Isikoff, obviously supportive of Brennan’s operation, use absurdly sanitized language to describe these meetings, but the shocking political import of them is still unmistakable: ...

Are you serious? Strzok still has a job and neither McCabe nor Page has been charged with squat. Meanwhile Mueller is systematically financially devastating Trump’s supporters and associates. Trump’s affiliates and friends could only WISH they’d been ‘nailed,’ the same way Strzok, Page and McCabe have been ‘nailed.’

I'm sure he was relieved to find that the Attorney General who is presiding over all of this coming out is unbothered by it and refuses to take note of it.

Maybe the Russians made old Hill faint at the 9/11 ceremony leaving her one shoe behind on the curb.

Lol...I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!

"Brennan... refused to take his oath as CIA director on the Bible, regarding that practice as the disgusting relic of a once-Christian America.

Was that public knowledge at the time? Or 'classified' - - meaning it might 'embarrass' someone?
