In March, at the Council on Foreign Relations, CIA Director John Brennan was asked by NBC’s Andrea Mitchell whether the CIA had illegally accessed Senate Intelligence Committee staff computers “to thwart an investigation by the committee into” the agency’s past interrogation techniques. The accusation had been made earlier that day by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who said the CIA had “violated the separation-of-powers principles embodied in the United States Constitution
--SNIP-- An apology and an internal review board might suffice if this were Brennan or intelligence leaders’ first offense, but the track record is far from spotless. In 2011, Brennan claimed that dozens of U.S. drone strikes on overseas targets had not killed a single civilian. This remarkable success rate was not only disputed at the time by news reports — even supporters of the drone program called it “absurd” — but as the Bureau of Investigative Journalism and the New York Times both reported later, President Obama received reports from the very beginning of his presidency about drone strikes killing numerous civilians. As Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser at the time, Brennan would have received these reports as well, so either Brennan knew that his claim was a lie,

Fusion GPS, Hillary’s campaign, the DNC, CIA’s Brennan, and Obama officials—were all focused on destroying Donald Trump.
The FBI got involved using very suspect methodologies. One crucial question is how early this all happened?.........
ITEM——Hillary Clinton ran in the 2008 and 2016 democratic primaries——and in the 2016 general election.
ITEM——S/C Mueller “uncovered” that the “Russian collusion scheme” apparently “materialized sometime in 2014.
Now, here’s the $64,000 question not addressed....Why didn’t the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?
Were Obama’s PDB’s falsified? Probably-—Brennan knew the Halfrican was too stupid to catch on.
Brennan got outed as calculatedly working the phony “pee dossier” into Obama’s PDB.
Dates are important b/c Snowden’s’ revelations indicate government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on Americans in 2001.
The Obama police state had a lot of help-—our govt mastered the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.
This we know:
<><> (A) traffic travels through FBI computers, and,
<><> (B) the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.
Again. Why didn’t the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?
Remember the doctored ISIS intel - Brennan was all over that, and was denounced by 50 career intel professionals.
Article was from 2014, not 2004.

Very interesting. I can only hope Maddow and the rest of them are finding out the truth and want to report it. Brennan is one scary man.
The CIA also spied on Jewish members of Congress so they could in turn accuse them of being loyal to Israel instead of the US during Obama’s disasterous Iran Deal lead-up.
And lets not forget all the innocent people killed by drone strikes when the criteria for targeting slipped from being based in credible intelligence to simply targeting people because they appeared to be acting suspiciously. Like being a shepherd on a hillside, or being out on the street early in the mornings.

From 2014. Di-Fi's chaffeur had the idea. Thanks Kid Shelleen.
Washington Post? The Post learned years ago that you don’t need to pay salaries of investigative reporters if you have disgruntled ‘intelligence’ thugs willing to hand you stuff for their political revenge.
Stenographers named Woodward and Berstein taught them that little trick...
