House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is planning to investigate whether one-time CIA Director John Brennan played a role in promoting the controversial and unverified dossier on Donald Trump, RealClear Investigations is reporting.
Word of the congressman's new probe comes after the release of a Nunes' memo alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI.
Brennan, in an interview on NBC News' "Meet The Press," lashed out at Nunes, saying he "abused the office of chairmanship" with the memo.
According to RealClear Investigations, Nunes will soon release a separate report detailing the role of the State Department under President Barack Obama in creating and disseminating the controversial dossier.
The website claimed the report will identify diplomats who worked with those close to Hillary Clinton to help ex-British spy Christopher Steele put together the disputed dossier.
"Those are the first two phases" of Nunes' multipart inquiry, a senior investigator said. "In Phase 3, the involvement of the intelligence community will come into sharper focus."
The unidentified aide said Nunes will focus on Brennan, former CIA Director Leon Panetta, Obama's intelligence chief, James Clapper and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among other intelligence officials.
"John Brennan did more than anyone to promulgate the dirty dossier," the investigator said. "He politicized and effectively weaponized what was false intelligence against Trump."

Good!
I just hope somebody goes to prison in my lifetime.
Everything has always pointed to these “liars”. It’s what they did best. Solution...they said “Sorry”...I made a mistake. What they did were crimes...
Good
None of these folks will ever go to prison....but at least there will be a record of their attempt to politically assassinate a President.
Hope Newt writes a thorough book on this. He's a great writer.
Good but as we have seen so far things Nunes finds out seem to go nowhere. Nothing would please me more then to see that Treasons punk Brennan get his. As long as do nothing Sessions is the real gatekeeper it would seem none of these bastards are going to be held accountable.
Not just Hillary. If Jeb! or Rafael Cruz or Amnesty Rubio would have won it still wouldn’t have seen the light of day.
Kick a$$ and take names!
Yes, this is getting good.
Is the CIA now going to go after Nunes?
And if they do will he cut them off at the knees?
Why just drain the FBI when you can drain ALL of the alphabet agencies?
Maybe someone can investigate why Rosenstein is still in charge of the Justice Department after knowingly and willfully perjuring himself by signing a fraudulent FISA warrant.
Yeb!, the Cubanadian or Foam Boy would not have won.
Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser just like McCain and Romney played those roles in 2008 and 2012.
The ineligibles were just there to validate the legitimacy of the Kenyanesian Usurpation. And to ensure no one questions George P. Bush when he runs.
Trump is the only reason we still have a fighting chance to keep our country.
Michael Hastings thought he was going to expose Brennan and the CIA........
ping
Finally
Yeah, I’m not optimistic.
Lyin’ Piñata will be fun.
Brennan is an especially nasty piece of work - I have no doubt he’s been up to his eyeballs in subverting Trump’s candidacy & presidency. Very glad Nunes is pursuing this - I believe he’ll find plenty to be concerned about & likely criminality as well.
In way over his head. His only qualification was that he would kiss Obama's ars.
