Obama appointee and former CIA director John Brennan is the target of a perjury investigation by the House Intelligence Committee.
Chairman Devin Nunes is turning his attention to the role the CIA played in promoting the Steele dossier.
Brennan said under oath that he didn't know who commissioned the dossier and that it was not used to conclude that Russia had meddled in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Brennan also swore that he did not know who commissioned the anti-Trump research document, even though senior national security and counterintelligence officials at the Justice Department and FBI knew the previous year that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Last week, Nunes released a declassified memo exposing surveillance "abuses" by the Obama DOJ and FBI in investigating Trump's ties to Russia. It said the agencies relied heavily on the uncorroborated dossier to take out a warrant to secretly surveil a Trump adviser in the heat of the 2016 presidential election, even though they were aware the underlying "intelligence" supporting the wiretap order was political opposition research funded by Clinton allies – a material fact they concealed from FISA court judges in four separate applications.
Nunes plans to soon release a separate report detailing the Obama State Department's role in creating and disseminating the dossier. Among other things, the report will identify Obama-appointed diplomats who worked with partisan operatives close to Hillary Clinton to help ex-British spy Christopher Steele compile the dossier, sources say.
An aide, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said Nunes will focus on Brennan as well as President Obama's first CIA director, Leon Panetta, along with the former president's intelligence czar, James Clapper, and national security adviser, Susan Rice, and security adviser-turned U.N. ambassador Samantha Power, among other intelligence officials.

But isn’t Brennan a convert to Islam? taqqyia (sp) anyone?
I think it takes a real idiot to think an attorney general would conduct investigations in the open.
I think it would take a real idiot to accept the AG positikn and immediately recuse himself from anything Hillary.
Without consulting his new boss.
He desperately needs to go. And it’s going to happen. The tide is turning.
Why not let Congress and the IG do the heavy lifting?
It is more public and, as a consequence, gets public opinion in Trump’s favor.
If Trump needs to fire high level people (Sessions, Rosenstein, and/or Mueller), why not have all the facts out there before he does?
Congress can and has referred people for criminal investigation. (Steele, for example). By the time they do, there will be very little, if anything, to investigate and it will be time to prosecute.
Just wait. Everyone dissing A.G. Sessions is going to be surprised. General Flynn too.
He’s Muslim, so it’s okay to lie to Infidels................

Yep, they use Taqiyya as often as possible.
Just found out ‘DuckDuck Go” is going the way of Google and is not labeling sites as “Far Right”. Test it for yourself and spread the word.
He is a mythical moslem.
We have people here saying that there are thousands of sealed indictments and many arrests made. If that is true or even 1/100th true, Jeff is Superman.
Another of the clueless heard from. You clowns are a real nuisance to those who can actually think.
It is amazing to me that so many here have fallen into the Divide and Conquer trap. Do seriously believe that the Goebbelsmedia is going to tell what is going on at DoJ?
Let the swamp be drained.
Nothing will happen to him.
“The coverup is worse than the crime!” as Democrats like to say.”
Should that be true? Should covering up a crime be worse than the underlying crime?
“We have people here saying that there are thousands of sealed indictments and many arrests made.”
People say lots of things. Why are you so determined to defend Sessions?

either way, he refuses or can't do the job - therefore, he should be let go.
The country needs an ACTING AG...Whether he's intimidated by all those big tough FBI guys that hulk over him, being held in place with blackmail or is a stealth Swamp Critter acting as GaTe Keeper for the Deep State - he has to go...
Session’s lack of action could be the end of our Free Republica. He is to be despised.
