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.

The source article they cite does not say that Brennan is under investigation. It cites a lot of evidence for why he should be under investigation, and it also reports that Nunes will be investigating the intelligence agencies. But saying someone is “under investigation” is a very particular claim. For all we know (and hope) it’s a true claim, but it’s not a claim made in the only article they cite as a source for this article. Unless they know something that is not in their article, they should fix the headline and the first line of the article ASAP before they face legal peril.
I have the impression Brennan and Clapperr ran the operation.
Comey,McCabe and Mueller were just underlings.
and Brennan leads directly to McCain.
Watch for Linda to try and block this from going forward
When he gets convicted for perjury, when Peter Stzrok and his FBI mistress face a court, and when Hillary, Podesta, Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin and a few others have their day in court-—then I will believe it. Meanwhile, I am still from Missouri......
He needs to be tried for treason. He will fully acted against the Constituion.
He should be exiled or even face the guilotine.
Brennan has found safe haven at NBC, that special wing of the Deep State. Seems many of the Coup conspirators are now hiding there.
I keep wondering how all these people can lie, lie, lie...yet it seems nothing happens. Glad something is happening, hope it goes somewhere.
ping
he was getting so bold by going on NBC, I think they knee they had to slap him down.
How long is the President going to let this side show tear this country apart?? There is ample evidence publicly known to Arrest, Prosecute and Imprison the whole gang already. I do find it entertaining, don’t get me wrong, but sooner or later you will need to slap Sessions across the head to wake him up and actually do his Job!
Brennan is Islamic filth.
Brennan and Clapper should share a cell together.
i read Brennan uses to go in a bunker daily and would ask “who should I kill today?” (via droning)
CLAPPER will be next. He isn’t even remotely convincing, or crafty, with his musings.
Brennan, Leon Panetta, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and Samantha Power is a good start.
Fried Muzzie with a sprinkle of Commie on top.
Brennan is a liar.
Is he a Muslim? I heard a rumor.
With... Either Carlos Danger ( Weiner ) or Hillary or both.
"Why aren't I 50 points ahead you might ask" & "“If that f – – – ing bastard wins, we all hang from nooses!"
They would loose their minds with her, especially with the heat in GITMO..
Second THAT.
Jeff has totally abdicated. He reminds me of Pope Benedict XVI, leaving the place turned over to the enemy wrecking machine, in both cases.
Brennan was the kingpin, the rest were underlings.
