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.

His Muslim religion says it’s fine to lie to infidels, and as a member of Obama’s cabinet, he certainly considered Republicans “infidels.”

Keep looking at the trees of Fisagate, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, etc, etc, etc, and you’ll miss the forest of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
The entirety of the Kenyanesian Usurpation is worse than every previous so-called scandal combined.
Clapper is deteriorating mentally each day/week.
He will be lucky to handle complete sentences in a year.
McCabe clearly stated there was no FISA warrant without the dossier...a dossier they knew from the beginning was fake.
>>Jeff has totally abdicated.
That’s what I thought for a long time. I’m less sure now.
If you’re the DA and someone carjacks you, you don’t get to handle the prosecution yourself.
Sessions was illegally spied upon. IOW, he’s a victim.
He can’t oversee a case or cases where he is a victim.
Can’t be prosecutor and victim on the same case.
I wonder now, if that factors in, or if he just weakly caved in like a baby. I’m not 100% sure anymore.
I’d list my wish list but we’d be here for awhile....
He SHOULD be investigated for being a Muslim terrorist!!
A dairy farmer ?
