Former CIA director Brennan under investigation for perjury
americanthinker ^ | February 12, 2018 | Rick Moran

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.

You didn't mention Obastard, so obviously you know he's untouchable, with the half black privilege.

Looks like he's already in the weeds...

It seems to be. Even now Obama appears to be running a parallel government, and flying to other nations undermining Trump. Can one say Logan Act?

Then, throw in the constant muggy 99% humidity to make it a perfect hell hole.”

Put Hillary in a cell right in the middle of them. She should given a bullhorn so they all hear what she has to say.

First thing that came to my mind reading that article is that Bill Priestap talked.

Edit to add: 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.

He has a habit of lying to congress. I believe last time it was about spying on Senate staffers. He must be a one trick pony.

That arrogant scum couldn’t tell the truth about anything if his life depended on it. He is beyond snake-in-the-grass.

Trump had tp be defeated; if not defeated, ruined. 1. HRC wanted to spy on the Trump organization; needed a FISA warrant to do so;...with no evidence of wrongdoing by Trump...The FBI chose Carter Page (who had worked with them before)...to be used as a bank shot to get Trump....FBI said Page was a Russian agent; FBI knew that wasn't true...In order to get the warrant the FBI included in the FISA application the Trump dossier (salacious and unverifiable) which came from Christopher Steele, the British spy who, the FBI said was "reliable". Hillary & DNC hired Fusion GPS who hired Steele. Understand that both HR Clinton and FBI had their reasons for not wanting Donald Trump anywhere near the White House.

Hillary's SD's (Johathan Winer)...given trash on Trump by Sidney Blumenthal and (Cody Shearer)...the rest as they say, is history, convoluted history...Articles by Rush and Kimbery Strassel both seem to think the FBI was blind-sided or knew nothing about this....IMHO, I think they are both wrong. The FBI knew everything....Trump will in the end, drain this disgusting swamp of treasonous, vile, malicious elected and appointed filth.

PART OF THE SWAMP

That looks like cut and paste. Everything looks flat, no dimension. And many of the leaves seem to have a repeat pattern, like wallpaper.

I never, EVER envisioned the strength of some in the GOP to push this hard to discover the FACTS.

It’s pretty tough for those of us out here in actual America to grasp what it’s like to go up against the swamp. This is a large, webbed and deeply entrenched system. It’s run everything for decades and does not look kindly on citizens. We are witnessing a remarkable, but still relatively small group of people in Congress, the DoJ, the bureau and likely in the CIA and NSA stepping into the muck and mire to save our nation.

I pray for their continued strength, courage and clarity.

If accurate, Sessions should resign. Anything is possible, but he is killing us, by doing nothing and doing it so late... a year later he has served up nothing that has proven helpful to the president. Comatose.

Where is Sessions? Where is Wray?

Does Nunes and his committee always have to do the heavy lifting.

The hands are not in proportion.

The distance between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip is too long.

The forehead is too square.

The real Obama’s forehead gets smaller widthwise as it goes upward from the eyebrows.

The lips are not purple.

It looks like the investigation has produced results.

Wqiting for the grand jury indictment, a quick trial, conviction and sentencing.

Someone wake up AG Keebler Elf!!
