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 coverup is worse than the crime!” as Democrats like to say. Also Brennan “colluded” with others to lie to Congress.
If Sleepy Jeff Sessions would wake up the prosecutions would be a slam dunk.
Yes, Yes .... Goot one
I like dis juan
Yes, one can’t be a real DemonRat without being able to lie 24/7.
Recall that Hitlery Rotten Clinton denied recalling names when she was questioned about Benghazi and her server by Gowdy.
When he would spring a name on her in context with the question she just answered, her lying mouth would suddenly provide all sorts of detail.
No one gets prosecuted for perjury.
That’s what Rats said in the 1990s.
Burn his muzzie ass.
You’re right.
It’s definitely not a proper presidential portrait.

This makes me smileyface. Is it wrong???

Whee do you imprison an ex CIA director? What Undisclosed Location would be appropriate
Well, it is a start.
I’d rather see the muslim convert and communist Brennan investigated and tried for treason
Id love to see this POS in prison stripes
The bottom of the Atlantic.
Thank God!!!! Brennan just oooozes evil. Communist!
Ah yes, the Islamic privilege to a perjury charge - my religion requires me to lie, well it's not a lie when I say it because my faith says its not a lie.
Great line!!
