The federal prosecutor investigating the origins of the Russia inquiry is examining testimony by the former C.I.A. director John Brennan and seeking his communications records.
The federal prosecutor scrutinizing the Russia investigation has begun examining the role of the former C.I.A. director John O. Brennan in how the intelligence community assessed Russias 2016 election interference, according to three people briefed on the inquiry.
John H. Durham, the United States attorney leading the investigation, has requested Mr. Brennans emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A., according to a person briefed on his inquiry. He wants to learn what Mr. Brennan told other officials, including the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, about his and the C.I.A.s views of a notorious dossier of assertions about Russia and Trump associates.
Mr. Durhams pursuit of Mr. Brennans records is certain to add to accusations that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies. The president has long attacked Mr. Brennan as part of his narrative about a so-called deep state cabal of Obama administration officials who tried to sabotage his campaign, and Mr. Trump has held out Mr. Durhams investigation as a potential avenue for proving those claims.
Mr. Durham is also examining whether Mr. Brennan privately contradicted his public comments, including May 2017 testimony to Congress, about both the dossier and about any debate among the intelligence agencies over their conclusions on Russias interference, the people said.

The average American has no idea how alarming is the news that former Obama CIA Director John Brennan reportedly created and staffed a CIA Task Force in early 2016 that was named, Trump Task Force, and given the mission of spying on and carrying out covert actions against the campaign of candidate Donald Trump.
This was not a simple gathering of a small number of disgruntled Democrats working at the CIA who got together like a book club to grouse and complain about the brash real estate guy from New York.
It was a specially designed covert action to try to destroy Donald Trump.
A Task Force is a special bureaucratic creation that provides a vehicle for bring case officers and analysts together, along with admin support, for a limited term project. But it also can be expanded to include personnel from other agencies, such as the FBI, DIA and NSA. Task Forces have been used since the inception of the CIA in 1947.
Heres a recently declassified memo outlining the considerations in the creation of a task force in 1958. The author, L.K. White, talks about the need for a coordinating Headquarters element and an Operational unit in the field, i.e. deployed around the world.
A Task Force operates independent of the CIA Mission Centers (thats the jargon for the current CIA organization chart).
So what did John Brennan do?
I am told by an knowledgeable source that Brennan created a Trump Task Force in early 2016. It was an invitation only Task Force. Specific case officers (i.e., men and women who recruit and handle spies overseas), analysts and admin personnel were recruited. Not everyone invited accepted the offer. But many did.

THIS JUST IN-—FR POSTED:
During the 2016 Democrat convention, Harry Reid revealed that he (cough)
“suggested” the Deep State LIE to Trump by giving him fake briefings. (Brennan dutifully obeyed Harry’s order.)
Another indication the Democraps thought Hillary was a shoo-in and would sweep all the criminal acts under the Oval Office carpet.
I mean......jeepers, what could possible go wrong?
Looking forward to Reid’s name appearing prominently in the forthcoming Durham report.
Sounds like a sanitary screw.
Clapper, Comey and Brennan all deserve jail time...but I personally favor hanging
They were the ringleaders, along with Rosenstein, who somehow seems to get a pass from everyone for this attempted coup
But none of them will ever be held accountable.
And that is a self inflicted injury the US wont survive. Trump is The Last President.
