Print this article Former CIA Director John Brennan appears to have dodged prosecution in U.S. Attorney John Durham's criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation.
After NBC News reported Thursday that Brennan agreed to do an interview with Durham, signaling that his investigation is nearing its end, a lawyer familiar with the situation told NPR that the Obama-era CIA director has been told he is not a target of prosecutors. Instead, this source said, the interview will mainly consist of technical questions.
The news is sure to disappoint some of President Trump's most ardent supporters who believe Brennan and other top officials in the Obama administration sought to sabotage Trump's candidacy in 2016 and later his presidency.
Still, while Brennan may escape an indictment, he may yet be harshly criticized in a report. Attorney General William Barr said he expects "developments" from Durham's inquiry by the end of the summer.
Its hard to prove criminal intent at their level, and unless theres a smoking gun, like an email or text, theyll probably get off with a damning report about their activities," former Assistant FBI Director Chris Swecker, who claims to know Durham personally, told RealClearInvestigations in reference to Brennan and other top intelligence community and law enforcement officials from the Obama administration.
Durham has reportedly scrutinized Brennan's emails, call logs, and other records from the CIA as his team looked into the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian election interference, whether there was an effort to hide information from other agencies, British ex-spy Christopher Steeles flawed anti-Trump dossier, and other issues.
Democrats, some Justice Department veterans, and legal experts have raised concerns about the public release of Durham's findings or indictments less than 90 days from the election. Under questioning last week by Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a Florida Democrat, Barr refused to commit under oath to not releasing a report before the November contest and pledged it would not "disrupt" the election.
Timing is also a mounting concern for the president's allies who fear the federal prosecutor's work will get buried should former Vice President Joe Biden defeat Trump.
Brennan, who has traded barbs with Trump over the past couple years, found out he had been blocked from accessing his classified notes and records while working on his forthcoming memoir.
Here comes the whitewash. No surprise, since the GOP are a bunch of cowards.
The GOP are not cowards. They are co-conspirators who gave criminal Democrats 3 years to destroy evidence and concoct CYA stories.
If, and I emphasize IF, this is true, the hell with all of this and every single solitary sewer rat who is elected or serves in DC. Period.
Leak from Brennan?

Don’t believe it. So far there have been no leaks from Durham’s investigation. NBC and NPR are fake news. If Brennan gets off, the whole investigation is a sham.
Dont believe anything about this until you hear it from Barr or Durham.
The proof is in the pudding. 3 /2 years and nothing from the “Trump” DOJ regarding the criminal Obama admin. 3 1/2 year and nothing from the GOP controlled Senate, too. Contrast that to the Mueller Coup and impeachment hoax. Where there is a will, there is a way...
Comey on the other hand.
Boy, thatll leave a mark...
If this is true, what a sham this is.
Nobody of any repute is going to be indicted or jailed. It’s a dream that will never happen. Outing these people to public scorn is the worst they will get.
So we hear nothing about what is going on with the Durham investigation, all this time, but somehow we hear this? While I doubt anything will actually happen, this leak seems a tad bit self serving.
If you do not know, the left is trying to demoralize us. They love to plant these stories to divide us.
I believe none of it.
What’s “demoralizing” is criminal Democrats free as birds for years while supporters of POTUS are assaulted and thrown into solitary.
This situation can only have happen due to bipartisan support of the Mueller Coup. Maximum pressure must be applied to the GOP to get any support of POTUS. The GOP knew in 2017 the FBI was lying about Fisagate. What did they do? NOTHING. Given the history of the past 3 1/2 years “Trusting Durham” is a fools errand. Sorry.
Those who are prosecuted will receive strongly worded letters.
We know absolutely nothing about what has happened or what will happen with this investigation. We just have to wait and we dont like that. The fact there are very few leaks, IMHO, bodes well. As far as prognosticators on FR...who thought NY AGs big announcement this week was going to be a dud about the NRA?
First they deplatform Q, then Q followers
Then they enforce their cancel culture on conservatives.
Now, to avoid the “Streisand Effect” (I did not know she had a house in Malibu — let me look it up), they try and dicourage us and make the Obamagate investigation look like it failed.
Before Durham files any charges.
PsyOps. Durham cannot fire back and we feel betrayed.
So, we stop reaching out to our Twitter and Facebook groups where we gather to discuss the criminal DS and we abandon alternatives like Q and BDAnon and Gab and Parler.
Observe their “Plan”.
My bet is that the DOJ files charges 61 days before the election against the DS Traitors.
Then, if Trump wins, they are prosecuted after the election with trial dates in 2021-2022.
If Trump loses, they all get the charges dropped and there will be nothing we can do about it, since the precedent will have been set with Flynn (which is a set up to create this precedent).
Well see. It aint over till the fat lady sings.
From The Washington Examiner? Still, not sure of accuracy...
Hell, personally I and many others here have been thinking the same thing...if these criminals stick together and just pull the Hillary prevarication routine under oath, no DC grand jury will indict any of these traitors...
But, take a look at the author’s log of recent stories...I think he leans toward the sensational...
This story had to have come from the Brennan Team...and, Brennan knows his psyops...this nugget comes out essentials the day after the story about his interview with Durham...I’m leaning toward psyops here!
Best not to get too high or too low with any of theses stories...
Until someone gets indicted, I will remain hopeful, but also realistic!
They are Democrat Communists. Of course they will all skate.

NBC - Nothing But Crap. If anyone reads about Durham’s history, habits, methodology, and his cases, he leaks NOTHING to ANYONE. He does no updates, no reports, no leaks.
The article is bulls***.
Excellent analysis.
The article is crap not worth reading or posting. It was obviously posted, and written, to demoralize people who are gullible.
Brilliant. You want Barr to do this illegal like the Obama admin did. And I thought our goal was to restore the rule of law. You’re no better than the radical leftists that have destroyed the very concept of rule of law.
