A spokesperson for former CIA Director John Brennan said Friday that federal prosecutor John Durham told the former intelligence chief in their interview that he is not the subject or target of a criminal probe.
Earlier today former CIA Director John Brennan was interviewed by U.S. Attorney John Durham on issues related to Russias interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, spokesperson and former CIA Deputy Chief of Staff Nick Shapiro said in a statement. Brennan was informed by Mr. Durham that he is not a subject or a target of a criminal investigation and that he is only a witness to events that are under review.
Shapiro also said that Brennan was interviewed for 8 hours, during which time the discussion covered a wide range of intelligence-related activities undertaken by CIA before the November 2016 presidential election as well as the Intelligence Community Assessment published in early January 2017.
Brennan led the CIA under the Obama administration as it and other intelligence agencies arrived at the conclusion that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election. According to an Intelligence Community Assessment cited by former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in Senate testimony, Russia used cyber operations against both political parties and that President Putin directed and influenced [a] campaign to erode the faith and confidence of the American people in our presidential election process. Second, that he did so to demean Secretary Clinton, and third, that he sought to advantage Mr. Trump. Russias meddling did not extend to actual vote tallying and no intelligence or evidence was found to suggest that any votes were changed as a result of the interference.

Brennan’s spokesman claims he’s not a target. Durham has said nothing.
Nope. If he is told, its only a courtesy. But not something hed be entitled to.
I believe Flynn was told the same. Very old DoJ/FBI technique.
i don’t think you’re a target - until you are a target. not sure they tell the truth on this since Comey told POTUS he wasn’t a target when he clearly was their target. jibber jabber and super spin from Brennan who heads footsteps approaching.
I wouldn’t believe a Brennan spokesperson.
Didn’t Mueller tell Trump he wasn’t a target when he clearly was?
*hears* footsteps approaching. oops
The only one that has been a target in any of this is Trump. barr was brought in for clean-up and durham is his tool.
Even if Brennan IS a target, the pace of this investigation is glacially slow. Brennan may be in his 90’s before all has been completed.
where did the C_A letter of Brennan
disappear to, in order to forge the
FAKE FISA complaint made out of whole air
and HRC$$$$?
That's a clown comment, bro.
Nailed it.
They can lie to you.
We cant lie to them.
Leaks are real
News is fake
If I’m not mistaken, the FBI told Martha Stewart that she was not the target of a probe. Federal “agents” are allowed by law to lie. You, however, will go to prison if you lie to them.
Well, Trump was told he wasnt a target too, as he was being targeted and actually even set up.
The truth is Brennan, by virtue of his official position and the nature of the work of the CIA, he can’t catch a real charge without implicating President Obama as well. Some people really are above the law.
Didn’t Comey say that to President Trump?
Durham has no intention of moving this investigation forward before the election because he knows that it will be shut down if Biden wins and any recommendations he makes for criminal charges will not be pursued by a Dem administration. If Trump is reelected, however, then Durham may get serious about pursuing the investigation.
Without real jail time for their criminals, the FBI will be, in my mind, little more than a government crime syndicate.
And by extension ALL police, I am not alone.
Hope Barr understands that.
