Brennan, the Spooks, and Russian Collusion
American Thinker ^ | August 15, 2018 | Ishmael Jones

The FBI is being held accountable for its role in spy operations against the Trump campaign. John Brennan’s CIA should be held accountable as well.

An editorial by Holman Jenkins in the Wall Street Journal on June 29, 2018 recommends an investigation of the CIA’s involvement in the 2016 election, and I agree. The WSJ’s Kimberley Strassel has commented on CIA involvement as well, as did Rudy Giuliani on August 13th.

If press reports are accurate, American spy operations targeted the Trump campaign by luring Trump associates such as George Papadopoulos to meetings in Britain. There are two key factors at work here.

The first factor is the location. The CIA is in charge of American government spy ops that occur in foreign countries, not the FBI. While an American tourist can fly to Britain to see the changing of the guard and be in front of Buckingham Palace within 24 hours, an American FBI agent can do nothing in Britain without intricate CIA approvals and supervision. If the CIA were not involved, they’d be raising hell with the FBI for doing business on their turf. Turf is everything in bureaucracy. CIA involvement is certain.

The second factor -- I do not know the people named and am basing this on press reports -- is that these ops bear the distinctive signature of being run by bureaucrats at CIA Headquarters, not by professionals in CIA field stations.

CIA employees document their activity exhaustively in records that are sent to lots of other offices to keep everyone informed. These documents are cross-referenced, so if a deep stater tries to delete them, it will be obvious. A Horowitz-style investigation will find a treasure trove of information.

I have a different take on Mr Jone’s article. A look at the timeline has convinced me that the Russia, Russia, Russia malarkey was originally created to destroy Donald Trump, his family and Trump business empire to send a message to any future outsider who dared to enter the political arena uninvited. Look at all the info being revealed over the last 12+ months that We the People would have never known about if Killary were elected Prez.

With Killery as Prez, the MSM would be blasting every nite more half-truths and lies about Trump and his family. The weight of the Fed Gov’t legal machine (DOJ/FBI/IRS) and the Intel Community would be too much even for a multi-billionaire to withstand.

Pieces of the puzzel are starting to come together. Sounds like FBI is loaded with CIA.

Brennan was behind the whole operation.
He was Obama’s fixer even before Usurpation Day.
Fixed his passport records and made some people unavailable for comment.

Agreed!
This process is a Warning to any and all who consider taking on the Deep State. How far are we from a Powerful State like the Third World Countries where citizens exist with their heads down?
Obama’s Administration exposed the ‘Progressive’ agenda of ‘Rewarding your Friends, Punishing your Enemies’

I’m 66, and I believe that the FBI will STILL be trying to get their “Jimmy Stewart FBI image” back after I am gone!!!
