The U.S. attorney from Connecticut assigned by Attorney General William Barr to look into the origins of the Obama-era “Spygate” probe is reportedly examining documents generated by a “fusion cell” of officials established by former CIA Director John Brennan.
John Durham, who specializes in official corruption cases, has been looking into the origins of the Spygate probe for several weeks now. In a tweet Wednesday, investigative reporter Paul Sperry noted, “According to Main DOJ sources, Durham’s portfolio for looking into the provenance of CH includes examining docs generated by an interagency ‘fusion cell’ Brennan set up in mid-2016 on Russian election interference + pre-election briefings Steele gave to UK intelligence”…

I met Jim Clapper when he was an Air Force three-star and Director of DIA and I’ve had encounters with him a number of times since. My initial impression of him from 1994 - when I was a Major - was that he was, by far, the dumbest flag officer I’ve ever met. I’ve seen nothing in the ensuing years to convince me I was wrong.
As for Brennan, I’ve known him since 2001. He’s a no-shit convert to Islam; a narcissist of the highest order; and a pedantic, condescending asshole with an incredibly inflated and entirely unjustified opinion of himself.
Brennan drips with arrogance. It is truly disturbing to know that someone so vain, ideological and egotistical was allowed to run the CIA.
Narcissists don’t take criticism very well. It will be interesting to watch him boil when the heat gets turned up.
Oh, it definitely will. He’s an evil bastard to the very core.
Not sure if many people know this, but he wasn’t even a case officer (AKA “Agent”); he was an analyst and the only analyst to be chosen as Chief of Station - in his case, Riyadh. But he was “just the right guy” to lead Obama’s CIA.
Case officers handle “agents”.
- “agents” are foreign nationals recruited to work for the case officer’s nation.
Uh, I know that, but most Americans unfamiliar with the Agency refer to case officers as agents, hence the quotation marks. Mention the term case officer to most people and they have no idea what the hell you mean.
I prefer to always use the correct terminology here.
Too many on this site watch too many “spy” movies & TV shows, listen to web crackpots and think they’re well informed about the IC. I don’t want to contribute to the current level of “noise’ here regarding the community.
