John Durham investigation intensifies focus on John Brennan
washington examiner ^ | 3/30/2020 | Jerry Dunleavy

Posted on 04/03/2020 6:43:48 PM PDT by bitt

U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the Russia investigation is putting increased scrutiny on former CIA Director John Brennan, searching for any undue influence he may have had during 2017’s intelligence community assessment of Russian interference.

Durham, selected by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead this inquiry, drove to Washington, D.C., in March to ensure the investigation stayed on track during the coronavirus outbreak. The top Connecticut federal prosecutor is looking into highly sensitive issues, including whether Brennan took politicized actions to pressure the rest of the intelligence community to match his conclusions about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s motivations, according to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal.

Officials said Durham has been interviewing CIA officials this year, zeroing in on those at the National Intelligence Council, a center within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence which oversaw the collaboration between the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency in putting together the 2017 assessment, and looking at how the work product was finalized.

The 2017 assessment concluded with "high confidence" that Putin “ordered an influence campaign in 2016” and Russia worked to “undermine public faith" in U.S. democracy, "denigrate" former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and "harm her electability and potential presidency,” and “developed a clear preference" for Trump. The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only “moderate confidence” that Putin actively tried to help Trump win and Clinton lose.

Hey Durham,
This is a great time to call people at their home number. They’re usually there, and often drinking.

Quiz time.

The walls closing in on Brennan and a Chinese bio-attack.

How are these two things related?

There will be prizes.

Occasionally (not always) the camera captures EVIL...the psychopath’s coldness...the no compassion face. When that slips by go to the WORDS (lies or antagonisms..”bitter clingers”...now that face didn’t slip by you I hope). When both slip by go to the DEEDS. Sometimes they all slip by and YOU’RE raped or dead. The face is sometimes more revealing than other times...Manson, Khomeini, etc., etc.

Barack & Michelle, Hillary & Bill, Soros, Cuomo, Strzok, BRENNAN, Pelosi, Jarrett, Feinstein, Omar, Haley Stevens, Schumer, Ted Bundy, an old acquaintance Rick, a current acquaintance Ron, Stalin, Hitler, Greta, etc., etc.

The most EVIL administration in the history of this great republic BY FAR.

Barack & Michelle Obama, Biden, Clinton, Holder, Lerner, Lynch, Brennan, Comey, Strzok, Paige, Jarrett. etc., etc. downstream including Jon Gruber, Zeke Emanuel, John Holdren, etc., etc.

” WE are 5 days away from fundamentally TRANSFORMING the United States of America”, “bitter clingers”, “CHARTER OF NEGATIVE LIBERTIES”, “deplorables” “we came, we saw, he died,” “if the prosecutor’s not fired, your not getting the billion dollars” etc., etc., etc., etc.

WE THE PEOPLE are still reeling from the effects of these CRIMINALS. OUR children are, too. Witness current events.

https://usdebtclock.org Examine the debt before and after that administration.

NONE ARE BEHIND BARS. No justice, no republic.

ZERO...adios republic. Nobody can recover from such CRIMINALITY.

Soon there will be no more Indians.

All we can do is try, which is what Trump, his Q team, and the patriots that support them are doing.

Hop on board.

Hey Bitt! Alert!

Senate has been notified.

President Trump has fired the intelligence community’s chief watchdog, Michael Atkinson

“This is to advise that I am exercising my power as President to remove from office the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, effective 30 days from today,” Trump wrote.
Trump said in the letter that he “no longer” has the fullest confidence in Atkinson. “As is the case with regard to other positions where I, as president, have the power of appointment, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, it is vital that I have the fullest confidence in the appointees serving as Inspectors General,” he wrote. “That is no longer the case with regard to this Inspector General.”

Trump added that he would be submitting a new nominee for the position to the Senate “at a later date.”

The most lethargic intensity ever witnessed by mankind.

There is no justice when it comes to the political ruling class. Just brokered exchanges of underlings with immunity and cause to grow budgets in staffing the brokerage doing the deals.
