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.

And after forever, he will have “Just made a mistake” or some such BS.
I have “high confidence” that I will see my 53rd birthday on Mary 13, 2021 and he will still be a free man.
No longer interested in “progress”.
We need to hear “sentenced to gaol for 30 years”.
Comrade John Brennan, who voted for Gus Hall for president of the United States ?
Can it be ?
Everyone knows the cornered rat lashing out the last few years is guilty as sin.
YYAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWN.
See my earlier posted images for which I got suspended for.
It took me a moment to remember the name Durham.
Barr, think I’ve heard of him too...does he play a sax?
Can it be ?
It has taken ALL THIS TIME just to get to this point? It is that old “empty feeling” time again....
tick tock is now flip flop
Lacked candor
Boom... lol
Hold that football for Charlie Brown again Lucy.
This is the number one guy I want to see swing.
“How could such a guy ever hold a responsible govt. position?”
One of two things must be true. Either he slipped through the cracks (even after admitting he was a communist) OR the CIA was happy to bring in a communist and they are an un-American formation.
But I would like to point out that really good investigators start with the lowest person on the totem pole and work their way up.
By the time they get to the real target of their . investigation, they know as much about the guy as he knows about himself.
They then ask him hundreds of questions, the correct answers to which they already know. The purpose of which is to catch him committing perjury.
Standard investigative tactics.
I am surprised so few on FB are aware of that.
That does not mean that they will be successful, but it is the right way to conduct an investigation.
I would love to see Brennan indicted. I would settle for him being driven from public life. No more appearances on CNN or MSNBC.
