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.

“Barak 0zero was happy to bring in a communist and they are he is an un-American formation.”

Nope...Brennan was happily accepted into the CIA in 1980. And his career steadily advanced, despite him being a communist. My observation stands.

Either the CIA is so inept that they didn’t even catch him when he admitted he as a communist, OR the CIA was always ok with communists in their club because they have always been an enemy of our constitutional republic.

True. I was thinking more of his appointment as Director. As you say, the whole scenario is an enigma... and now the damage is just beginning to be exposed.

Brennan was the point man on the coup. All roads lead to him. I don’t know if he’s going to ever pay the price, but he’s the key to this whole sorry episode in trying to frame Trump.

I have no idea, but it is very interesting that this shows up just as you ask an interesting question.

It could be a coincidence...if you believe in coincidences.

We sure are having a lot of them now days. Just a coincidence.....?

If by joke you mean controlled deep state asset, think back to GW Bush and before.

When taking control of a country, the first thing you need is it's intelligence agencies.

When I see Brennan frog marched into federal detention wearing an orange jumpsuit, I’ll believe it then.

Meanwhile one hopes he likes to canoe on the Potomoc.

"Wake up calls will not be forthcoming when the SHTF."

The only wake up call will be by Patriots as they water the Tree of Liberty.

Barr and Durham et al continue the puppet show while the Demoncrats snicker.
Very few of us are impressed by this show.

What is happening is happening whether you're impressed or not.

Very few of us are impressed that you're not impressed.

And nobody cares.
