HOW CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN TARGETED JAMES COMEY
Tablet ^ | 2/9/2018 | Lee Smith

Posted on 02/09/2018 12:14:24 PM PST by mojito

...Just as the dossier’s credibility began to wane—none of the allegations regarding Trump have been verified—a New York Times article from Dec. 30, 2017 corrected the record to show that the FBI’s inquiry into the Trump team’s possible ties to Russia in fact had nothing to do with the Steele dossier, or Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as the paper had been reporting for the past year. No, it began after a meeting between Papadopoulos and the Australian ambassador to the United Kingdom, Alexander Downer, in a London bar, back in May 2016. At that meeting, Papadopoulos, who, according to the Times, was in contact with Russian figures who were apparently connected to official Russian channels, told Downer that he had inside information the Russians were about to release thousands of emails damaging to Hillary Clinton. After the hacked DNC emails appeared in June and July, according to the Times, the Australians decided to pass on news of Papadopoulos’s boasts to their “American counterparts.”

Todd asked Brennan if the intelligence on Papadopoulos came “through the C.I.A. via the Five Eyes thing,” referring to the intelligence-sharing relationship between the five English-speaking powers, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Brennan’s response, though, went off-script.

He wasn’t “going to get into details about how it was acquired,” he explained. “But the F.B.I. has a very close relationship with its British counterparts. And so the F.B.I. had visibility into a number of things that were going on involving some individuals who may have had some affiliation with the Trump campaign.”

British counterparts?

Well, it certainly beats having a real job with a real boss who would know whether you were working or just hanging around bars. What a racket.

We will probably never see/know what Brennan was doing to dirty up Donald Trump. Obamamites had it in for Trump since the day Trump questioned, Obama’s eligibility to hold the office of president. Somebody created a birth certificate.. It did not nor does it matter where Obama was born ... his claimed daddy was never a US citizen.

I'm sure Trump annoyed them because he got enough coverage about it that they felt compelled to answer something they'd mostly made fun of before.

"Somebody created a birth certificate."

The state of Hawaii did.

"...his claimed daddy was never a US citizen."

Which doesn't matter.

Yes it does, people born from foreign national parents are born with divided loyalties, allegiances and nationality, precisely what the founders were excluding with the natural born citizen requirement.
Natural born citizens are naturally Americans because they cannot possibly be anything else, born here of citizen parents, naturally they could be no other.
And someone born with multiple nationalities is not naturally an American because they could be something else.

Thank you for standing for the Constitution.

Brennan would never have been appointed by a patriot President.
Only a fellow muslim would appoint a muslim to head our CIA.
Islam has been at war with the USA since our founding.
Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity since 622 A.D. and is not going to stop until everyone submits or dies.
Mad Mo made it so.

While they created the form, they did not create the birth certificate for Barack Obama.

Which doesn't matter.

Read your Constitution. He is not a natural born citizen as the Constitution demands. BTW, same holds true for Ted Cruz, & Marco Rubio. There was also problems with Obama's mother's U.S. citizenship at the time of his birth as well. Don't remember the exact situation, but it had to do with her age coupled with her length of time away from the country living in a foreign land.

Before Brennan became CIA Director, one of his employees that “fixed” Obama’s immigration file was found dead in his car in DC.
McCain’s and Hillary’s files were tampered with to try to cover their tracks.
Michael Hastings was working on a book about Brennan when his car exploded on the way to the airport to “disappear for a while.”
He had asked to borrow the neighbors old Oldsmobile.

Yes, all the above is true but if it wasn’t he would still be ineligible since he never reapplied for citizenship after renouncing it to be an Indonesian citizen as a child. The best he could have hoped for was dual citizenship which would have disqualified him to be POTUS.

Obama was never eligible, it should be proven and all his signatures erased from all US political/government documents.

Yes, they did.

"Read your Constitution. He is not a natural born citizen as the Constitution demands."

I have. It doesn't say what you claim. The parents aren't mentioned at all, and for someone born in the US are not relevant to whether they are a natural born citizen.

The original intent, of our founding fathers, to hold the office of president, required the person be a ‘natural born’ US citizen. Only two US citizen parents, birthing their child on US soil can give that standing.

We the people are government, and Congress nor a court can NOT give or take ‘natural born’ US citizenship. Only liberalized brains believe otherwise.

as the dossier’s credibility began to wane

My head just exploded. What does this phrase connote? It was transparently fraudulent slander at the outset. What credibility and how did that "wane"?
