From the article:

______

A few key points to remember against the backdrop of: “whether the FBI held a political motive in the counterintelligence investigation.”

First, both DOJ Deputy (National Security Division) Bruce Ohr, and FBI Agent Peter Strzok are still under the employ of the DOJ and FBI respectively.

Each of these outlined people, Bruce and Peter, would have direct first-hand knowledge as to the answer of the motivations behind the FBI counterintelligence operation; and the use of the FISA court to seek surveillance authority therein.

This is key to understanding the forward aspects of an internal criminal investigation, against the backdrop that the original intent of the IG review (Clinton email investigation) is complete. Bruce Ohr and Peter Strzok were removed at least seven months ago from any official DOJ and FBI duty. Yet, against the backdrop of INSD and IG investigations they both remain in employment limbo. That doesn’t happen accidentally.

There is a purposeful reasoning for retention of two clearly outlined figures central to the OIG and INSD review. Both Ohr and Strzok are entwined in the larger -likely corrupt- intelligence aspects of “Crossfire Hurricane”. What I mean to say is they have specific knowledge valuable to IG Horowitz, the FBI Inspection Division, and any ongoing criminal investigation of U.S. Attorney John Huber.

Brennan might want to rethink that reference....

Cicero's Prognosis -- by -- THE HONORABLE MILLARD F. CALDWELL Justice - Supreme Court Tallahassee, Florida Presented at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Inc. October 7-9, 1965, Columbus, Ohio Reprinted March, 1996

To me, the reference to the Republican Party is the key.

Brennen doesn’t give a Rat’s A$$ about the Republican Party.

He would hope that party would fail!

So why is he hitting the top mice in the party with that?

It can only be a threat!

“Brennan is caught in a perjury trap”

No one has to set a trap for Brennan to lie.

So true. The first words he ever said as little ugly baby were most likely a lie.

"My only question is, are these posts just a bunch of cynical attempts to twist these ancient writings for political ends, or do Brennan and Comey actually believe their own crap?"

His minions that carried out his dirty work like Halper should fear for their safety.

Brennan is another 10kw proggie projector. The hubris and sanctimony in that muzzie traitor is breathtaking. I would really like to see that man hang. Tagline.

From the article:

Young Cicero's first client was a substantial man of business - a man of integrity who trusted his government and his fellow man. But he was a rich man and, because powerful men of government coveted his wealth, he was the victim of bureaucratic chicanery. Young Cicero, retained to plead his cause, submitted documentary proof of his client's innocence to the Judges, confident that justice would prevail.

But for some reason, his case was not going well. He consulted with his great friend and mentor, Scaevola, telling him what course he had followed, and asked why he had failed. Scaevola was disgusted - he slammed the table and, leaning toward Cicero, shouted, "Imbecile! Of what use are records presented to tribunes, consuls, or senators if the government is determined to rob and destroy a man who had displeased them, or who possesses what they want? Have I truly wasted all these years on such an idiot as this Marcus Tullius Cicero!"

The downside here is that this expanded investigation may result in more evidence being withheld from Congress for a longer period of time.

There’s a reason publik skrewl students no longer get a Classical education, eh? Those who don’t know history are condemned to keep repeating it.

What Brennan said: "If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. You do a great disservice to our Nation & the Republican Party if you continue to enable Mr. Trump’s self-serving actions."

What Brennan really means: 'Don't help Trump to take away this incredible situation we've had. We have controlled everything, ensured that our own people held power, made good money under the table - with expectations for more after leaving public office, and we were able to prevent entry of the riffraff underclasses who were not educated at our alma maters. We have been the elites of society - and now you are throwing that all away. What will happen to the nation if it isn't run by Harvard and Yale graduates? What will happen if we let the masses have too much input? They need us to guide them, engineer society, and to make a bright future based on our personal vision. We are the special people. How dare you let an outsider take that from us?'

Or they could become a cooperating witness, enjoy their seventy-fourth birthday in Marbella and write another book with Jonathan Clarke...a spy thriller novel...

Brennan just issued indirect threats to Ryan and McConnell. I am positive Brennan has dirt on both of them. Brennan just said: “Either help me stop Trump and cover up our crimes, or I will spill the dirt on both of you.”

Try to see through the clouds now and then, but what you say can certainly be true at times.

Well, I hear you but trust Sessions and the DOJ right now about as much as I trust Hillary Clinton. Mueller is still operating with nothing else happening in this arena yet except smoke, mirrors, stonewalling and obfuscation. Brennen, Clapper, et. al. are still running free. There's no IG report and still no one investigating the investigators. Color me cynical.
