John Brennan, Obama's CIA director, admits egging on the FBI's probe of Trump and Russia
foxnews.com ^ | 7/19/18 | Kimberley Strassel

Posted on 07/20/2018 6:54:57 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

(snip) --- The CIA director couldn’t himself go public with his Clinton spin—he lacked the support of the intelligence community and had to be careful not to be seen interfering in U.S. politics. So what to do? He called Harry Reid. In a late August briefing, he told the Senate minority leader that Russia was trying to help Mr. Trump win the election, and that Trump advisers might be colluding with Russia. (Two years later, no public evidence has emerged to support such a claim.)

But the truth was irrelevant. On cue, within a few days of the briefing, Mr. Reid wrote a letter to Mr. Comey, which of course immediately became public. “The evidence of a direct connection between the Russian government and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign continues to mount,” wrote Mr. Reid, going on to float Team Clinton’s Russians-are-helping-Trump theory. Mr. Reid publicly divulged at least one of the allegations contained in the infamous Steele dossier, insisting that the FBI use “every resource available to investigate this matter.”

The Reid letter marked the first official blast of the Brennan-Clinton collusion narrative into the open. Clinton opposition-research firm Fusion GPS followed up by briefing its media allies about the dossier it had dropped off at the FBI. On Sept. 23, Yahoo News’s Michael Isikoff ran the headline: “U.S. intel officials probe ties between Trump adviser and Kremlin.” Voilà. Not only was the collusion narrative out there, but so was evidence that the FBI was investigating.

It might be one of the few times the smarmy little prick Brennan has actually told the truth . . .

John Brennan, Obama’s CIA director,

How did we get a Muslim Communist as the director of the CIA.

Oh, I remember we had a Muslim Communist as President.

________________________________

"continues to mount"? --- The only "mounting" that was being done was Brennan mounting Harry Reid.

What a FOUL, disgusting government we continue to have.

Prayers for Donald Trump, his administration, and the forces of good!

I don't remember if it was Sebastian Gorka or Dan Bongino who said on Hannity's tv show the other day that Brennan voted for the Communist Party candidate in an election.

Anybody else catch that or heard that before?

We will begin fighting fire with fire....or we will burn.

I trust Trump but I have grown weary. I can hope to make it to November with continual defeats for the rule of law and freedoms...in hopes of good results.

Has anyone seen (or heard from) AG Sessions? Did he die and it’s not being reported yet?

The Obama commissars Comey, Brennan, and Clapper controlled the FBI,the CIA and the NSA. Many Obama commissars remain imbedded in key positions in these agencies. How can Trump or any rational President trust the “intelligence” they produce? Its clear the globalist/socialist Left still has an agenda. They wish to scuttle any improvement between a nationalist, capitalist Russia that celebrates the best of its cultural heritage and the United States with similar values.
