Special investigator John Durham seems to be concentrating on John Brennan as he investigates how the whole Russian collusion hoax got started. I firmly believe it was a plot because apparently everyone knew before Mueller’s investigation started that there was no there there as Peter Strzok phrased it in a missive to his lover, Lisa Page. If that is the case, someone had to be sowing the seeds of a scandal.
One clue that we may have is the fact that AG Bill Barr and Durham have made several trips overseas and met with intelligence in Great Britain, Italy and Australia. Italy seems to be the key as just when questions were being asked about a possible collaboration between US intelligence and Italian intelligence, four top ranking intelligence officials in Italy were asked to resign their positions.
John Brennan and James Clapper are fervent NeverTrumpers and neither one has a sterling reputation. You may remember that Obama had Brennan look through his passport records and the records of Obama, Clinton and McCain were all accessed at that time. Obama had made some questionable trips that he may have wanted covered up.
In October news broke that Attorney General Bill Barr and US Prosecutor John Durham were expanding their investigation on the origin of the Russia-collusion hoax.
Better yet — Durham was looking at Obama lackeys former DNI James Clapper and former CIA Chief John Brennan.
In December The New York Times reported that federal prosecutor John Durham is investigating former CIA Director John Brennan’s role in the 2016 election. Durham has called for Brennan’s emails, call logs and other documents.
The New York Times reported:
The analysts could have been engaged in standard bureaucratic behavior like obeying the filtering process or hoarding sensitive information. Or perhaps they were trying to cover something up. The questions asked by Mr. Durham and his team suggest they are looking for any potential basis to support making the latter reading, officials said. Mr. Durham has interviewed F.B.I. officials and agents who worked on the bureau’s Russia investigation, called Crossfire Hurricane, and for the special counsel who took over the inquiry, Robert S. Mueller III. They have also interviewed C.I.A. analysts.Mr. Durham and his team also interviewed around a half-dozen current and former officials and analysts at the National Security Agency, including its former director, the retired Adm. Michael S. Rogers, last summer and again last fall. The Intercept first reported the interviews of Admiral Rogers.
But Mr. Durham has not interviewed the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, his onetime deputy Andrew G. McCabe or Mr. Brennan. Mr. Durham has requested Mr. Brennan’s emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A. to learn what he told other officials, including Mr. Comey, about his and the C.I.A.’s views of a notorious dossier of assertions about Russia and Trump associates.
