The federal prosecutor appointed by Attorney General Bill Barr to look into the origins of the Russia probe is seeking communication records from the CIA relevant to former director John Brennan, the New York Times reported.
Durham needs to be at the top of the list of suspects to be investigated for collusion, conspiracy, and making false accusations against Trump’s enemies when the Dems get control in 2020. Turnabout is fair, right?
I suspect this is one of many leaks we will be seeing from this “investigation”.
Strategic to say the least. Durham has destroyed his reputation and for a vulgar lying mysogonist.
Straight-up authoritarianism. He’s being harassed because he’s a very public and prominent Trump critic. Period. No other reason.
Add Durham’s name to the ever-lengthening list of traitors and traitor-enablers.
" John Durham, the prosecutor, has asked the CIA for Brennan’s call records, emails and other documents"
Walking backwards into the future with this move.
BTW: Has anyone told Barr,that Trump has been impeached ?
Brennan’s material surely is top secret, so this process will take years in the courts. Ultimately it would have to be reviewed by a judge to determine whether it is relevant and can be released.
Because if this factor, look for the spin here. Brennan will righlty refuse because it’s a really bad precedent, it’s secret information and on and on. But then he’ll be accused of having something to hide. Deep state bullshit. Hannity and the other Fox News entertainers are licking their chops.
Revenge, pure and simple. It’s starting. IMPOTUS is never, ever, ever responsible, it’s always other people. And #IMPOTUS is gunning for rage victims – Brennan is clearly one.
The interview (on Maddow) is worth listening to, not because it’s surprising but because it’s so spot on.
Exactly. There’s not gonna be a stone left unturned in Donald’s desperate search for even a tiny nugget of self-worth. Nothing will ever be adequate, of course.
Excellent point. But let’s zoom out even further. They do this to literally everyone who criticizes them or stands up for principle. The most vicious attacks go to people he blames for the Russia probe, but it’s a constant firehose of slander. Who listens? The base, the base, always the strategy goes to hold the base. He never spent one day on a good-faith effort to be an effective president for everyone. You can’t fool all the people all the time, but that’s his strategy. I find it flawed.
Right now he just needs to fool sufficient people for a second Electoral College majority. Achieving that requires a number far smaller than all the people.
Yep.And Chris Hayes tells why.Probably will be called Revenge Scorn.
“Chris Hayes notes that impeachment marks the first time EVER that Trump is held publically accountable for his actions.”
I’ve said all along that I expected Barr to indict Brennan, Hillary, Mc Cabe, Lisa, Peter and even Obama. This is what the Communist Republican Party demands so Chairman Trump can have his Stalinoid rigged purge trials!
The fact that these asshole Gestapo-wannabe’s fail to recognize the power of the IC–and the scope of the IC’s dirt on all of them–tells you exactly how stupid and strategically outclassed they are. Every time they go after someone like Brennan, the shit-to-come gets worse for them.
I kinda missed the “stark”
Typical HuffPost
All hat, no cattle
All headline, no copy
Ashley Parker’s WaPo reporting today emphasizes just that point made by Katy Tur yesterday.
“This is the first time — if you don’t count 2018 and the election there — Donald Trump has suffered political consequences for his actions,” she said. “He faced none during the campaign. Not for the Muslim ban. Not for The Access Hollywood tape, and the dozens — dozens of women, more than a dozen women — who have accused him of sexual harassment or abuse. Not for calling Mexicans crossing the border ‘rapists.’ Not for calling on Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. Not for calling his political opponent to be locked up. Not for denigrating a Gold Star family.”
This needs to be hammered home repeatedly. There were plenty of people, including some Trump supporters, who were uncomfortable with his behavior.
It’s not okay, especially for the POTUS.
I know that, actually. But I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess you’re not in the volunteering trenches, seeing the mobilization going on. I’m seeing it myself in a key swing state.
I keep waiting (hoping) for the CIA to leak the Russian kompromat that exists on Trump.
