CIA Ex-Director Brennan's Perjury Peril
2018-02-14
[Real Clear Investigations] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes next plans to investigate the role former CIA Director John Brennan and other Obama intelligence officials played in promoting the salacious and unverified Steele dossier on Donald Trump -- including whether Brennan perjured himself in public testimony about it.

In his May 2017 testimony before the intelligence panel, Brennan emphatically denied the dossier factored into the intelligence community’s publicly released conclusion last year that Russia meddled in the 2016 election "to help Trump’s chances of victory."

Brennan also swore that he did not know who commissioned the anti-Trump research document (excerpt here), even though senior national security and counterintelligence officials at the Justice Department and FBI knew the previous year that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Last week, Nunes (R-Calif.) released a declassified memo exposing surveillance "abuses" by the Obama DOJ and FBI in their investigation of Trump’s ties to Russia. It said the agencies relied heavily on the uncorroborated dossier to take out a warrant to secretly surveil a Trump adviser in the heat of the 2016 presidential election, even though they were aware the underlying "intelligence" supporting the wiretap order was political opposition research funded by Clinton allies ‐ a material fact they concealed from FISA court judges in four separate applications.

#4  For a certain class of people there is no such thing as "peril."

#1  Without the klingons being on board with it, Barry Soretto would NEVER have been President of this Nation.
That is the real scandal over all.

He is a subversive and always was. And had we not known Hillary was , she could have been President too.

Corruption will not stand
and the Truth, may make you free - if you purge this
