2019-12-28
[Hot Air] A week ago the NY Times reported that the ongoing Durham investigation was looking at former CIA Director John Brennan’s possible role in pushing the Steele dossier. Today Politico published a piece which reads like push back against the Durham investigation from the CIA:

So who are these folks expressing concern about the Durham investigation? John McLaughlin is a former CIA Deputy Director who said last month "Thank God for the deep state" when talking about the push to impeach President Trump [Notice that John Brennan is sitting next to him]:

#6  Dear CIA veterans,

You don't run the country.

You don't set foreign policy.

You aren't kingmakers.

If you don't agree with the above, resign. Otherwise worse things will come to you.

#4  Take heart Brennan colleagues. Prisons everywhere are full of people disappointed about one legal outcome or another. You're in good company.
