-Lurid Crime Tales-
Investigators have learned that Obama CIA Director John Brennan ran a secret task force out of Langley with its own separate budget to investigate Trump campaign and alleged ties to Russia.
2020-09-09


It is being said that Brennan had a CIA unit outside of DC studying Trump over a year before the election. But, Trump wasn't even a top Republican contender then... so did he have a unit set up for each Republican contender? Why no discussion on that?

If each investigator earned $80K a year it would be a $150K a year cost to the CIA. If they earned $180K to $220K costing would need to be $400K per year per investigator. Office help is $40K costing about $80K with benefits. Office cost in D.C about $10K per person. There were 17 Republican Candidates so for cell type CIA grouping .. an office suite for each = 17 suites. Then the question is how many people in each group? Sn=seniors per group In=juniors per group, Hn= Office help per group.

Cost = 17(candidate count) * (group cost)[ Sn*$400K + In*$150K +Hn*(office help cost in DC) + + suite lease cost + material & research cost per group ]

so assume per group Sn=3 In=8 Hn=2 for 13 people per group. So group cost = 3*400K +8*150K +2*80K +13*10K + material & R&D
= 2.69M + misc
so 17x cost = 45.73 million plus 17*misc_costs.



Gateway Pundit - Sperry: John Brennan Was Running Secret CIA Task Force Out of Langley to Investigate Trump Before FBI Probe Launched in July 2016.

Should actually come as no surprise. In addition to FBI Director Wraye, perhaps Senator Graham can also thank John Brennan for his cooperation.

#18  More along the lines of breaking up the USSR and reducing Soviet influence.

#17  But Russia's not Communist....I mean, wasn't the Cold War all about fighting "Communism"?

#16  It's more likely that Brennan had ties to Russia than Trump. After all, It was Brennan who voted for a communist running in a U.S. election.

#15  Re #13: LEGALLY, they can't. But those laws are for the little people.

#14  Personal slush fund as well. All on a "black" budget that nobody audits.

I want to see Brennan die in prison, in an orange jumpsuit.

#13  I thought CIA couldn't operate in the Us against US citizens?

#11  #7 and #8, well, somebody got the money from all that Afghan opium.

#10  So the Central Intelligence Agency wasn't "enough" after 9/11. All part and parcel of government just getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER.

#9  Ref #6. The DNI is a powerless non-entity created to provide the illusion of oversight and control.

#8  ^Like why USA in Afghanistan?

#7  I believe the CIA may have other financing ways...
Posted by: Bright Pebbles   2020-09-09 08:36  

#6  /\. Hence DNI to clip CIA's wings or just another MASSIVE [deep-state] bureaucracy?
Posted by: Clem   2020-09-09 07:23  

#5  Maybe, just maybe, CIA is - just a bit - too independent? Asking for a friend.

#4  I do not think Brennan was tasked to investigate Trump. His efforts were to ensure that Trump would be investigated.

#3  Now to investigate Biden's ties to Ukraine and 0Bama regime's ties to Iran.

But publicly.

#2  No shit, Sherlocks. This isn't news.
Either McCarthy or Solomon (?) broke this story about Soetoro & Brennan's "war room" three years ago

#1  "He’d been doing this well before Trump. As I have reported."

Obama must have had him looking at all the so called "enemies of Obama" during the first term
