Congressional Investigators ‘Trying To Get To The Bottom' Of Brennan's Role In Russia Investigation
[Daily Caller] A book published in March offered a startling but little-noticed revelation about former CIA Director John Brennan. According to "Russian Roulette," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid believed Brennan was using him as a conduit to publicize possible links between Trump campaign associates and the Russian government.

Brennan’s contacts with Reid ‐ and other activities during the 2016 presidential campaign ‐ are of "significant" interest to congressional investigators trying to figure out the ex-spy’s early role in the Russia investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation is told.

"By his own account, Brennan played a prominent role in starting the investigation of Trump’s team," a congressional source with direct knowledge of the House of Representatives’ Russia investigations tells TheDCNF.
"Investigators in Congress suspect there are important details about his role that he hasn’t revealed, and we’re trying to get to the bottom of it."

According to "Russian Roulette," by Yahoo! News chief investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff and David Corn, the Washington bureau chief of the left-wing Mother Jones magazine, Brennan contacted Reid on Aug. 25, 2016 to brief him on the state of Russia’s interference in the presidential campaign. Brennan briefed other members of the so-called Gang of Eight, but Reid is the only who took direct action.

#4  Besoeker - Ask TW for a copy of the last graphic I sent her. I will fix this for you again but you should really learn the formatting.

#6  Glad you are helping upgrade our formatting skills, 3dc. I’ve been doing the best I can with what I’ve been able to pick up by seeing what happened when I fiddled with it, rather than proper training.

Obama State Dept used taxpayer dollars to fund George Soros group's political activities in Albania
Mr. Soros has plenty of his own money. There was absolutely no need to add money borrowed from China to it.
[FOX] The Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayer funds to a group backed by billionaire George Soros to fund left-wing activities in Albania, a conservative watchdog group says.

The group, Judicial Watch, obtained 32 pages of records from the Justice Department this week through a May 2017 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID.)

The new documents show USAID funds were sent through the agency’s Civil Society Project to back Soros’ left-wing "East West Management Institute" through USAID's "Justice for All" campaign. USAID provided $8.8 million in 2016 to that campaign.

The Justice for All Project was designed to strengthen the effectiveness and transparency of the courts in Albania. The project aimed to increase citizens’ trust in the judiciary and a more efficient judicial system, according to USAID.

#1  Whenever you see the acronym USAID, please assume Klingon. Your understanding of organizational underpinnings will be greatly assisted.

#2  When you see Klingon, think globalist and their self enrichment programs.

#4  Where the heck has Soros not meddled in a countries internal political activities? The Open Society has meddled in the Ukraine, Macedonia, Romaine, Hungary, pushed unlimited immigration from North Africa and the M.E. into Europe, supported the anti-Brexits, supported "Ready for Hillary in 2016" in the U.S. to name a few. Indeed the globalists have tried to destroy the sovereignty of many, many countries--successfully in many cases. One might think Soros was in bed with that clown Brennan.

#5  So it's OK for the US to meddle in the elections of other countries but it's NOT OK for Russia to meddle in our elections. I get it.

#6  Don't forget the Russians gifted $140 million to the Hillary campaign. Isn't that meddling?

#7  Mexico. If the Russian conduct is the yardstick we must adhere to then we must PNG all of their diplomats. Just an example of how hypocritical and partisan this farce is.
