CIA Analysts Lawyer Up As Brennan, Clapper Ensnared In Expanding Russiagate Probe

[Zero Hedge] CIA analysts involved in the intelligence assessment of Russia's activities during the 2016 US election have begun to hire attorneys, as Attorney General William Barr expands his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, led by US Attorney John Durham.

The prosecutor conducting the review, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, has expressed his intent to interview a number of current and former intelligence officials involved in examining Russia’s effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, Brennan told NBC News. -NBC

NBC learned of the 'lawyering up' from three former CIA officials "familiar with the matter," while two more anonymous leakers claim there's tension between the Justice Department and the CIA over what classified documents Durham has access to.

#3 "We of the Kabuki anti-defamation league resent comparisons to American Democrats. We make no secret of who and how we preform and we don't delude ourselves that what we do is "real" life. "

#5 Calling it Kabuki gives them too much credit.

There's nothing refined or ancient or elevated about their stupid tricks.

The Steele dossier, the FISA application, the Jan. 2017 report to Congress, their buffoonish fulminations on idiot talking heads cable shows: these are too clownish and stupid to deserve comparison with a centuries-old art form.

Theater, yes: theater of obvious, blatant, absurdly unbelievable and repulsive nonsense. Theater of shit.

Aka The Shitshow.
