Phase 3 of the House Investigation Will Probe the Intelligence Community, and Ask Whether John Brennan Perjured Himself in Dossier Testimony

They all perjure themselves, and dare us to prosecute.

Maybe it's time to take the dare.

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 [], 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.
.
...

The aide, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said Nunes will focus on Brennan as well as President Obama’s first CIA director, Leon Panetta, along with the former president’s intelligence czar, James Clapper, and national security adviser, Susan Rice, and security adviser-turned U.N. ambassador Samantha Power, among other intelligence officials.

"John Brennan did more than anyone to promulgate the dirty dossier," the investigator said. "He politicized and effectively weaponized what was false intelligence against Trump."

Attempts to reach Brennan for comment were unsuccessful.

Several Capitol Hill sources say Brennan, a fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up the dossier to Democratic leaders, as well as the press, during the campaign.

Sperry has a long article at RCP. It's worth the full read.

65 Sounds pretty obvious - if he was under oath, into the pokey he should go.

However, in recognition of his years of service to our country, give him the exact same sentence Scooter Libby got.

I'm not sure what the counter argument is. he didn't say "he didn't know" he definitely said he did know, and made assurances regarding lies to congress.

And if that makes him and his allies unhappy, if they think this is unfair, well, might I suggest they look at who foisted this pack of lies onto them? Who manipulated them into lying before congress?

Who indeed?

My suspicion is that Sessions knows that the Resistance is so unconcerned with fact that any trial of Hillz or her major minion would result in an acquittal just as OJ's murder trial resulted in an acquittal despite conclusive evidence.

128 While riding a bus to class at Fordham, [Brennan] saw an ad in The New York Times that said the CIA was recruiting, and he felt a CIA career would be a good match for his "wanderlust" and his desire to do public service.[6] His studies included a junior year abroad learning Arabic and taking Middle Eastern studies courses at the American University in Cairo.[4][6]

In 1976, he voted for Communist Party USA candidate Gus Hall in the presidential election; he later said that he viewed it as a way "of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change."

Putin is probably more than tired of the US focusing their attention on Russia. It took this past election to actually get the left to agree that Russia is not our friend and often a deadly foe.

I can't believe he wants any more scrutiny on Uranium One or any other Hillary scandal and getting rid of a big link in the chain leading back to him is an easy step for him to make.

I have no idea if this is just a wild conspiracy or real but Putin clearly has the means and has shown repeatedly that he is one ruthless bastard in the pursuit of money and power. I wouldn't be shocked if it was true.

Posted by: MAGA at February 12, 2018 12:21 PM (LnOh3)


That was revised down to 3-4 when the LIVs weren't paying attention. I am betting only 1-2 were based on any real intelligence, such as signals, that showed some Russian-based activity, but not in the way it was way oversold.

It was probably as much as it ever was, and they just took the opportunity, via the political appointees to craft it into the collusion, Russia hacked the election narrative.

Hell, the FBI adopted, in toto, the the Russia hacked the DNC computers line from the paid hillary/DNC contractor, Crowdstrike, who subsequently got a massive infusion of cash from Google, conveniently timed, without so much as analyzing the DNC servers.


So even that 1-4 intelligence agencies' analyses number is suspect, given what we know about the weaponization of intelligence and justice against Trump.

Possible? concur...

But one thing Putin is, is rational.... he is a chess player... he does not go off half cocked...

Why burn effective Agents, when you really don't gain anything? The US can't get to them... they are not subject to US Subpoena... unless they VOLUNTEER to come back to the US.

Now, on the other hand... IF they came back and volunteered to testify, and have some juicy stuff about the Obama Admin.... it would be catastrophic to 'Internationalists'... ie the Soros types... because the anger would drive the US even more towards Nationalism, and the protection of its own self interests.

The answer is in your question. Millian was no longer and effective agent. It's clear that the Uranium One investigation which Sleepy Jeff opened last year is real and getting indictments. It's not hard to see where this leads and that is straight to Putin.

All Millian could do now is be a liability. He served his purpose and like all Russian oligarchs in Putin's Russia, they are valuable until they aren't.

Interesting tidbit, remember Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian spy Putin had killed in London? Guess who the MI6 agent assigned to investigation into his death was?

Christopher Steele.

275 Brennan has himself previously taken credit for initiating the inquiry. While on Meet the Press, Brennan suggested that the British sent their intelligence on to the FBI, in his May testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, he indicated it came from him directly.

"I was aware," Brennan said in May, "of intelligence and information about contacts between Russian officials and U.S. persons that raised concerns in my mind about whether or not those individuals were cooperating with the Russians, either in a witting or unwitting fashion, and it served as the basis for the FBI investigation to determine whether such collusion -- cooperation occurred."

276 I guess conflict of interest isn't a thing anymore if you are part of the mainstream media. Let's hire guys in the middle of an ongoing investigation to comment, unchallenged, on the ongoing investigation. NBC, ABC, and CNN have officially killed journalism at their organizations.

Posted by: IanDeal at February 12, 2018 12:55 PM (qcIL3)

277 It's plausible and possible that the assessment that Russia preferred Trump was based on things entirely separate from the dossier - actual intel of the usual sort.


If the assessment is based on only the laughable online ad buys, then it's ridiculous - and the usual characterization from the past, that it was designed to disrupt generally, not favor one side, would apply.


Of course it makes no sense at all that Russia would favor Trump, for reasons many have noted. His policy stances were all far more negative from Moscow's perspective, and they knew they had an inept, corrupt, not very bright option in Hillz (if the Russian assessment of Clinton changed much after the astonishing, ridiculous stunt with the mistranslated "reset" button at her first meeting with Lavrov, I'd be disappointed in them).


And Brennan's a freak and a clueless disaster, but alway was, and I just don't see him emerging as central in this, vs. other names we are already talking about.

Among other things it highlights another flaw in the FISA process and the Five Eyes process.

Our intelligence agency can't spy on Americans legally without a warrant but they can spy on any foreign citizen they want.

Guess what, our foreign partners have similar laws and given the chummy relationship between spooks in our web not too hard to imagine the Brits doing Brennan a solid and spying on the Trump campaign and sharing the information long before a warrant ever became an issue.

I saw he tweeted about it with a sort of "who knows if this story is true" type angle, with the CIA denying. He should be able to get that story verified ASAP.

325 Friendly foreign intel services have long helped us out in a pinch, in various ways that some would say raise questions about circumvention of our policies.


It's perfectly logical, and to be expected. The most recent thing that got some attention were the renditions and interrogations post-9/11 that were all entirely overseas.


But the kind of cooperation discussed in the Tablet article - particularly close foreign services effectively helping us circumvent restrictions on our intel operations WRT American citizens, and even things taking place inside the US - is obviously far more fraught with potential for meaningful abuse. And it's been happening for a long time.

339 If I didn't know that was an official portrait of Mooch, if it were just any old painting, I'd rate it as good. I like the composition, the muted colors, the way the whole painting reflects the geometrical patterns of the dress.
Nice artistry.

The Obama portrait, though achieving a decent likeness of his face, is garish, tacky, and ill-composed. I find it rather ugly.

340 Michelle's portrait doesn't look like her. The chair for Obama is not in proportion, but they're both appropriately flattering-which I suppose was the intention.

348 we'll never know whether that Russian plane crash was accident or intentional - I can make the case either way. I don't get why Putin would care about these 2 guys, they were no threat to him.

In this country, we're used to aircraft being maintained to the best of standards, so weird and stupid accidents don't happen - but much of the world, and especially Russia, treats their aircraft like old used cars, and just lives with the fact that they go down fairly often.

How a plane blows up shortly after takeoff without a bomb - engine that hasn't been maintained suffers a catastrophic failure and flies apart, allowing shards of hot metal to pierce the fuel tanks in the wing. Fuel pours onto the burning fragments of the engine and ignites.

An honest accident investigation could confirm the cause, but we'll never get an honest investigation in Russia. So we'll never know.

397 OT: so I've been telling people who have an interest in some Olympic event to watch the online stream, not the broadcast version. At least for the things I am interested in (biathlon, x-c ski, ski jumping), expert commentators, no stupid NBC on-air personalities or b.s. Just the event.


So last night I clicked on one of the broacast-versions (there's PrimeTime, NBCSports or something, etc.) just to see. To my surprise, they had the men's 5K speed skating on - so I watched that. Just before the final (favored, Dutch) skater took the ice, they broke away as they do in these edited broadcast "shows", to other stuff.


They had a brief review of the amazing story of the Norwegian x-c skier who literally came from last place, after a crash at the start, to win the ski-athlon event. One of the true banner stories of any Olympics, seriously.


The very next item the host went to - words were something like "but Joe Blow was also making his impact on the Olympics, after arriving in Korea - the openly gay figure skater blah blah blah".


Galactic face-palm, of course. Where to begin. "Openly gay figure skater" - I am simply wordless with the potential there. But jeebus, what insane, embarrassing, pinch-yourself-is-this-real idiocy. Think that will be the last time I click on an Olympics "show" as opposed to an event.

A dead beaver in the road."

This was the basis for a legendary tale in our family. A few years go, the same thing happened to me - saw a dead beaver in the road, never had seen that. Drove home, told the wife, she said "really??? I want to see it!!!" I didn't think it was a great idea, but got talked into it, and so me, her and the child loaded up to go see the beaver.

And by the time we got there it had been run over about 20 more times and it was just a bloody and disgusting lump of raw hamburger in the middle of the road, and we all thought "I can't believe we just drove way out of our way to see this."

So sometimes even today when the question comes up, "where do you want to go?" one of us will say "hey, want to go see the dead beaver???"

417 Brennan was accused of being a Muslim convert by a former FBI employee who himself had to resign because of a sexual scandal. The rumor further fueled because Brennan did not use the Bible for his oath of office but rather the Constitution. His assignments in the Middle East and positive comments on Islam did not help squash the rumors.

One story was Trump confronted May with that (and he would know if it was fact, I suppose). So if they kept helping after the election, or even into the campaign, it would be them helping take down a duly elected president, using our intelligence agencies.

May looked rather uncomfortable sitting next to Trump after that, like she had been caught cheating. But that is supposition. it rings true though ... May is not really fully on board with Brexit ... more globalist it would seem.
