Within all of the discoveries around the DOJ/FBI “Trump Operation” we are often questioned why former CIA Director John Brennan is not a specific focus.
The reason is quite simple…
Unlike some of the other conspirators, John Brennan recognized much earlier it would be in his best interests to have an exit plan to get him away from the inherent legal ramifications of the DOJ/FBI operation. Brennan was simply smarter about covering his tracks.
Early in our research we pointed this out – May of 2017.
Keep in mind, all of the referenced positions and statements come from a position where the larger intelligence leadership needed cover when it became obvious both the pre-election and post-election strategies against Donald Trump would not succeed.
ODNI Clapper, CIA Director Brennan, FBI Director Comey were foiled by NSA Director Mike Rogers telling president-elect Trump about the 2016 FBI/DOJ spy and surveillance operation on November 17th, 2016.
On May 23rd, 2017 former CIA Director John Brennan testified to congress on the Trump-Russia counter-intelligence operation which began in July 2016. Within Brennan’s testimony he contradicted the testimony of FBI Director James Comey (March 20th, 2017) and created his own exit plan. That Brennan exit-plan still holds value through today.
We have previously drawn attention to a particular part of former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to congress from March 20th, 2017. The issue is when was congressional leadership, specifically the congressional intelligence oversight group called the “Gang-of-Eight”, notified of the Trump-Russia investigation (a counter-intelligence operation).
Pay close attention. On March 20th, 2017 FBI Director James Comey -together with NSA head Admiral Mike Rogers- testified to congress specifically about this notification (first three minutes of the video):
Rep. Stefanik: [01:12] …”when did you notify the White House, the DNI or congressional leadership”?
James Comey: …”good question. Congressional leadership, sometime recently they were briefed on the nature of the investigation, as I said. Obviously the department of justice has been aware of it all along”…
Watch the first 3 minutes of that video. Notice the discomfort etc. We have previously outlined why THAT is such a big deal –SEE HERE– Comey is discussing the recent notification to congress that took place approximately a week earlier mid-March 2017 .
Prior to the March 2017 congressional notification FBI Director Comey admits keeping congress in the dark “because of the sensitivity of the matter” – from July 2016 through March 2017, eight months.
Now, watch the opening statement from former CIA Director John Brennan which followed two months later. Pay very close attention to the segment at 13:35 of this video of Brennan’s testimony as he discusses his CIA role in 2016 [Transcript included]:
Brennan: [13:35] “Third, through the so-called Gang-of-Eight process we kept congress apprised of these issues as we identified them.”
“Again, in consultation with the White House, I PERSONALLY briefedthe full details of our understanding of Russian attempts to interfere in the election to congressional leadership; specifically: Senators Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein and Richard Burr; and to representatives Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devin Nunes and Adam Schiff between 11th August and 6th September [2016], I provided the same briefing to each of the gang of eight members.”
“Given the highly sensitive nature of what was an active counter-intelligence case [that means the FBI], involving an ongoing Russian effort, to interfere in our presidential election, the full details of what we knew at the time were shared only with those members of congress; each of whom was accompanied by one senior staff member.”…
Brennan goes on to say the main substance of those Go8 meetings was the same as the main judgements of the January 2017 classified and unclassified intelligence assessments published by the CIA, FBI, DNI and NSA (intelligence community).
That January reference was the infamous 17 agencies report, from CIA (Brennan), DNI (Clapper), FBI (Comey) and NSA (Rogers). All had confidence, except Mike Rogers, according to the report that Russia was attempting to interfere in the 2016 election. That Joint-Analysis Report was pure nonsense – SEE HERE.
I have previously stated that if you put the nonsensical 2016 Joint Analysis Report together with the ridiculous “Clinton/Steele Dossier” I guarantee you that’s the majority of any evidence the FBI presented to the FISA Court. Hopefully, we’ll soon find out.
John Brennan set-up his exit strategy within that May 23rd,2017, congressional testimony. Notice how he says he briefed the Gang-of-Eight, and then turned his CIA information over to the FBI counterintelligence operation, that’s W.H. “Bill” Priestap.
Brennan testified that his specific intelligence product (CIA) was given to the FBI who were exclusively in charge of the “counter-intelligence investigation“. What’s happening there is John Brennan following James Comey by throwing FBI Director of Counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, under the bus.
I tell you, when the first rat gets his/her tail caught in the trap, he/she will start squealing and bust this investigation wide open. Fortunately, they are all interlocked (FISA/Uranium One/emails/Fusion GPS) and when the squealing starts, it will turn into a crescendo.
Get the first family to Mar a largo.
Where have all our little buddies, Greg, Rich, AJ, Marlow, been? Don’t they have all the REAL information to show the errors in this research or has Soros gone on vacation and is not shipping out talking points with the required regularity?
