Jennifer Kerns: Time to stop it with Trump, have a look at Brennan
 [Wash Examiner] In a court of law when it is discovered that evidence has been contaminated or a witness is lying, that evidence is thrown out and a jury is instructed to ignore the witness testimony.As new bombshell revelations prove the infamous "Trump dossier" was bought-and-paid-for by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee, the document that launched the Russian collusion investigation against President Trump must accordingly be thrown out. In light of the newest charge that the DNC and the Clinton campaign may have broken a dozen federal election laws with the document, special counsel Robert Mueller has no choice but to dismiss the Trump investigation. To fully understand how the partisan hit piece fueled Mueller's Russian investigation, one must remember how it all began. It was John Brennan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency under President Barack Obama, who accepted the now-debunked document and infused it into the bloodstream of the U.S. intelligence community. By acknowledging the document and logging it in his files, Brennan inadvertently gave the document a "Classified" rating, along with some hefty credence. The presumption among the intelligence community was that if the document was good enough for Brennan to believe, then it must have merit. But Brennan has had a couple of missteps when it comes to intelligence in his career. As CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1996, Brennan’s CIA missed any signs of the bombing that was to come of the Khobar Towers which killed 19 servicemen. In 2003, it was Brennan who advised President George W. Bush to establish an "Orange Terror Alert" during Christmas ‐ only to have that intelligence later debunked. As for the Trump dossier? Once it was injected into the bloodstream, the salacious document spread like wildfire throughout the intelligence community during a highly-charged election year. That would be fine if the FBI were in the gossip business. But they’re not. They’re in charge of pursuing actual threats to national security, not refereeing phony political hit jobs against Republicans. Now, although no one in the Democratic Party will take responsibility for it and Fusion GPS’s co-founders refuse to testify for fear of incriminating themselves, some legitimate questions remain. First, who gave Brennan the dossier? Posted by: Besoeker 2017-10-28 |
