Obama loyalist Brennan drove FBI to begin investigating Trump associates last summer |
2017-05-31 |
[Wash Times] What caused the Barack Obama administration to begin investigating the Donald Trump campaign last summer has come into clearer focus following a string of congressional hearings on Russian interference in the presidential election. It was then-CIA Director John O. Brennan, a close confidant of Mr. Obama’s, who provided the information -- what he termed the "basis" -- for the FBI to start the counterintelligence investigation last summer. Mr. Brennan served on the former president’s 2008 presidential campaign and in his White House. Mr. Brennan told the House Intelligence Committee on May 23 that the intelligence community was picking up tidbits on Trump associates making contacts with Russians. Mr. Brennan did not name either the Russians or the Trump people. He indicated he did not know what was said. But he said he believed the contacts were numerous enough to alert the FBI, which began its probe into Trump associates that same July, according to previous congressional testimony from then-FBI director James B. Comey. The FBI probe of contacts came the same month the intelligence community fingered Russian agents as orchestrating hacks into Democratic Party computers and providing stolen emails to WikiLeaks. Mr. Brennan, who has not hidden his dislike for Mr. Trump, testified he briefed the investigation’s progress to Mr. Obama, who at the time was trying to aid Hillary Clinton in her campaign against the Republican nominee. |

#6 Behind Brennan and the CIA cronies, you will find the actual architects of Champs administration. - ValJar, Soros and the Center for American Progress. Yes, with Brennan at the wheel, architects of the 'Deep State' or 4th branch of government, or shadow government. You pick the title, it's all the same. Soetoro was little more than a face, an empty suit. |

#4 Sounds a lot more like CIA interference in the election than anything else. |

#3 "Russian agents as orchestrating hacks into Democratic Party computers" We now know this wasn't a Russianhack it was a leak from Seth Rich. And Podestra's email was cracked probably by KimDotCom. |

#2 The FBI probe of contacts came the same month the intelligence community fingered Russian agents as orchestrating hacks into Democratic Party computers and providing stolen emails to WikiLeaks. Emphasis added. Probably just a coincidence. |
