After Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz’s report was released, containing close to 500 pages of details showing political bias and possibly criminal FISA misconduct by the FBI, the IG submitted every word of it to US Attorney John Durham for criminal review.
Durham was appointed by Attorney General (AG) William Barr to look into the origins of the Obama administration’s attempted government coup during and after the 2016 presidential election to help Hillary Clinton win and to harm Donald Trump’s election efforts.
However, Durham, unlike IG Horowitz, has the authority to go outside of the DOJ and FBI to question witnesses and obtain documents. That’s one thing the Democrats and their boot-licking sycophants in the Fake News media never mention. Horowitz was very limited in who he could speak with. He had no subpoena powers, and could not call a grand jury, so even his devastating report was mild at best compared to what he could have discovered.
For example, Horowitz said that he didn’t believe the origin of the spying operation by fired and disgraced James Comey’s FBI was improperly predicated, but that’s more-than-likely because he was only able to obtain emails going back to May 31, 2016. The misconduct in how the whole FISA warrant application started happened before May 31, so the IG was not privy to that information. Durham is.
According to AG Barr, Durham is leaving nothing to chance by looking at the CIA and other intelligence agencies. Former CIA Director John Brennan, who pushed the false Russia collusion narrative for years, has become a target of his investigation.
The federal prosecutor scrutinizing the Russia investigation has begun examining the role of the former C.I.A. director John O. Brennan in how the intelligence community assessed Russia’s 2016 election interference, according to three people briefed on the inquiry.
John H. Durham, the United States attorney leading the investigation, has requested Mr. Brennan’s emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A., according to a person briefed on his inquiry. He wants to learn what Mr. Brennan told other officials, including the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, about his and the C.I.A.’s views of a notorious dossier of assertions about Russia and Trump associates.
Mr. Durham is also examining whether Mr. Brennan privately contradicted his public comments, including May 2017 testimony to Congress, about both the dossier and about any debate among the intelligence agencies over their conclusions on Russia’s interference, the people said.
Several Democrat lawmakers are now calling for Durham to resign, claiming he doesn’t “possess the personal integrity” to serve in the DOJ. This is what Democrats do. They first call allegations against their wrongdoing a conspiracy theory, and then when actual evidence appears, they attack the people running the investigation, claiming they just aren’t decent enough people to be running things. This is how they went against former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, convincing him to recuse himself from the Russia investigation, which we all now know was a giant lie by Democrats.
Many of the same Democrats have called on AG Barr to resign as well. It’s become a thing that if Democrats call on someone to resign, then you know that person is doing the job well, and the Democrats have something to hide that they desperately don’t want the American people to find out about.
Brennan also allegedly pushed the false, Clinton/DNC funded and Russia-sourced Steele dossier in 2016. In fact, it could be argued that the entire thing was started by Brennan, which is probably why he’s the most vocal and outspoken critic of President Trump on social media. He’s terrified of the consequences of his actions, because he, like everyone else involved in the coup attempt, thought Hillary Clinton would win the election, and none of their malfeasances would ever come to light.
We also recently reported that former NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers is voluntarily cooperating with Durham in the investigation, and since he had such a high position in the intelligence community, Brennan has an awful lot to sweat about.
