The bombshell is that its taken this long. Brennan is a criminal operative — all the way back to Obama’s passport breach at the State Department back in 2008.

Bombshell Report: Durham Investigating If Obama Admin and CIA under John Brennan Hid or Manipulated Evidence of Russian Meddling
Story continues below advertisementThe New York Times is at it again.
They seem to always be there, ready to spin a story to minimize the damage to Democrats.
This time, they seem to be wanting to cast aspersions and seeds of doubt about U.S. Attorney John Durham and something interesting he’s reportedly found.
Check out the first paragraph of their story:
From the New York Times:
Trump administration officials investigating the government’s response to Russia’s election interference in 2016 appear to be hunting for a basis to accuse Obama-era intelligence officials of hiding evidence or manipulating analysis about Moscow’s covert operation, according to people familiar with aspects of the inquiry.
Hmm, another non-spin way to write that might be “Durham is looking into the question of whether Obama-era intelligence officials hid evidence about Russian meddling.”
Wow. So let’s see what’s under that report.
Questions asked by Mr. Durham, who was assigned by Attorney General William P. Barr to scrutinize the early actions of law enforcement and intelligence officials struggling to understand the scope of Russia’s scheme, suggest that Mr. Durham may have come to view with suspicion several clashes between analysts at different intelligence agencies over who could see each other’s highly sensitive secrets, the people said.
Mr. Durham appears to be pursuing a theory that the C.I.A., under its former director John O. Brennan, had a preconceived notion about Russia or was trying to get to a particular result — and was nefariously trying to keep other agencies from seeing the full picture lest they interfere with that goal, the people said.
So what was it they may have been hiding, according to this report? You have to read way into the story before you find out as they bury it further down.
According to the Times, some in the FBI have suggested to Durham that’s wrong while others are “reserving judgment.” Then the Times suggests, of course, that’s going to make it look like “Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his enemies.” Now you know it must be good when the spin is this intense.
The Times says Durham was asking questions about a variety of incidents that seemed to involve interagency fights over not being allowed to see data or having a different opinion on that data.
One involved the clash over a reported informant in the Kremlin, with the CIA reluctant to provide information about that informant.
But officials disagreed about how much weight to give the source’s information, and the intelligence community’s eventual assessment apparently reflected that division. While the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. concluded with “high confidence” that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was specifically trying to help Mr. Trump win the election, the National Security Agency agreed but said it had only “moderate confidence.”
The Times also notes there were concerns about whether the informant may have been a double agent because he wouldn’t leave initially when they wanted to get him out.
A second incident involved data that the Times didn’t clarify that the CIA wasn’t sharing with the NSA, or whether the CIA needed to filter American names or organizations out of it.
Now we get to the money paragraphs.
Officials also differed over access to unclassified emails of American officials that the Russian government had previously hacked, including at the White House and State Department.
A foreign ally’s intelligence service had obtained its own copy of the stolen messages and provided drives with another reproduction of them to the United States government. Investigators, including at the F.B.I., wanted to look at those files. They argued that the Russian hackers’ chosen focus while the Kremlin’s election interference operation was gearing up might shed light on that operation.
But an index of the messages compiled by the unnamed foreign ally showed that they included emails from President Barack Obama as well as members of Congress. Mr. Obama’s White House counsel, W. Neil Eggleston, decided that investigators should not open the drives, citing executive privilege and the possibility of a separation-of-powers uproar if the F.B.I. sifted through lawmakers’ private messages.
Oh, my. So if this is true, the Russians may have hacked the White House, the State Department and obtained the emails of members of Congress, the Russians have seen these emails, but the Obama administration wasn’t letting the FBI see them not only to determine the Russian meddling but to maybe determine what information in those messages may have been compromised and how to protect or guard against it happening again. How do they have “executive privilege” after these were hacked? Not to mention they don’t have executive privilege over emails of members of Congress. Of course, we were kept from knowing that this happened or what was in those messages. Did anyone ever tell Congress this happened?
Mr. Durham has interviewed F.B.I. officials and agents who worked on the bureau’s Russia investigation, called Crossfire Hurricane, and for the special counsel who took over the inquiry, Robert S. Mueller III. They have also interviewed C.I.A. analysts.
Mr. Durham and his team also interviewed around a half-dozen current and former officials and analysts at the National Security Agency, including its former director, the retired Adm. Michael S. Rogers, last summer and again last fall. The Intercept first reported the interviews of Admiral Rogers.
But Mr. Durham has not interviewed the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, his onetime deputy Andrew G. McCabe or Mr. Brennan. Mr. Durham has requested Mr. Brennan’s emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A. to learn what he told other officials, including Mr. Comey, about his and the C.I.A.’s views of a notorious dossier of assertions about Russia and Trump associates.
The Times questioned Brennan for his opinion on the report. He, of course, tried to dismiss it while at the same time suggesting it was dangerous. “It’s kind of silly,” he claimed. “Is there a criminal investigation now on analytic judgments and the activities of C.I.A. in terms of trying to protect our national security? I’m certainly willing to talk to Mr. Durham or anybody else who has any questions about what we did during this period of 2016.”
He then blamed Trump, of course, because that’s what he does. “It clearly, I think, is another indication that Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice to go after his enemies any way he can.”
This may explain why he’s been especially nervous and ranty as of late.
I’m just going to take a wild guess that when the Republicans in Congress start absorbing this report, they are not going to be happy about it and maybe not even some of the Democrats if they are just finding out now about the information including their emails which may have been compromised.

Man he looks like a gulag guard stereotype.
0rc’s were Elve’s once, twisted and mut!lated by the Dark Lord S0ROS.
James Clapper and John Brennan are his finest creations.
Great one, Charlie… you are bang-on.
Agreed. The dictionary defines a lowbrow as a dull and ignorant individual. His natural demeanor screams that such is the case with Brennan.
Ya with a face that only a mother could love. Scratch that because I don’t think even his mother would be proud of a mug like that! Does he look evil or what?
Brennan has a face made for 1980s tv villainy.
the bombshell would be if anything really happened to any of these crooks
meanwhile-some new information around every corner
and it is all a nothing burger
Justice Dept. has to check with the political campaigns before it can make any decisions.
Also, Manafort in prison, the Podestas walking free and still advising Democrats.
I am being cautiously optimistic by adopting the attitude that this will work out the way it should with the indictment of the key players from the Obhammud administration under the assumption that all good things happen for those who wait.
I’m not holding my breath – The magnitude of this is epic – and we hear ….. crickets.
Don’t hold your breath!
I hope you’re right, but loyal Democrats seem to be above the law.
OBAMA SOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF US SINCE 30 YEARS
I’m going to coin a new term, freudian guilt. Brennan and it seems like all the people in this Obama Intel conspiracy, leave little Freudian slip tidbits of guilt crumbs without realizing it.
Relax folks, nothing decisive is gonna happen. Once the Durham report is in, the DOJ will give it due consideration and issue its usual statement, “The DOJ has decided not to prosecute.”. Same old, same old…
I haven’t heard of any cases being referred to a grand jury to determine if there needs to be any indictments. The prosecutors are calling the shots. They are appointed rather than being elected officials.
Congress can’t do anything that’s going to be honest, the whole objective being to get rid of political opponents rather than prosecute crimes.
The system appears to be rife with corruption.
There is no transparency, the whole system being run on a (Trust me) basis.
I don’t think there’s any way to fix it.
High government officials appear to have immunity from prosecution.
All the public can hope for is transparency with potentially exposure of criminal activity but the government appears to be incapable of policing itself.
Yep- it’s certainly a pattern in 2020 America.
It really pisses me off that Democrats are never held responsible for anything! You know if they were Republicans they would string them up on the nearest tree! ???? Oh are the SJW’s gonna go after me for that remark? LMAO????
Far more likely it will parallel the findings of the DOJ IG–there was no coup plot and the work the IC did was legitimate and honest.
The corruption is from the Barr ‘investigations.’
All of this is smoke and mirrors to cover up the greatest crime committed against America when the saudi king in an arabic broadcast boasted he would place a moslem in the White House by 2008. He then proceeded with massive bribes and corruption to high government and media officials to put the obama in the white House. All who partook of that corruption are guilty of high treason and subject to constitutional punishment and that is why we see such animus towards President Trump. The traitors are fighting for their lives!
Proscribe islam
A vote for a democrat is a vote for sharia!
Brennan is as bad as he looks! A scumb*g!
Eric Holder went after Mobama’s enemies relentlessly! This is nothing new.
Investigate, investigate, investigate! How about prosecute, prosecute, prosecute! Everybody knows what happened and who did what to whom! Get on with it and stop pussyfooting around!!!!
They busted into their houses, arrested, prosecuted and jailed Col. Flyn and Paul Manafort in a heartbeat. What the hell is taking so long?
Most likely a Democrat at the DOJ will ensure he is never looked into with any serious effort. I can see why the ruling class are Democrats- they are above the law so long as they don’t turn stoolie.
I’ve stopped holding my breath… call me cynical but I’ll believe that Durham is doing a criminal investigation when criminals are being brought to justice. So far all I see is whitewashing… a bleach bit of sorts to make sure nobody who is responsible for this obvious coup attempt is prosecuted. So far we have Comey and now McCabe who will not be prosecuted in any way despite what they did was actually worse then Flynn or Stone to whom they are trying to throw the book after they’ve filled the books with bricks.
Call me sceptical as well as cynical. Until a swamper is gaoled for more than 5 years it is no more than an exercise in woke style virtue signa;;ing or RightTalk.
They missed “created” evidence of Russian meddling. The boss was in tight with Putin already and it would be a piece of cake.
Maybe Brennan and the CIA concluded that the Russians were intervening in the US 2016 election because the Russians were intervening in the US 2016 election.
