Indictments Could Be Coming For ‘Deep State’ And Brennan Is At Top Of List

Just because President Donald Trump has been impeached does not mean that the wheels of justice have stopped rolling against those who, many believe, conspired against him.
Everyone and anyone who has been paying attention and has an ounce of common sense knows that there was a coup attempted against this president.
The Inspector General’s report does not rule out political bias because you would have to be blind as a bat to not see the bias.
And there is a good chance that indictments are going to start coming for the deep state actors who hatched this scheme.
It is likely that Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI attorney who altered documents to say that former Trump campaign aid Carter Page was not a source for another agency, will be indicted.
An email was sent to Clinesmith from another agency’s liaison about Page.
Clinesmith subsequently “altered the liaison’s email by inserting the words ‘not a source’ into it, thus making it appear that the liaison had said that Page was ‘not a source’ for the other agency” and sent it to “Supervisory Special Agent 2,” Horowitz said.
“Relying upon this altered email, [Clinesmith] signed the third renewal application that again failed to disclose Page’s past relationship with the other agency,” he said.
And the U.
S. Attorney’s Office in Washington is contemplating criminal charges against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe who “lacked candor” with former FBI Director James Comey, the Justice Department and FBI investigators about his authorization to leak to the media.
But the biggest catch could be former CIA Director John Brennan who has spent his retirement on television and Twitter whining about the president.
The New York Times reported that John H. Durham, the U.S. attorney investigating the investigators “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,” it said.
Brennan and those who defend him say that he did not do anything improper and that he was correct in pursuing the Russian interference investigation.
“I feel good about what it is we did as an intelligence community, and I feel very confident and comfortable with what I did, so I have no qualms whatsoever about talking with investigators who are going to be looking at this in a fair and appropriate manner,” he said to MSNBC.
It kind of sounds like what a kid tells you after you catch them doing something.
They tell you they did nothing wrong and that if you find that they did then you just have it in for them.
But the big part of Durham’s investigation centers on whether Brennan perjured himself, and that could, and should, lead to a criminal indictment if it is found that he did.
“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 New York Times said, citing people close to the investigation.
“In sworn testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in May of 2017, Brennan claimed that the Steele dossier was ‘not in any way used as the basis for the intelligence community’s assessment’ that Russia interfered in the election to help elect Donald Trump.
He has repeated this claim numerous times in media appearances, including last February on ‘Meet the Press,” American Greatness reported.
Two top former Obama administration officials have since then contradicted Brennan’s testimony about the unverified dossier.
Retired National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have both made statements that suggest Brennan may have perjured himself when he testified about anti-Trump Steele dossier.
Rogers stated in a classified letter to Congress that the DNC and Clinton campaign-funded dossier did factor into the assessment, and Clapper conceded in a recent CNN interview that the ICA was based on “some of the substantive content of the dossier.”
None of this means that Brennan is going to be indicted. These deep state types tend to find ways to wiggle out of jams that the normal citizen could not.
But it is possible, and it is definitely enough to give the former CIA Director some sleepless nights.
