Spygate: Brennan Was the Deep-State Boss

Former Obama CIA Director John Brennan is seemingly implicated in a plot to spy on Trump.

More news has come to light that implicates Barack Obama administration hack’s involvement in a plot that President Donald Trump has dubbed “Spygate.” Mounting evidence suggests that leadership within U.S. intelligence agencies, specifically the FBI and CIA, secretly orchestrated a surveillance operation against the Trump campaign soon after he won the Republican primary. As we noted last week, it appears that part of this joint CIA-FBI program, codenamed “Operation Crossfire Hurricane,” was the placement of a mole within the Trump campaign. That spy is widely believed to be Stefan Halper, a professor with dual U.S.-British citizenship who has deep connections with both U.S. and British intelligence.

However, it’s those individuals behind any plot who are the most responsible. And a name that has been rapidly rising to the top of the Spygate suspect list is that of Barack Obama’s former CIA director, John Brennan. Brennan has been one of the loudest Obama-era officials criticizing Trump, regularly blaming him for “threatening America’s democracy.” Typical of this hyperbole was his message to congressional Republican leaders on Sunday, in which he warned, “If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. You do a great disservice to our Nation & the Republican Party if you continue to enable Mr. Trump’s self-serving actions.”

But what makes Brennan rise to the top of the list are questions regarding his involvement with the infamous Christopher Steele fake dossier funded by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. It appears that Brennan lied to Congress when he testified that the Steele dossier had nothing to do with the intelligence community’s conclusion that Russian election interference was intended to help Trump. As Investor’s Business Daily notes, “Brennan also lied when he said he didn’t know who was behind the Steele dossier, even though both the Justice Department and FBI knew a year earlier that Hillary Clinton, Trump’s foe, had paid for the Steele hit job. The idea [that] Brennan, head of the world’s most powerful spy agency, didn’t know who was paying for the dossier simply isn’t credible on any level.”

As Mark Alexander has noted, “It has long been suspected that Brennan included the Clinton-funded fake Trump dossier in an Intelligence Community Assessment report on 2016 Russian election interference, and presented it to Obama in a briefing. Once it was given the gravitas of legitimacy by that inclusion, it was then circulated by Obama officials and a staffer who worked with Trump-foe, Sen. John McCain. In effect, Brennan launched the whole charade.”

Meanwhile, as L. Brent Bozell and Tim Graham point out, “We’re at a point where we should be asking what Obama’s top intelligence hacks, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and then-CIA Director John Brennan, were cooking in 2016. But guess what. CNN hired Clapper, and NBC News hired Brennan. Now they are paid by the networks to tell the folks at home that Trump is nutty for insisting they did anything nefarious.”

Is Brennan in hot water? He should be.
