F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen

a reply to: soberbacchus

Looks like Brennan got caught lying once again. He is known to have traveled to Russia to deal with the dossier in March of 2016. However in his testimony / interviews he claims he knew nothing about the dossier until Dec 2016.

Why is it you don't provide links for this stuff?

What is crazy about your claim is that the Dossier was not written yet in March 2016 when you claim Brennan went to Russia to investigate it?

Did John Brennan Perjure Himself Over Steele Dossier? by Robert Barnes | 9:18 pm, February 22nd, 2018

New evidence has come to light leading me to believe, that John Brennan, the former CIA chief, should be closely examined to determine whether he perjured himself when speaking to Congress about his knowledge surrounding the now infamous Steele Dossier. At the very least, new reports raise some very serious questions about whether he was less than truthful when he was under oath.

According to an exclusive report in Real Clear Investigations, “several Capitol Hill sources say Brennan, a fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up the dossier to Democratic leaders, as well as the press, during the campaign. They say he also fed allegations about Trump-Russia contacts directly to the FBI, while pressuring the bureau to conduct an investigation of several Trump campaign figures starting in the summer of 2016.”

The problem? Brennan denied knowing anything about the dossier months later in front of Congress, and made those denials under oath and under the promise of the penalty of perjury should he be caught lying again. Nunes is reportedly also investigating whether Brennan perjured himself.

Other investigative journalists at Tablet Magazine have referred to Brennan’s denial as making “no sense” given the known facts about Brennan discussed the details of the dossier across D.C. during the election.

Developing: Obama CIA Chief John Brennan Made Secret Visit to Russia Around Same Time as Fusion GPS Produced anti-Trump Memos Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft April 20, 2018

According to a report earlier this month former Senate Minority leader Harry Reid believed Brennan was using him in order to publicize pretend links between Trump campaign associates and the Russian government.

The Russian papers reported on the visit at the time.

The Moscow Times reported on the trip on March 28,2016:

John Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), made a secret visit to Moscow in March, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov. The visit, he said, had nothing to do with Russia’s decision two weeks ago to begin withdrawing from Syria.

“It’s no secret that Brennan was here,” Syromolotov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying Monday. “But he didn’t visit the Foreign Ministry. I know for sure that he met with the Federal Security Service (the successor agency to the Soviet KGB), and someone else.”

It wasn’t clear why Brennan visited Moscow, but the trip appears to have coincided with President Vladimir Putin’s surprise March 14 announcement that Russia’s combat operation in Syria was ending, and Moscow would soon withdraw a portion of its forces from the country after conducting 167 air strikes.

?????

You claim Brennan went to Moscow in March 2016, which is neither here nor there since it is not proven and if he did, would not be unusual for a CIA Director.

But let's say he did. You claim he went there to investigate the Trump Dossier? In March 2016??

The Dossier intelligence is dated and gathered in June, July, August, September, October and December 2016.

How does that time travel logic work?

Brennan lied.

I suspect that a trip to Moscow would be very unusual, if not outright unthinkable, but IANAS (I Am Not A Spook).

I find no evidence that he went to Moscow in March 2016 or any other time (other than the report in exactly ONE 100% unreliable Russian propaganda sheet). It doesn't make any difference anyway, the 'warning' Brennan gave to the Russians DID NOT occur in March and it WAS NOT in person.

It occurred in August and it was a telephone call.

Reuters: Former CIA chief says he warned Moscow over election hacking

Brennan said he believed he was the first U.S. official to raise the matter of election interference with the Russians, citing a phone conversation he had on Aug. 4 last year with FSB head Alexander Bortnikov.

Virtually every CIA director has visited Moscow since the end of the cold war.
Just a few quick Google examples.

Sure, but the Intelligence Communities conclusions about election interference were separate and before the Dossier.

Interesting you bring up the Intelligence community conclusions. They have produced zero evidence in over a year since producing their vague document where the NSA could only provide moderate confidence. I was hoping they'd follow up their joke of a document detailing zero evidence (and even referencing RT talking about Obama in 2012 as 'evidence') with something more substantial, but their lack of follow up kind of underlines the NSA position - which translates to 'we don't know'.

They have presented a tonnage of evidence, enough so that Trump himself has admitted that Russia interfered with 2016 election.

You seem disconnected from reality on the issue.

Really? I have seen the IC present a bunch of assurances but have not seen them provide actual evidence to support the claim.

Nobody asked what you have seen?
The IC Community has shown enough evidence that even the Denier in Chief was forced to admit Russia interfered int he 2016 election. The fact they didn't share classified sources and methods with XCathider on ATS, makes that no less true.

Apart from that, the Special Counsel in it's indictments publicly shared page after page of specifics to bookend what they IC community shared publicly.

You have to be full on ideo-blind not to be able to simply follow or read the evidence.

a reply to: soberbacchus

Maybe he met with the FSB to encourage them to reach out to the Trump campaign, which would dovetail with the reports he suddenly used Harry Reid and others to push the Russia narrative directly to the FBI a few months later. *insert dramatic music*



Or the trip was unrelated, and then later he pushed his story and lied about it repeatedly under oath. *shrug*

Then provide the evidence.
The Grizzly Steppe report was full of opinion and conjecture with zero evidence.
That was over a year ago.

Then post an article detailing the evidence.

Finally is it even remotely possible for you to engage in conversation without resorting to childish behavior? My name is spelled out and is included when you quoted for a response.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The judge in Cohens case granted their motion to appoint a special master to review documents instead of allowing the FBI/DOJ "taint team" to do it.

A federal judge just sided with Michael Cohen on the biggest issue in his case — and added in another wild card

NEW YORK — A federal judge on Thursday sided with President Donald Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen on most significant issue in his case — and in doing so added another wild card to the proceedings.

US District Court Judge Kimba Wood said she would appoint a special master in Cohen's case to initially review documents seized during the FBI's raids on Cohen's home, office, and hotel room. The special master will determine whether something falls under protected attorney-client privilege and what prosecutors could use against Cohen.

Since it is not a word auto correct is not to blame.

You are.

Thank you for proving my point.

A damning indictment of Obama. They knew since 2014 that Russia was trying to interfere in the US elections and did nothing to stop it. It also vindicates Trump, again, by demonstrating this all occurred before Trump was even a declared candidate.
