U.S. Attorney John Durham, tasked to look into the origins of the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, is now “investigating CIA resistance to sharing Russian secrets,” according to a Feb. 13 report in The New York Times.
According to the article, “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.”
Additionally, Durham is reportedly looking into “whether and how information from foreign governments or the C.I.A. played any role in stoking suspicions at the F.B.I. about Trump campaign links to Russia.”
It had previously been reported that Durham was expected to seek an interview with Brennan as well as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, following an expansion of his investigation.

Brennan is going to prison. IMO
That Commie/Muslim/Globalist/America Hater bastard should be the first up the gallows steps.
Hell, we waited almost 3 years for Mueller, let's hope this is less time and had the results that the investigation deserves to uncover!
This is proof positive that Durham's investigation has found NOTHING and has no charges to file on anyone. Now he's grasping at straws because everything else has failed.
Incidentally, as for wanting to talk to Brennan - he said on TV last night that he'd sit down with Durham any where, any time. He has nothing to hide.
But why all these people are prepared to sacrifice their professional careers and reputations, and violate their oaths of office on the alter of Trump's ego is beyond me.
Lying sack of shit!...
You LIE. even when the headlines say you lie!!
Mr. Horowitz had found that the F.B.I.
acted appropriately in opening the inquiry in 2016 into whether the Trump campaign wittingly or unwittingly helped Russia influence the election in Donald J. Trump’s favor. In response,
Mr. Durham, whose report is not expected to be complete for months, released a caveat-laden rebuttal: “Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the inspector general that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the F.B.I. case was opened.”
Yes, that's what Durham has said he believed, but he didn't say he had evidence to prove it. Nor has he provided any evidence to prove. This is the problem when Republicans investigate their "enemies". They start with the conclusion, and then search for evidence to support it. And when they fail to find the evidence they accuse others of covering it up.
Sensible people wait until someone does something stupid, like enthusictically embrace assistance from the Russian government in an election campaign, and invite them to do more, or brag about having access to Hillary's stolen emails in a public bar in front of a bunch of foreign embassy staffers, and say "What the hell is going on here?" and question such behaviour.
And those questions are reasonable. The FBI didn't publicize the investigation, like they did with Hillary's emails, and Mueller did say that Trump didn't criminally conspire with the Russians, but only because the Russians considered the campaign to be too chaotic and utterly incapable of not getting caught and didn't want to create any kind of record of their dealings with these clowns. That's hardly a ringing endorsement of the Trump Campaign's behaviour.
But the campaign was run by a ragtag bunch of crooks (Manafort), liars (all of them), and opportunists (Page, Guliani) and star fuckers (Papadopolous), that many of them committed multiple felonies trying to cover up this non-conspiracy, and a whole range of Trumpian crimes were uncovered in the investigation.
This is how a real crime family operates. The Clintons and most Democrats understand that in Washington, someone is always watching, always listening, and you keep your nose clean or the other side is going to be launching investigations.
But Republican Administrations since Nixon, keep flouting the law and getting caught violated the Constitution, profitting off the taxpayers, all while claiming that they're the moral party, and the Democrats are corrupt.
After Watergate, after Iran Contra, W's wars of profit, after everything that Trump has done since before the election. The Republican Party put yet another criminal into the White House and they refuse to hold him accountable.
So the American voters will. In Spades.
