Commentary, newsmaker interviews and panel discussions. Laws that have been violated here. Not only did comey and his confederates use what they knew was a fact document, the dossier, it was being pushed by the overs, and Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson, they knew it was phony but they used it any way as an excuse to try to destroy trump, damage his candidacy, remove him from office after elected. In so doing they violated fbi regulations and importantly they perpetrated a fraud on the fisa court. Thats abuse of power, which is a felony. Its also perjury, because they swore for the veracity of the document when they presented if to the court and coverup since then is Obstruction Of Justice. There are a variety of crimes.

But the problem is that its not just our own citizens who are listening john brennan, there are foreign governments and spies feelings stealing secrets on our behalf who are going to believe that john brennan and something that we dont earn their trust in our government is going to be degraded, our National Security will be impacted negatively. The second point i would make quickly is that those who signed this letter might question whether they want to be tethered to john brennan, who is really the weak link in this chain here.

The mueller campaign, sara makes a great point and the point is there is nobody looking at this any way. Are we just engaging in an unnecessary effort . No, you know this is how cover ups work. The truth is slow to emerge. It takes a long time to do it. We know enough now that it was a says pool of corruption. Christopher steele who fabricated the dossier that drove the russia hoax, the collusion narrative, this is a guy who admitted in court documents, i dug them up out of a British Court proceeding, i put it in the book, he basically said that his document wasnt worth the paper it was written on. It was written on. Right. He said its unverifiable. Principally because it was based on Anonymous Sources and triple and quad drup hearsay. The fbi knew this. They didnt care.
