Sounds like they are starting to cover their tracks.Quote:
The warning that a former top Australian diplomat provided to the U.S. Embassy, which is said to have been the basis for the FBI to initiate its Trump-Russia investigation, was relayed to the United States without prior approval from Australia's government, according to a new book.
Alexander Downer, the former Australian high commissioner to the United Kingdom, did not have permission from the Australian government when he alerted the U.S. Embassy in London in July 2016 about a conversation about Russian "dirt" that he had earlier that year with President Trump's campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos. The new claim was made by former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in his memoir, A Bigger Picture, according to excerpts from the Sydney Morning Herald.

The former station chief said that Brennan's behavior related to the Russia collusion narrative was not much different than what he witnessed during his time serving under him at the CIA, the country's top spy agency.
"There were policies he supported, whether it was the policy in Syria or Iran. And when you told him something that would force him to challenge his assumptions, his response was just to get mad at you and not really want to hear what you have to say," Hoffman said.
Hoffman called Brennan's public behavior since leaving his CIA post an "extraordinary dereliction of duty."
He accuses the former director of misleading the American people and members of Congress by publicly peddling an unsubstantiated narrative about Trump's involvement with the Russian government, as related to the 2016 White House race and investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
"If he had concerns about President Trump, then go tell you know, Bob Mueller about it. But you don't need to speak up publicly about stuff that isn't even true on MSNBC," Hoffman said.
The former CIA official took specific offense with Brennan pushing an unconfirmed narrative to a viewing audience that would believe what he had to say because of his elevated position in the intelligence community.
"I think viewers would have assumed that because Brennan was director of the CIA, he would know something that they don't and they probably believed him," Hoffman said. "I don't even know why he's still given the opportunity to be on air, after all of that."
It would not surprise me. Schiff needs to spend more time at Ed Buck's West Hollywood home.Quote:

I apologize, I could only make it through a few of these dimwit's comments. Did any of these ignorant hacks actually cite any real evidence from any source?ruddyduck said:
wow.

So this may have already been answered so SAIP but how does a Repub lead committee come to this stupid "Russia did interfere" conclusion after all we know now.
Yep, and I married into a family that is exactly that dumb (not my wife, she's good). And more than enough to cancel our Trump votes....if they actually vote, that is.ruddyduck said:
the sad part is it doesn't matter. people will swallow that bs hook, line and sinker.

The article said he can't sell weapons for four years, which will be over in October. However, it does have this comment:Sarge 91 said:Well, well, well....richardag said:The faces of true evil.Secolobo said:

"Our position from the outset has been that this case never should have been brought and we're glad it's over," said Jean-Jacques Cabou, a Perkins Coie partner serving as court-appointed defense counsel in the case. "Mr Turi didn't break the law.We're very glad the charges are being dismissed
Quote:
"Republicans hold Clinton responsible for mishandling the circumstances around that attack. And Stryk said that Turi was now weighing book and movie deals to tell his story, and to weigh in on the Benghazi attack"
Assuming Turi is still alive, I've never heard anything else from him or his attorney. He may have been given an "offer he can't refuse". I doubt anyone in DC is interested in this, but even an article would make for good reading.
Stuff happens to (supposed) leaders with good intentions, and I'm always willing to attempt to find out the whole story before making up my mind,, but the Benghazi disaster was almost certainly willful knowing who was involved. I just have a VERY difficult time knowing they're nine children growing up without their dads due to either extremely poor planning, or really good planning to get our ambassador murdered (likely).
Would love to see Comey get the kind of public treatment Petraeus and Flynn received. Same goes for Brennan.Line Ate Member said:Luckily, from all stories surrounding Durham, it won't matter if they get out in front of it.

More gravely, they said that CIA Director Brennan suppressed facts or analysis that showed why it was not in Russia's interests to support Trump and why Putin stood to benefit from Hillary Clinton's election. They also told me that Brennan suppressed that intelligence over the objections of CIA analysts.
House Intelligence Committee staff told me that after an exhaustive investigation reviewing intelligence and interviewing intelligence officers, they found that Brennan suppressed high-quality intelligence suggesting that Putin actually wanted the more predictable and malleable Clinton to win the 2016 election.
HRC was an easy mark and just as easily bribed when she wasn't so naive. She would have been a continuation of the accommodationist policies of Obama.Secolobo said:
