Breccan Thies of the Federalist explores the legal peril for two Obama-era intelligence leaders.
There is a lot of talk about whether former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper are protected by a statute of limitations in their roles in fabricating the Russia hoax.
But, as current CIA director John Ratcliffe pointed out, “The statute of limitations doesn’t start to run until the last act in the furtherance of that conspiracy,” and the two Russia hoaxers just restarted the clock on July 30, when they decided to pen an op-ed in The New York Times filled with even more lies in an apparent cover-up.
As The Federalist reported, the lie that then-candidate Donald Trump was Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “preferred” White House occupant was largely built on a six-word sentence fragment that had numerous possible interpretations and was lifted from an unreliable source.
That did not matter to Brennan or Clapper. The Obama administration had to get Trump, so they manufactured a lie that would effectively steal a fully operational presidency from the American people.
“There was no peaceful transfer of power in 2017,” as The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood wrote, because Clapper, Brennan, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey, and apparently Obama himself, were hellbent on using the American intelligence apparatus to backfill validity into fake Hillary Clinton campaign opposition research.
But it was not just dirty tricks in order to rig an election. The hoax, peddled dutifully by the corrupt co-conspirators in the corporate media for years, hung like an albatross over Trump’s first term, shredding the right of Americans to have the president for whom they voted.
On Wednesday, Brennan and Clapper once again tried to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans by claiming that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, actually their scheme was totally above board.
