A Master Manipulator at Work

President Trump's enemies, who are found in abundance
in both major political parties, have been trying ever since
not his inauguration but his election to oust him, by hook
or by crook. They have been joined in their nefarious efforts
by The Deep State, defined as inclusive of the intelligence
community --- the FBI and the CIA. We have seen the testi-
mony of Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Peter Strzok
claiming to be without bias against the president but still
refers to him as "disgusting" and "horrible", he of the
correspondence with Lisa Page, an attorney with the FBI and
Strzok's paramour in which he said that they would stop
Trump from being elected. Former FBI Director James Comey,
whom President Trump had fired for the partisan overtones in
his work in that capacity, had recently urged Americans on
Twitter that it was their duty to vote Democratic in this
year's mid-term election.

But the bigger menace in all this is former Central Intelligence
Agency Director John Brennan, President Obama's appointee
to the post. On Twitter as well, Brennan tweeted that President
Trump's press conference in Helsinki was "nothing short of
treasonous," and that the president was guilty of "venality,
moral turpitude and political corruption." Such heated partisan-
ship is why his role in the 2016 Spy Scandal merits the closest
scrutiny. It must also be noted that prior to his nomination as
CIA director Brennan was a close advisor to Obama.

At a House Intelligence Committee hearing in May 2017,
Brennan stated that he became "aware of intelligence and
information about contacts between Russian officials and
U.S. persons." Brennan also claimed credit for launching
the Trump investigation. As to the veracity of his claim
your scrutinizing Peasant is unable to say, but he certainly
has shown himself to be an Obama-Clinton minion.

Brennan also had a major role in forming the Russian
narrative --- the story that had Russia interfered in the
2016 presidential election intending to assist candidate
Trump against his Democrat challenger, Hillary Clinton.
This was kneaded into the Trump - collusion narrative
which soon followed. But Brennan couldn't get the FBI
to buy what he was selling; the bureau believed that
Russian cyberattacks were aimed at playing havoc with
the U.S. political system in general, not at benefitting
candidate Trump. Since he couldn't get the FBI or his
own agency the CIA to back him up, Brennan couldn't
go public with his overall narrative, so he went to Sen.
Harry Reid, the then-Senate Minority leader, the top
Democrat in that chamber. In a subsequent briefing,
he told Reid that Russia was attempting to help
Donald Trump win the presidency and that Trump's
advisors were in collusion with the Russians (by the
by, in the two years since there is STILL no public
evidence that has been discovered which could
support this serious accusation).

A few days after the meeting between Brennan and Reid,
the latter wrote a letter to FBI chief Comey, which
immediately became public. Reid echoed Brennan's
story, claiming that evidence of a direct tie between
Russia and the Trump campaign continued to amass.
Sen. Reid's letter was the first official salvo of the
collusion narrative being fired into the open. 
Comey then announced in October that the FBI had
reopened their investigation into the Republican
candidate, but the timing may well have affected
the election in a negative, rather than a positive way
for Democrat Hillary Clinton, and Clinton supporters
maintain this is indeed the case. However, Trump's
supporters claim that the publicizing of the collusion
narrative was harmful to their candidate and could
have cost him the election.

And through it all, at its center was partisan politics
and John Brennan. And he had the unmitigated gall
to accuse President Trump of treason.

There had better be an even larger investigation con-
ducted into this sordid affair, resulting in some people
going to prison. And John Brennan had damn well better
be one of them.
