Okay, so here is a threadly reminder of why Brennan and the CIA are responsible for practically everything.

This will cover information I've already covered but it's always good to have a reminder.

In the first week of August 2016, Brennan contacted Avril Haines via telephone as he had received intelligence about Putin.

The intelligence was from a source that Brennan had used which he intentionally kept out of the Presidential Daily Brief. It was a report that Putin had directly ordered a cyber campaign to disrupt the US presidential race to help Trump.

The source is a former senior Russian official, who was relocated to Washington under United States Government protection using his real name.

"Two former FBI officials told NBC news they believe he is the source..."

The move of the intelligence source happened soon after the May 2017 meeting between Trump and Lavrov, the classified information meeting.

This was the same time that Trump fired Comey, which led the FBI opening an investigation into him.

There is a department with the Central Intelligence Agency known as the Counterintelligence Mission Center.

This department helped trigger the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

The intelligence source was also cultivated by the Central Intelligence Agency for years.

As recently established, when Crossfire Hurricane opened on July 31, 2016, the FBI did not know which suspects to investigate.

On August 10, cases were opened into Page, Papadopoulous and Manafort.

On August 16, a case was opened into Flynn.

The information in the envelope - the "CIA breakthrough" - happened at a time where Trump had secured the GOP nomination.

The nomination was secured on July 19, 2016.

"... a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A...."

It should also be noted that the Counterintelligence Mission Center is being looked into by John Durham as part of his investigation.

With the envelope received, the Deputies Meetings / Principals Meetings commenced, with zero video of the Situation Room allowed and the same secrecy as the raid on Osama Bin Laden.

The meetings were attended by Rice, Monaco, Haines, Brennan, Clapper, Comey and Lynch at first.

During one of these meetings, Comey informed the attendees about an investigation into Russian collusion with four members of the Trump campaign to Obama.

This would take place after August 21, as Obama was at Martha's Vineyard, and Flynn's investigation was opened August 16.

The secret intelligence also caused John Brennan to form a secret task force at CIA headquarters, which featured analysts and officers from the CIA, the NSA and the FBI.

This secret task force at the CIA headquarters also included the Crossfire Hurricane team.

This was because Brennan had provided information mid-August to Comey showing that the Russian Government was behind "an attack on the 2016 election".

nytimes.com/2018/05/16/us/…

The information may have been received before August 25, 2016, as Brennan informed Harry Reid during a secret Gang of Eight telephone briefing that the Russian Government was working to assist Trump in winning the election through cyber attacks.

nytimes.com/2017/04/06/us/…

Brennan's secret task force also featured six different units working for him:

DOMESTIC:

* The FBI
* The Treasury Department
* The Department of Justice

FOREIGN:

* The CIA
* The ODNI
* The NSA

As part of this effort, in October 2016, a Deputies Meeting was held in the event Trump lost the election to push for congressional Republicans, former presidents, former Cabinet-level officials to back up the intelligence community conclusions: that Russia helped Trump.

The Intelligence Community Assessment also mentions that the CIA and the FBI - not the NSA - have "high confidence" in the judgement that Putin ordered an influence campaign in the 2016 election to help Trump and hurt Hillary.

As recently revealed, Michael Rogers, former NSA director, has been assisting John Durham's investigation into the origins of Crossfire Hurricane.

Practically every single action (Russian sanctions, Obama's staredown with Putin, the Oval Office meeting with McConnell, Pelosi, Reid and Ryan, the multiple agency investigations, the Situation Room meetings, the ICA, the MSM anti-Trump campaign) can be placed on this source.

"There was intelligence that the Russian intelligence services were actively involved in this effort..."

"And so, therefore, I felt as though the FBI investigation was certainly well founded and needed to look into those issues." - John Brennan

And on this note, when Flynn's communications were acquired through the Kislyak FISA, Brennan's secret 6 agency working group investigated them after January 20, 2017.

Also, as a reminder, the Crossfire Hurricane team had its own funding stream within the FBI after being designated as a "major case" by Comey.

This included a secured room, the "war room", in the FBI headquarters, which needed clearance to enter.

When Brennan handed over the intelligence to Comey in mid-August 2016, which "crystallised" the FBI's thought process (around the time August 10 investigations and August 16 investigation was opened), Brennan and Comey started having "many" conversations throughout the summer.

There is literally zero chance that Brennan and Comey knew nothing. They spoke about it constantly. They were completely in league with each other. The Situation Room attendees were aware of it. The Russian source is responsible for all of it, long nurtured by the CIA.

The end.
