However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report\u2019s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Durham has greater investigatory powers with broader reach than the IG who is only looking at internal issues within the Justice Department. Durham is looking at crimes, can impanel a grand jury and has subpoena power.<\/p>\n<p>As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2019\/11\/01\/report-durham-knows-crimes-pretty-good-idea-people-behind\/\">reported last month:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Prior reports have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2019\/10\/23\/heres-look-new-evidence-heating-durham-investigation-hes-interested-question-clapper-brennan\/\">indicated<\/a> that the nature of the investigation changed when Attorney General Bill Barr and Durham went to Rome and spoke to Italian intelligence. The Italian Prime Minister confirmed the event. It was after that, reports indicated Durham was \u201cvery interested\u201d in questioning both former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Durham\u2019s statements make it clear he doesn\u2019t think that the investigation started as the IG claimed in July 2016.<\/p>\n<p>So stock up on the popcorn, because it sure sounds like he\u2019s got something or he wouldn\u2019t be making the definitive statement he did.<\/p>\n<p>HT: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitchy.com\/brettt-3136\/2019\/12\/09\/i-will-attend-your-trial-and-sentencing-cia-alumnus-responds-to-john-brennans-tweet\/\">Twitchy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2019\/12\/10\/former-cia-operative-calls-out-john-brennan-i-will-attend-your-trial-and-sentencing.-that-day-is-coming\">https:\/\/www.redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2019\/12\/10\/former-cia-operative-calls-out-john-brennan-i-will-attend-your-trial-and-sentencing.-that-day-is-coming<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former CIA Operative Calls Out John Brennan: \u2018I Will Attend Your Trial and Sentencing.
