If you&#8217;re a good prosecutor you look at the facts in the Trump case, and the Page case, the Flynn case. There&#8217;s only one conclusion you can come to; none of this makes any sense. None of these people were evil. None of them.\u00a0<strong>They were framed<\/strong>, and the whole process was playing out, and you knew it on July 5th 2016, when James Comey announced &#8211; usurping the functions of the Attorney General, that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case against Hillary Clinton.\u00a0<strong>That was ludicrous! She destroyed 30,000 emails that were under subpoena. If you or I did that, we would be in prison today<\/strong>. She got a break because she was Hillary Clinton, and James Comey was trying to kiss her fanny because he wanted something from her when she became president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>All of these people who watched that news conference and didn&#8217;t think that it was a disgrace for the FBI. And then subsequently, watched all this stuff involving Trump and Page and Papadopoulos and Michael Flynn &#8211; and couldn&#8217;t see that the corrupt investigative process of the FBI and the DOJ was\u00a0<strong>basically being used to conduct a coup d&#8217;\u00e9tat<\/strong>. I mean you have to be an idiot. Any first year assistant US attorney would look at all these facts and say &#8216;there&#8217;s a coup underway. There&#8217;s a conspiracy.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But for those of us thought that, the Washington Post, the New York Times. We were &#8216;conspiracy theorists.&#8217; You know what? Pretty damn good theory, it appears today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>To what extent is the CIA involved in this?<\/strong>&#8221; asked Hines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Well there&#8217;s no doubt that John Brennan was the primogenitor of the entire counterintelligence investigation,<\/strong>&#8221; replied diGenova. &#8220;It was John Brennan who went to James Comey and basically pummeled him into starting a counterintelligence investigation against Trump. Brennan&#8217;s at the heart of this. He went around the world. He enlisted the help of foreign intelligence services. He&#8217;s responsible for Joseph Mifsud and other people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>People do not have even the beginning of an understanding of the role that John Brennan played in this<\/strong>. He is a monstrously important person, and I underscore monstrously important person. He has done more damage to the Central Intelligence Agency &#8211; it&#8217;s equal to what James Comey has done to the FBI. It&#8217;s pretty clear that James Comey will go down in history as the single worst FBI director in history, regardless of how Mr. Durham treats him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He precipitated it. He caused it. He encouraged it, and he is responsible for it at a minimum. He and John Brennan are the\u00a0<strong>coup\u00a0<\/strong><strong>leaders<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DiGenova: Comey and Brennan were \u2018coup leaders\u2019\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Oea0Dz0w4U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/digenova-comey-and-brennan-were-coup-leaders\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/digenova-comey-and-brennan-were-coup-leaders<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DiGenova: Comey And Brennan Were &#8216;Coup Leaders&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3043\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
