[RedState] An April 1st piece, the Washington Examiner seems to hint at two people who are under close scrutiny by U.S. Attorney John Durham as he closes in on completing his assessment of the predicate for the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign.Those two people include former CIA Head John Brennan and FBI "confidential human source" (read: informant) Stefan Halper, who has spent the last several years as an academic at Cambridge University.
According to Sidney Powell, attorney for Ret. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who is currently appealing his case that he lied to investigators, her client was "set up" because he was preparing to audit the intelligence community as national security advisor to President Donald Trump before he was charged.
Speaking to the the Vicki McKenna Show on 1310 WIBA Madison on Tuesday, Powell said her client "threatened to expose wrongdoing by top intelligence officials in the Obama administration."
"He was going to audit the intel agencies because he knew about the billions Brennan and company were running off books," Powell said, referring to former CIA Director John Brennan.
The Examiner compares Powell’s statements to those made by investigative journalist Lee Smith last November when he told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that he hoped Flynn’s reputation could be saved and that he could ultimately get back to the work he had undertaken to expose the corruption of officials in the Obama administration.
