Barr’s investigators should focus on John Brennan and Gina Haspel.
Crossfire Hurricane” — the melodramatic code name for the FBI/CIA spy operation on candidate Trump and his early presidency — was run for the FBI by then-FBI Director James Comey, his deputy Andrew McCabe, Special Agent Peter Strzok, and a few others.
Then-CIA director John Brennan ran it for the CIA. Brennan had to have help, but who was it? A lot of evidence points to the CIA’s then-chief of station in London in 2016-2017, and now the Director of Central Intelligence, Gina Haspel...........
............Barr said that since he became attorney general he had been asking why the counter-intelligence investigation was begun and hasn’t yet gotten a satisfactory answer..........Durham will face the most determined stonewalling by the CIA on all of this. Both Haspel and Brennan have a lot to lose, so she will be fighting tooth and nail against any of Durham’s requests for documents and testimony. Durham, and Barr, will have to force the issue..........Barr and Durham have an enormous — and enormously important — task before them. They should not hesitate to go to the president whenever they are stonewalled by the CIA or FBI. His executive order is just the beginning of his necessary involvement in their investigation.............To Read More....
My Take - The fact of the matter is the CIA and the FBI no longer have the right to withhold or redact any document requested by Barr and his investigators. The President of the United states has ordered them to turn over just about anything these investigators want.
Donald Trump is the President of the United States, that makes him the nation's chief executive and the CIA and the FBI answer to him. If they continue down this resistant path they're going to be fired, and if the President of the United States has to go directly to CIA and FBI headquarters to demand the documents they want - a lot of people are going to be fired and some may end up in jail.
We need to get this. The President of the United States can see any and every classified document in the United States, in it's unredacted form. He also can declassify any document classified by any subordinate in the federal government. That's the way it works. He's the boss!!!!!
The intelligence community has been corrupted so badly they seem to have forgotten that. The time has now come for them to start remembering things correctly....or else!
And I disagree with Barr. This is treason, even if it fails to meet the legal definition of treason.

Dems Go after Gina Haspel with the “Torture” Smear
The real background of Trump's CIA pick.
March 22, 2018 Bruce Thornton 4
Gina Haspel, Trump’s pick to succeed Mike Pompeo as head of the CIA, is a thirty-year veteran of the agency, one well respected by intelligence professionals from both parties. If confirmed, she will be the first woman to run our most important security agency. But despite this feminist victory, the Dems are likely to muddy the waters at her confirmation hearings by smearing her with allegations she oversaw “torture” at a black site in Thailand in 2002. Typical of what we can expect is the New York Times editorial titled, “Having a Torturer Lead the CIA,” even as the charge about the black site was shown to be untrue.
Once again, the party bereft of ideas and principle resorts to emotional obfuscation and accusation to advance their ideological prejudices. So, once again, it is necessary to lay out the facts and partisan hypocrisy behind the “torture” charge that has damaged our ability to gather the intelligence necessary to defend our safety and security.
Start with the imprecise or even willfully distorted language that always perfumes unsavory ideologies. In everyday use, “torture” can mean anything from a visit to the dentist to the sadistic mayhem of brutal regimes like Iran or North Korea. As a result, indiscriminate, lurid connotations and emotions attend the use of a word like “torture,” which of course is what makes it so useful for partisan smears.........To Read More....
