>The months-old Brennan investigation is one of several criminal probes the Justice Department has opened over the last year against President Donald Trump’s perceived adversaries. It centers on one of the Republican president’s chief grievances — a U.S. intelligence community finding that Russia interfered on his behalf during his successful 2016 presidential campaign. We don't know what we're doing, do we?

Could the defense back that finding up with unclassified information? That might not be the most sensible thing for the administration to run through a court leading up to the midterm.

They can just point to the Senate Intelligence Report that is public and also showed that the Russians interfered to help Trump.

“We” do, but this admin most assuredly does not.

They may appear incompetent, but they are merely looking to intimidate the accused and to generate a narrative that enrages Fox News and Newsmax viewers. That's the goal here.

I think it's a bit of both.

Trump gives them what the case should be and they have to execute a flawed case. It's all performative because there's no reality behind it.

Outrage = Engagement. I’ll bet the other side can’t employ the same tactics because the audience has actual brains.

They were never going to prosecute because the point was to toss red meat at their dumb as bricks base that will never keep up with what's happening after the initial filing. It's just performative, it's always a performance. Kash Patel's lawsuit against the Atlantic, also performative. The whole administration is smoke and mirrors.

Did they just figure out that if people testify, they can tell the truth?

Yes. But then they forgot five minutes later. That’s why it keeps happening.

And soon after reading, this article, everyone will be fired, and the subpoenas will be re-issued

Hmm, former Director of CIA? Ya wonder if maybe he suggested that certain papers and information could be made available to the world press if they didn't put a sock in it? Not an organization I'd care to have a grudge against me.

It's more likely the a sophisticated Russian intellugence operation that the trump campaign cooperated with successfully installed him into the White House in 2016.
