... despite all that our intelligence services know about Trump and Russia?
I wish they could start going after Congress to scare the bejesus out of them and get them to start taking action to bring the Trump-Russia agenda to a halt.

The CIA had access to info gathered overseas, so Brennan knows the truth about the dossier.

If Russia keeps Dems from taking the House this January then measures need to be taken by patriots who know detailed facts about Congress. In other words we need real heat to make something happen or it's bye-bye America.

(6,075 posts)...that the Republican leadership is in cahoots with the Russians is unknown, but we can see clearly that they are by their actions.

(46,166 posts)Years after his death we learned about what power J Edgar Hoover held over many public officials. He literally "had the goods". It appears to me that Brennan is waving a red flag at Trump and informing him publicly what the services learned about how Russia operates and that Trump became their puppet.
If Brennan or his colleagues would hint at facts half as damaging against Trump's puppets in Congress things could change very fast.

(12,344 posts)But I think the level of detail in Mueller's indictments is meant to demonstrate that he knows everything. If he can get the names and unit numbers of Russian spies and details about money transfers in Russian banks, any compromised American must be really nervous right now.
