Flynn was going to audit Brennan's off the books spending

Red States:

Word broke nationally Tuesday that former Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan had suppressed evidence that Vladimir Putin was more interested in a Hillary Clinton win in 2016 than a Donald Trump win. My colleague Nick Arama covered the rumblings of that story in late April.

Brennan, in fact, seems to the be the big fish under U.S. Attorney John Durham’s microscope, but not just because of the latest news about suppressing Putin’s preferences. Sidney Powell, the formidable attorney responsible for helping Ret. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn successfully battle the drummed-up charges against him, has very specifically said Brennan has his fingerprints all over the smearing of her client because Flynn had a keen interest in auditing the intelligence community and ferreting out corruption.

But it’s the corruption itself that’s stunning. In early April, Powell told the Vicki McKenna Show that the disgraced intel leader and others in the intelligence community were targeting Flynn over billions of taxpayer dollars that he knew were not being properly accounted for.

“Powell, who took over Flynn’s defense last summer, told the Vicki McKenna Show on 1310 WIBA Madison on Tuesday that her client was ‘totally set up’ because he threatened to expose wrongdoing by top intelligence officials in the Obama administration,” the Washington Examiner reported Wednesday.

“He was going to audit the intel agencies because he knew about the billions [former Obama era CIA Director John] Brennan and company were running off books,” she said.

The Washington Examiner notes Powell did not give evidence for her remarks on the radio show, but that she appeared to be echoing the belief of investigative journalist Lee Smith, who said something similar several months prior in an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.

“In addition to Gen. Flynn’s name being cleared, I hope that his initiative to get to the bottom of what these people were doing — to audit the intelligence community … that’s something else we need to look at again,” Smith said. “As well, his initiative to clean out the deep state.”

They also discussed Stefan Halper, an academic who was given high-dollar Pentagon contracts to study Russia and China. Halper is also reported to be an FBI informant who had conversations with Trump campaign aides and is under scrutiny by U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the Russia investigation.

“There’s no telling how many billions of taxpayer dollars they’re running off books for the different intel agencies … and, of course, we see evidence of that … with what was paid to Stefan Halper for his shenanigans. It just goes on and on,” Powell alleged at the time.

Smith authored The Plot Against the President, a book that explores in detail the Russia collusion investigation into the Trump campaign, its origins, and the players involved.

Powell has also insisted the scheme to smear Flynn was cooked up at a meeting with President Obama in the White House attended by Brennan, then-FBI Director Jim Comey, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, as well as former Vice President Joe Biden and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

There is more.

The corruption in the Obama administration appears to run deep.  The attacks on Flynn appear to be part of a massive cover up operation that is blowing up in their face at this point.
