Brennan and Clapper Don’t Have A Statute Of Limitations Defense Because They’re Continuing The Conspiracy

There is a lot of talk about whether former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper are protected by a statute of limitations in their roles in fabricating the Russia hoax.
But, as current CIA director John Ratcliffe pointed out, “The statute of limitations doesn’t start to run until the last act in the furtherance of that conspiracy,” and the two Russia hoaxers just restarted the clock on July 30, when they decided to pen an op-ed in The New York Times filled with even more lies in an apparent cover-up.
As The Federalist reported, the lie that then-candidate Donald Trump was Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “preferred” White House occupant was largely built on a six-word sentence fragment that had numerous possible interpretations and was lifted from an unreliable source.
That did not matter to Brennan or Clapper. The Obama administration had to get Trump, so they manufactured a lie that would effectively steal a fully operational presidency from the American people.
“There was no peaceful transfer of power in 2017,” as The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood wrote, because Clapper, Brennan, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey, and apparently Obama himself, were hellbent on using the American intelligence apparatus to backfill validity into fake Hillary Clinton campaign opposition research.
