The CIA Is Running Scared

In a New York Times article entitled "Justice Department Seeks to Question CIA in its Own Russia Investigation," the IC makes clear its fear of the results of Barr's investigation of their spy operation on candidate Trump in 2016 that continued through his early presidency.

From the Times report, we can easily deduce the fact that those who ran the spy op - including CIA Director Gina Haspel - are running scared from the Durham investigation.

The reason the CIA's "Analytical work" is being subjected to a federal prosecutor's scrutiny is that there is a lot of evidence of criminal conduct by the CIA and FBI. That's one of the fundamental differences between the Barr/Durham investigation and the Mueller investigation into the imaginary conspiracy between candidate Trump and his campaign and the Russians.

The Times report says that Durham's investigators intend to question senior CIA officials - presumably under oath - and are partly focused on the CIA's conclusion that Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was intended to benefit Donald Trump.

The senior CIA officials Durham's investigators will question will obviously include CIA Director Gina Haspel, who has the most to lose.

The leaks the Times published say, among other things, that one of the CIA officers that Durham wants to question works at the CIA's counterintelligence branch and would have been a conduit to pass intelligence to the FBI on Russian attempts to reach out to the Trump campaign.

The CIA will stall as much as it can and - despite the president's order to cooperate with the DoJ investigation - hide or destroy documents.
