The CIA's role in providing undercover 'asset' as FBI informant during election could have violated the law

Former CIA Director John Brennan has been on the warpath against President Donald Trump, and on Friday, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey turned the tables.

Appearing on “The Laura Ingraham Show,” Mukasey — who served under President George W. Bush — ripped Brennan’s conduct since leaving office. Brennan (pictured above right) said Friday on the “Today” show that Trump had displayed “paranoia, insecurity” and that he tweets about independent counsel Robert Mueller as if he were guilty.

“John Brennan, when this is over, is gonna have a lot to answer for … because his participation in, or the participation of CIA in providing an informant to be used in connection with the Mueller investigation, I think is a story that hasn’t yet been told,” Mukasey said.

Mukasey (pictured above left) noted that the informant, Stefan Halper, was a “CIA asset.” Reportedly, Halper was working for FBI counterintelligence agents and made contacts with several figures associated with Trump’s 2016 campaign in an attempt to uncover ties to Russia.

Depending on the role that the CIA itself played, it might have crossed more than ethical lines, he said.

"I would like to know how a CIA asset suddenly becomes an FBI informant," Mukasey said. "Who organized that? Who paid him? And was John Brennan running some kind of multi-agency operation relating to the Trump campaign? I don't know that he has any credentials as a mind reader or as a psychoanalyst to be analyzing the president's performance."

Mukasey also noted that Brennan objected to talking negatively about Islamic jihad because that is one of the religion's five pillars.

"His sense of priorities and what's important and what isn't, I think is highly dubious," he said. "And for him to be sounding off about the president's security or lack of it may be a reflection of his own insecurity, which would be entirely appropriate."

The whole effort is breaking down.  McCabe is calling Comey a liar and vica versa. One of the informants, living in the UK, reportedly went to Malta. But, is now in the wind.  The story about the honey trap set for Papadopoulos is breaking down.  The Aussie diplomat involved is back home and incommunicado.  Halper was paid about $1 million by a DoD think tank. Wonder how the FBI and CIA worked at all, at this rate.
