Former CIA Director John Brennan is finding himself in hot water again as investigations heat up over his role in the debunked Russiagate scandal. Right now, Brennan and ex-FBI boss James Comey are under criminal investigation for possibly lying to Congress and other wrongdoing tied to the Trump-Russia hoax. Insiders call their actions part of a “conspiracy,” which opens the door to serious charges if true.
This isn’t Brennan’s first time getting caught in his own lies. Back in 2014, he swore a blue streak to Congress that his CIA team didn’t hack into Senate computer files studying the CIA’s secret wars. But a later investigation proved him wrong – and the agency had definitely broken the rules. Yet Brennan kept denying it, even after getting called out by Congress.
Brennan’s biggest whopper came during the 2016 election. He helped push the fake Steele dossier as key evidence for the claim that Russia swung the election for Trump. But this week, new evidence revealed Brennan’s CIA team pushed to include the dossier in their “high confidence” report – despite knowing it was junk. One whistle-blower says Brennan’s team griped the dossier was unproven but liked how it “rang true”.
President Trump made it clear he doesn’t trust Brennan. In 2018, he stripped his security clearance, calling him a liar and a media mouthpiece for the deep state. Trump also attacked Brennan’s mental fitness, saying he should be investigated – and now it looks like that’s finally happening.
Obama’s whole crew – including Clapper, Comey, and Hillary Clinton – barnstormed media tours insisting the 2017 Russia report was gospel. But now we know they all lied. The assessments were rushed, didn’t follow intelligence rules, and relied on shaky sources. Yet they used these “high confidence” claims to smear Trump and his supporters.
Brennan’s punishment could be severe if proven he lied to Congress or helped create this false narrative. But this isn’t just about him – it’s about holding the entire deep state accountable. For years, these same officials used their power to undermine American elections and manipulate the truth.
Conservatives are saying it’s about time these dirty secrets came to light. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: Trump’s fight against the Washington swamp versus powerful elites hiding behind smoke and mirrors. Americans deserve to know the truth, and investigations into Brennan and Comey are the first steps.
Let’s call it how it is: John Brennan and his pals played Americans for fools. Their lies split the country, destabilized our democracy, and gave Russia a bad name. Now, with justice closing in, maybe we’ll finally get the accountability this country deserves – and learn to trust our leaders again.
