John Brennan Breaks Silence After FBI Launches Criminal Probe — Claims Investigations Are “Made Up Out of Whole Cloth”
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 9, 2025 | Jim Hoft

Former CIA Director John Brennan has finally broken his silence after news broke that he is under criminal investigation by the FBI for his misconduct during the Trump–Russia probe — and his response was as arrogant and evasive as ever.

In a softball interview with MSNBC, Brennan dismissed the criminal referral as politically motivated fiction, refusing to take any responsibility for his role in promoting what turned out to be one of the biggest political hoaxes in American history.

The disgraced ex-CIA chief then doubled down on the thoroughly debunked narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump — parroting talking points from the Mueller witch hunt and Durham’s limited probe as if they somehow exonerate him.

“I think the SSCI report, the Mueller investigation, the Durham investigation and review — all of this, I think, validates what happened in terms of Russian interference: the conclusions of that assessment that Russia tried to enhance Donald Trump’s prospects in that election, to damage Hillary Clinton, and to undermine the integrity of our election process.

“Those have really stood up and have been validated and supported by subsequent, very thorough reviews,” Brennan claimed, ignoring the fact that none of these reports recommended prosecution of Trump — but several revealed stunning misconduct within the intelligence community, including Brennan’s own agency.

Brennan then lashed out at CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who helped trigger the criminal referral to the FBI, accusing him of lacking “dignity” and spreading “allegations that have no evidentiary basis whatsoever."

(I’ve always to imagine the LEVEL OF CORRUPTION that a straight White Male must achieve to have Obama place him in a high position in government)

I know that answer pertaining to Brennan. He wasn’t just a straight White male. He was a straight White male who had converted to Islam.

Why did the FBI reveal Brennan was under investigation? Wouldn’t it have been better to keep that quiet, investigate, and charge him criminally if there was a crime? Now Brennan can politicize the media in his defense.

The group of “51 former intelligence officials” refers to individuals who signed a letter in October 2020 suggesting that the reporting on a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden had the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation operation.
Many of the signatories of this letter held high-ranking positions in US intelligence agencies under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
Some prominent names among the signatories include:
James Clapper: Former Director of National Intelligence.
John Brennan: Former CIA Director.
Leon Panetta: Former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense.
Michael Hayden: Former Director of the CIA and NSA.
Michael Morell: Former Acting CIA Director.

“Brennan. He wasn’t just a straight White male. He was a straight White male who had converted to Islam.”

He also was officially a Communist — at least that was the story in his college years.

Whole cloth?

That would be rag paper. We’ve got your signature on those documents, Mr. Brennan.

Possibly deflection from the fallout over the Epstein List news.

Russia did interfere. They did everything they could to get Hillary elected.


Correct. The reason Obama did not add sanctions on Russia at the end of his term was that he did not want to box a Hillary Criminal administration in because the Marxist Democrats were already planning “Russian reset” 2.0 with Putin’s regime.

Yes, he supported and voted for a candidate from the American communist party for president named Gus Hall.
