This is documented in a book "Visas for Terrorists" according to the video. Incredible.

Was this topic brought up during any of his confirmation hearings?

If not, why not?

Since he was the ambassador to Saudi Arabia wouldn’t ALL visas issued during his time there have been issued in his name? Just saying.

And Vince Foster’s body was found in a park next to the Saudi Embassy. There are no coincidences.

I asked Grok “Is John Brennan a muslim?” It replied:

“There’s no solid evidence that John Brennan, former CIA Director, is Muslim. The claim’s been floating around since 2013, mostly pushed by a former FBI agent, John Guandolo, who said Brennan converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s. Guandolo’s the main source, but his credibility’s shaky—he quit the FBI in 2008 after a scandal involving a key witness. No documents, witnesses, or official records back him up. Brennan’s spoken Arabic in public—like a 2010 NYU talk about his time in Cairo—but he never mentions converting or practicing Islam. He’s described his upbringing as Catholic and, in his 2020 memoir Undaunted, calls himself agnostic now.

The rumor got legs because Brennan was sworn in as CIA Director on a Constitution copy, not a Bible, and praised the Hajj once, saying he “marveled at its majesty” while in Riyadh. Conspiracy types ran with that, but it’s thin—non-Muslims can admire Islamic culture without converting, and the Constitution oath was a symbolic flex, not a faith statement. Snopes debunked this years ago, and Brennan’s spokesman, Nick Shapiro, told AP in 2019 it’s “nonsense.” X posts still push it—some from 2025 call him a Muslim convert or terrorist plant—but it’s all echo-chamber noise, no proof.

Brennan’s career—25 years at CIA, counterterrorism czar under Obama—shows no sign of religious bias tilting his work. Claims he’s a secret Muslim seem more like political mudslinging than fact. Without hard evidence, it’s just a theory that doesn’t hold up. “

My cousin was a foreign service officer and was under Brennan in the late ‘90s in S.A. I asked him how he was, and he said, “just another functionary and bureaucrat.”

How does a CIA agent get to issue passports/visas for people who want to come here? Wikipedia says Brennan became deputy executive director of the CIA in March 2001. The State Department is responsible for issuing passports and visas, not the CIA. U.S. Embassies and Consulates can also issue visas. There is no reason why Brennan would have issued terrorists visas to come here, unless he was involved in some nefarious plan.

Chapter 1 of the 911 Commission Staff Statements

On page two of this document is the sub-section titled Visas:

"Visas

The 19 hijackers applied for 23 visas and obtained 22. Five other conspirators were denied U.S. visas. Two more obtained visas but did not participate in the attack for various reasons.

They began attempting to acquire U.S. visas in April 1999, two years and five months before the attack. Consular officers were unaware of the potential significance of an indicator of potential extremism present in some al Qaeda passports, had no information about fraudulent travel stamps that are associated with al Qaeda, and were not trained in terrorist travel tactics generally.

Two Yemenis were denied visas in Yemen for reasons of U.S. immigration law unrelated to terrorism. At the same time, two Saudi hijackers obtained visas in Saudi Arabia. When these two Saudis later showed up in Afghanistan, they were selected for the mission in part because they already had U.S. visas. Later, most of the operatives selected were Saudis, who had little difficulty obtaining visas.

In early 2000, four conspirators sought U.S. visas to learn how to become pilots in the plot. An Egyptian and a Lebanese obtained visas easily in Berlin, because they had established ties to Germany and so did not look like intending immigrants. Both presented new passports. A Yemeni who wanted to be a pilot was repeatedly turned down for a visa because he did not have strong ties to Germany, failed to complete the necessary paperwork, and looked like an intending immigrant.

Thirteen of the hijackers presented passports less than three weeks old when they applied for their visas, but the new passports caused no heightened scrutiny of their visa applications.

Two hijackers lied on their visa applications in detectable ways, but were not further questioned about those lies.

Two hijackers were interviewed for reasons unrelated to terrorism. Most simply had their applications approved and their passports stamped with a U.S. visa. Consular officers were not trained to detect terrorists in a visa interview. Terrorism concerns were handled through the watchlist, and all the conspirators’ names were checked against the terrorist watchlist without producing a match.

One Saudi, one Moroccan, and one Pakistani were each denied visas for reasons unrelated to terrorism. The last conspirator, the Pakistani, was denied on August 27, 2001, in the United Arab Emirates.

The mastermind of the operation, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, used a travel facilitator to acquire a visa on July 23, 2001, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using an alias."

The one fact left out is that John Brennan was a communist party member and converted to Islam.

Actually the book is J. Michael Springmann, “Visas for Al Qaeda: CIA Handouts That Rocked the World: An Insider’s View”, published in 2015.
