Former CIA Director John Brennan claims he’s “clueless” as to why the FBI would open a criminal probe against him and says he’s had “no contact” with federal authorities related to an investigation.
“Quite frankly, I don’t know what is true, you know,” Brennan told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace Wednesday in his first public remarks since reports emerged that he’s under investigation for potential criminal conduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.
“If it was a referral, if there is an investigation, presumably if there is an investigation, people will be questioned,” the former spy chief said. “I would be questioned about it, but again, I’ve had no contact from them.”
Brennan, who led the CIA under former President Barack Obama, is believed to be under investigation for lying to Congress about the Steele dossier, which contained salacious allegations tying President Trump to Russia.
The Post’s Miranda Devine reported last week that Brennan may have set himself up to face perjury charges after a new email surfaced in a CIA “lessons-learned review” of the agency’s assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election to help President Trump.
The email indicated that Brennan insisted that the discredited Steele dossier be included, despite strong pushback from the CIA’s two most senior Russia experts.
Brennan, however, claimed during congressional testimony in May 2017 that the Steele dossier “wasn’t part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had,” and six years later, he testified to the House Judiciary Committee that the CIA was “very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier” in the Trump-Russia report.

He knows fully well that it’s just a faux “investigation” to try to detract from the Epstein coverup and toss some hopeium to Trump’s frustrated base.
I, for one, would love to see that pedantic putz behind bars.
Sadly, this will probably never happen.
LYING AGAIN??????????????
His file is on Bondi’s desk right now so he can rest easy knowing nothing will ever happen.
And like that other “investigation” they’ll drop big hints about lawlessness to the media and then in a couple months completely backtrack and get annoyed if you ask them about it.
They need to make a Bondi doll. Complete with a desk with dusty files on it and a manicure and self waxing set.
He’s either lying or stupid … or both
“If it was a referral, if there is an investigation, presumably if there is an investigation, people will be questioned,”
Mr. Brennan, they did question you, on the record, in front of Congress. You gave testimony already, answered questions. The investigation is if you committed perjury, and if you colluded to suppress facts to Congress that you did illegal activities. They don’t need to question you again, or even notify you. They might come by heavily armed, at 330am, to pick you up though.
“He knows fully well that it’s just a faux “investigation” to try to detract from the Epstein coverup and toss some hopeium to Trump’s frustrated base.”
I disagree. This administration is coming for the Deep State and Brennan, Comey and Clapper are going to experience what justice looks like. They are traitors. The evidence is there and, the right people are sitting in the positions to do something about this.
As for Epstein, who cares? There is enough evidence from the Diddy trial to shut down the child trafficking industry. There is so much information, disinformation and muddled files and documentation out there on Epstein that it will never be resolved.
More lies from a lying liar. Did I mention that he lies?
There is another possibility. He may not know exactly which specific crime, of the many, that he's being investigated.
Has the FBI went to his home yet at 2 AM and dragged him out of the house in his underpants yet? Maybe the FBI could call RSBN and have them on location to film the whole process.
I am sure this might help refresh his memory.
Yeah, sure. x2.
I see common sense in your reply to a post where there isn’t any.
Clapper is the weak link. He’ll break. He already testified that Obama ordered the deep state to frame Trump as a Russian asset. Despicable.
How “frustrated” are we? This thing about Epstein seems non-essential compared to the DOJ developing its cases against Brennan, Comey and who knows who else?
Maybe you don’t understand the stranglehold that MI6/Mossad/CIA blackmail has on Congress and the rest of our government?
Maybe you are fooled into thinking that the FBI announcing that it is opening an investigation on Brennan and his ilk is actually going to lead to them being tried for treason, which is pretty much what it would take to not have the statute of limitations long past?
