One of former CIA Director John Brennan’s ex-employees has called for him to be prosecuted after the agency released a bombshell report outlining how he sought to use the agency to promote the Russia collusion hoax.
The report discussed the details surrounding the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin “aspired” to help President Donald Trump win the 2016 election. The CIA noted how Brennan became intimately involved in the process of compiling the ICA. Despite protests from his underlings, the former CIA director insisted on including information from the debunked Steele Dossier, which contained deceptive claims about Trump’s relationship with the Kremlin.
The ICA was instrumental in the Democrats’ effort to deceive the public into believing Trump had colluded with the Russian government to influence the outcome of the election.
Former CIA operations officer Bryan Dean Wright penned an op-ed for Fox News in which he argued that Brennan “belongs in prison.”
Wright lists five reasons why his former boss should be behind bars. For starters, Brennan lied about using the content of the Steele Dossier in the ICA during an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “As his former staffers now admit, Brennan specifically pushed for the inclusion of the dossier in the ICA despite explicit warnings from his top operational and analytical management that the dossier didn’t meet the most basic [of] tradecraft standards,” Wright pointed out.
...
Next was Brennan’s decision to limit the agencies that could participate in drafting the ICA. The report notes that he insisted that the CIA take the lead on the matter and blocked out other agencies. It also points out that this conduct is not typical for members of top leadership. “He wanted to control the authors (his employees), their assessment, any dissent, and their careers if they crossed him,” Wright wrote.
The third issue is Brennan’s interference in the drafting of the document. He influenced the process to ensure “that he got the exact ICA he watned, which included the junk dossier and a single-source intel report on fabricated ‘Trump-Russia Collusion,” the author asserted.
The CIA explained that the timeline for creating the ICA was rushed. Even though the election was over, Brennan wanted the document to be created within weeks when it normally takes months to compile such a report. This was clearly part of an effort to discredit Trump’s victory.
Lastly, the new assessment notes that Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey spread the ICA far and wide. More than 200 officials received the document, which is “unusually high for such a highly compartmented product,” the report explained.
“In other words, they briefed it to leak it — to destroy Trump,” Wright wrote. “In fact, that’s what The New York Times suspected, too. As they asked their readers in January of 2017, why would Brennan and Comey have briefed and shared the discredited dossier ‘to multiple people in Congress and the executive branch, virtually assuring it would be leaked?’” the author said.
Wright absolutely nailed it in this op-ed. The new report confirms that Brennan and his anti-Trump allies used government resources to lie to the American public. They used the money the government takes from citizens to attack a political opponent.
This essentially means we the people paid the government to run one of the largest con jobs in recent memory. What’s even more galling is that this is one of several examples showing how Democrats weaponized the government against Trump and others who disagree with their politics.
I’m not a lawyer, but it would seem reasonable to speculate that at leasts some of Brennan’s and Comey’s conduct would be criminal in nature. But in this two-tiered justice system, it is doubtful any of these men will be held accountable because power and money are quite an effective shield against justice.
Where was this guy when the crimes were being committed?
Last time I checked, using one’s influence toward a political end is not a crime. Neither is lying to FOX News or any other entity in order to accomplish the same.
Lying to Congress is a crime. Drag his ass in front of some Committee under oath. When he refuses to testify, and he will, prosecute him for Contempt.

and?
Then send him to permanent residence status in a jail cell.
While that may be true in most cases, at this moment these two culprits are not in power, and I don't think they are extremely wealthy or popular either. Call it what you want, but they conspired to undermine a duly elected President with the goal of removing him from office.
I have been waiting 8 YEARS to see this nasty old b*st*rd charged with treason.
Lying on a FISA Court submission is an act of perjury, Says it right on the form.
Did he violate his Oath of Office?
“I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”“I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

So many criminals like Brennan who Never go to jail
Fed gub mint is crappola
It’s a crime when you’re working with MI6 to overthrow the U.S. government.
Seems a bit (5 + 4 years of Biden!) late.
I’m pretty sure the federal government will ponder this matter very thoughtfully until they are totally sure that the statute of limitations has been reached, and then they will issue a sternly worded letter.
Bryan Dean Wright, you know what your acts mean? Well? They mean no letter of recommendation from John!
Just gives me another reason to despise all the loud mouth sanctimonious democrats. Pure scum and they constantly harass decent Americans.
I know so many little punks on social media, like a reporter for the local Democrat rag, who was constantly posting obcene remarks about Trump being Putin’s [you can imagine].
These are the worst people on earth masquerading as being morally superior.
All of the idiot Democrats at Yahoo fell for
“the Steele Dossier” - I saw their comments
Yes, they were actually that stupid
(not that any of us are surprised)
“One of former CIA Director John Brennan’s ex-employees has called for him to be prosecuted...”
He’ll be needing someone to watch his back, now. “Penitentiary-Face” Brennan will get his revenge.
In most of the 250 year history of the USA, Brennen, Comey, and others would be in stocks for the public to throw rotten vegetables at. Brennen might have had his neck stretched.
