There’s One Last Chance To Hold John Brennan Accountable For Russiagate
The Federalist ^ | July 09, 2025 | Hans Mahncke

The CIA recently released a damning Tradecraft Review that shreds the credibility of the Obama-ordered Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) — the report that famously concluded Russia had interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump. Much of the attention has focused on the discrepancy between the findings of this new review and what former CIA Director John Brennan told Congress in 2017. Indeed, multiple credible reports suggest Brennan is now under investigation for perjury.

One of the most glaring examples is Brennan’s sworn testimony that the Steele dossier — a collection of fabricated claims about Donald Trump funded by the Clinton campaign — “was not in any way used as a basis for the ICA.” The new review makes clear this was false. It was Brennan himself who pushed to include the dossier in the assessment, despite its complete lack of credibility. Brennan’s apparent goal was to launder Clinton campaign lies into the bloodstream of U.S. intelligence and, from there, into the media.

And it worked. The moment it was leaked in January 2017 that the dossier had made it into the ICA, it was treated as gospel. The media, which had previously hesitated to touch it, now embraced it with both hands, claiming that if it was good enough for the CIA and part of an official intelligence assessment, it must be legitimate. From that point forward, the Steele dossier became central to the Russia collusion narrative, despite being a complete fabrication. So it’s no wonder Brennan tried to cover his tracks by lying to Congress about his role in elevating it.

However, there’s a major problem — one that most reporting has completely missed. Under...

If CBS can be sued for defamation, so can Brennan.

There are more guilty parties starting with Hillary and including 0bama, Biden, Clapper and many democRATs in congress. You could probably throw in the MSM news organizations.

There is no statute of limitations on treason.

To prosecute Brennan and Comey they will also have to list all the federal judges in DC as unindicted co-conspirators to keep them from being the judges on any cases. Note what Boaz did.

If Brennan is prosecuted, The DOJ will have achieved legitimacy.

Of all the levels of treasonous snakes that inhabit the leftist political movement, Brennan is on level one. Level one is for those most deserving of a hemp and branch party - the sooner the better.

Unfortunately there is one on perjury. They ran the clock out, as usual.

Right. No one on this planet that has the power to hold him accountable has the guts or the brains to do so, especially with this current administration of amateur hour clowns in charge. If there was some way to tie Brennan to something anti-semetic. Hmm...

Perjury has nothing to do with what he and others did, but treason does.

This is the constitutional definition of treason:

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

They conspired to overthrow a sitting President by creating a false narrative that they knew was false, but went ahead with anyway. If that wasn’t their motive for doing it, then why did they even do it?
