Exclusive: House Judiciary Committee Refers John Brennan To DOJ For Criminal Prosecution
https://thefederalist.com/ ^ | October 21, 2025 | Shawn Fleetwood

‘Brennan’s assertion that the CIA was not ‘involved at all’ with the Steele dossier cannot be reconciled with the facts.’

The House Judiciary Committee referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution on Tuesday over allegations that he “knowingly made false statements” to Congress about his role in the Russia collusion hoax.

In the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained by The Federalist, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that “Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”

“Making false statements before Congress,” Jordan wrote, “is a crime that undermines the integrity of the Committee’s constitutional duty to conduct oversight.”

The referral highlights numerous instances in which Brennan allegedly issued untrue remarks when testifying before the Judiciary Committee in May 2023. Among them are comments the former CIA director made when discussing his agency’s role in helping craft the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that advanced the false narrative that Russia “developed a clear preference” for Donald Trump and “aspired to help” him win the 2016 election.

I can’t think of a slimier individual in government, and that’s a really low bar.

“”I can’t think of a slimier individual in government, and that’s a really low bar.”””

If you put Brennan and Schiff in a competition to see who could lie the best I’m not sure who would win.

Schiff is slimier - Brennan is simply a seditionist.

It would take a thick volume to document all of Brennan’s lies.

If his lips were moving he was probably lying.

“knowingly made false statements”

That’s all we can get these filth on when they are all guilty of high treason and everything in between?

Prosecute and jail him. Accountability can be a deterrent and even if it isn't we get a modicum of justice.

Referred to the DOJ, eh? Has Bondi had a press conference yet? How is she doing on the Bolton referral?

As near as I can tell they refer people for criminal prosecution and that’s the last we ever hear of it.

Just one more domino in the latest rendition of a domino theory.

Clapper next and then we have the former white house surrounded. All we need is one domino to fall the rest go tumbling down.

Shiff would be icing on the cake.

A hundred dollar fine, 24 hours in jail, and a promise to never do it again.

It is all theater and they are ALL in on it...
