FBI interviewing CIA officers in Brennan investigation
NBC Los Angeles ^ | 12 May 2026 | Dan De Luce and Ryan J. Reilly

Posted on 05/12/2026 4:53:05 PM PDT by Apparatchik

The FBI is conducting interviews with current and former CIA officers as part of an investigation into ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s role in an intelligence assessment that found Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation.

FBI agents began questioning employees last week at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the person said.

The interviews appeared to focus solely on Brennan and his statements to Congress, and the decision to include an unverified dossier about President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia in a 2017 intelligence assessment about Moscow’s election meddling, the person said.

Brennan has said he opposed including the dossier, but was overruled by the FBI director at the time, James Comey.

Reuters first reported on the FBI interviews.

The FBI declined to comment. The CIA declined to comment and referred questions to the Justice Department.

I decline to comment on the FBI declining to comment on the CIA declining to comment about the FBI’s decline to comment.

Well, that’s it for the comments today.

Comey and Brennan have been in depth interview guests with treacly sweet questions on the leftist news shows.

Accidentally channel surfed to see Brennan and made it to the sink just in time as I bent my head down into it.

If part of the misery of my being alive is Comey and Brennan and the rest get away with everything and laugh at good people like me, then it will be difficult to make up an excuse for staying alive.

A Director of the CIA who had voted for the Communist Party U.S. presidential ticket in 1976.

Ponder that for a few moment.

Have the CIA interview the FBI so they can clear each other of any wrongdoing.

Did the deep state criminals inside the CIA and the FBI swear an oath to protect and defend the government agencies and their superiors for whom they worked or was their oath to protect and defend the US Constitution? Just curious.
