FBI launches criminal investigations of John Brennan, James Comey: DOJ sources
Fox ^ | By Brooke Singman

Posted on 07/08/2025 4:11:02 PM PDT by NoLibZone

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan for criminal investigation to the FBI, sources told Fox News Digital

Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are under criminal investigation for potential wrongdoing related to the Trump–Russia probe, including allegedly making false statements to Congress, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital.

The sources said that the referral was received and told Fox News Digital that a criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and is underway. DOJ sources declined to provide further details. It is unclear, at this point, if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements to Congress.

As for Comey, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital that an investigation into the former director is underway, but could not share details of what specifically is being probed.

This is why conspiracies are fun! I get to make X claim without data. You must show me all of Y to disprove X.

Fun game

Yes, I believe he is colluding to keep things hidden. Now you can claim it is in the interest of national security and it may very well be....but YES, I don’t believe we are being told the truth. He sure is trying to get people to stop talking about it.

That is great—but we still have a problem.

We have been crushing the Democrats with 80-20 issue after 80-20 issue one after another.

This is not one of them.

Based on what? Do you think for a nanosecond, if provided evidence to sink Democrat players and vice versa last admin to sink Trump it wouldn’t have already come to light? This is how conspiracies take root.

Benny Johnson (Feb 2025): “You say that the FBI has Epstein’s list, they’re sitting on it... Why is the FBI protecting the largest-scale pedorist [sic] in human history?”

Kash Patel: “Simple, because of who’s on that list.”

You can believe the line they are trying to sell.

I don’t. It’s about mutual destruction. AND another country being involved. Israel.


Amid reports of his links to Britain’s MI6 intelligence, the KGB and Mossad, Shamir declared that Maxwell “has done more for Israel than can today be said.”

Sad knowing you’re a sucker and have nothing to do about it.

Most of it is beyond the statue of limitations unfortunately. The entire group including Hillary and her law groups should all be charged in a RICO case. But think that we all know that nothing substantial is going to happen to any of those people. This is all for looks.

A lot of so called conspiracy theories have turned out to be true.

* The COVID virus was manufactured in a laboratory.
* Those who oppose the Green New Deal are climate deniers despite the hands of the World Economic Forum behind that scam.
* The Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
* Opposition to the COVID shots and lockdowns was due to conspiracy theories.
* Antifa is just another idea and not a terrorist group and those who believe otherwise are right wing extremists.
* January 6th was the worst act of domestic violence since Fort Sumter.

Placing blind faith in anyone but God is foolish. The Trump Administration is far better than what a Kamala Harris Administration would have been. However, when they deny a ton of evidence about the Epstein operation, they must be called out.

You think for a single second if they didn’t have the goods to sink Democrats for decades they wouldn’t take that opportunity?

The same FBI that hides Epstein’s list. Not impressed or hopeful.

It is possible that Republicans in both politics and business were involved with him. The name, John Roberts, appears on Epstein's flight logs. It is a common name but that could well have been the Chief Justice, whose activities in connection with the Knights of Malta, a secret fraternal order, have been questioned. After his past denunciations of Trump, Roberts has been better behaved of late, supporting the Administration on several Supreme Court decisions. Additionally, Mitch McConnell has been very well behaved in the last few months, not opposing Administration initiatives, which he could well do as he is not running for reelection. (I am not aware of any Epstein-McConnell connection.)

Perhaps Trump has been using his access to the Epstein records as leverage against recalcitrant Republicans. You should also consider the possibility that the well known Epstein clients in the private sector like Bill Gates and Alan Dershowitz represent only a small fraction of Epstein's guest list. If it turned out that many top level corporate executives and financiers visited Pedophile Island or Epstein's New Mexico and New York brothels, it could cause a massive turnover in the largest firms and financial institutions. The resultant fallout could cause a stock market collapse.

The implications of full exposure may just be too big a shock for the country. Trump has a responsibility to maintain civil order. Better to let distrust fester in Trump's political base than expose the U.S. to a major societal breakdown.
