Will John Brennan Ever Tell the Truth?
American Greatness ^ | 14 Jul, 2025 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 07/14/2025 4:19:12 AM PDT by MtnClimber

John Brennan spent years lying to Congress, the press, and the public—yet now claims he's "clueless" about a DOJ investigation. He’s only clueless about how not to lie.

When asked why the current Department of Justice might be investigating him, former CIA Director John Brennan answered, as was his wont, with a complete lie: “I am clueless about what it is exactly that they may be investigating me for.”

Clueless? Hardly. Brennan knows full well that his fingerprints are on some of the greatest scandals of the last decade. These machinations have threatened the very integrity of our institutions and elections.

He has a record of serially lying to Congress, the public, and the media, and doing so emphatically.

In 2011, as the government’s chief counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan absurdly insisted that the Obama administration’s drone strikes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border had not killed a single civilian noncombatant. Yet multiple sources proved the claim was clearly false. In truth, the number of innocents killed was likely somewhere between 50 and 70.

In 2014, as director of the CIA, Brennan lied again, doubling down by denying that CIA operatives were hacking into U.S. Senate staffers’ computers.

“As far as the allegations of the CIA hacking into Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. . . . We wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s just beyond the, you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we do.”

Here, too, he was caught lying and forced to apologize—but never charged with perjury.

But Brennan’s biggest fabrications came in 2017 when, as an ex-CIA director, he testified before a congressional committee that he neither knew who had commissioned the now-infamous bogus Steele dossier nor whether the CIA had relied on it for its intelligence assessments.

One of my most important rights as as American is to vote in free and fair elections. Anything lees that clean elections is taxation without representation.
This creep has circumvented the entire process to the point where no election can be considered free and fair.
There has to be a severe price for what brennan has done to America.

Can Brennan be “clueless” & still be prosecuted since the evidence against him is known?

We already know the answer to this...what *I* want to know is when is he going to spend the rest of his lousy life in prison?

No. He could be confronted with a video tape and his own signed confession, notarized and witnessed by 15 nuns and he’d still lie.

That’s what people like this do.

I was in a long business lawsuit like this. Literally memos and emails and even audio recordings and the guilty still lied. They settled on very favorable (to us) terms while denying everything.

That’s just their nature.

“ The primary claim that John Brennan converted to Islam stems from statements made by former FBI agent John Guandolo in a 2013 radio interview. Guandolo alleged that Brennan converted to Islam while serving as CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 1996 to 1999. He claimed U.S. government officials who were in Saudi Arabia at the time witnessed Brennan’s growing relationships with Saudi government individuals and his conversion to Islam. Guandolo further pointed to a video where Brennan expressed admiration for the Hajj and the devotion of Muslims making the pilgrimage, suggesting this supported his claim, as non-Muslims are generally not allowed in Mecca and Medina during Hajj season. In 2017, former CIA station chief Brad Johnson reportedly confirmed to Guandolo that several CIA insiders were aware of Brennan’s alleged conversion.” - Grok

“ Brennan’s Public Statements on Islam: Brennan’s remarks, such as his 2010 speech at NYU where he spoke positively about the “goodness and beauty of Islam” and described jihad as a personal struggle rather than violence, have been cited as tertiary evidence. Some interpret these as indicating a deeper alignment with Islam”

“ The evidence regarding John Brennan’s alleged support for communism primarily stems from his own admission during a 2016 panel discussion at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference. Brennan disclosed that in 1976, while a college student at Fordham University, he voted for Gus Hall, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) candidate for president”

“ Based on the historical evidence provided in response to your previous questions, it is fair to conclude that both communism and Islamism, as implemented in various states, have been associated with significant instances of state-sponsored or ideologically driven mass violence and murder.
For communism, major regimes like the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, and others have documented records of mass killings—such as the Holodomor (3.5–7 million deaths), the Great Leap Forward (15–45 million deaths), and the Khmer Rouge genocide (1.5–2 million deaths)—tied to their ideological purges, forced collectivization, or political repression.
For Islamism in Muslim-majority countries, historical records show repeated anti-non-Muslim pogroms and violence, such as the Armenian Genocide (800,000–1.5 million deaths), the Farhud in Iraq (180–200 Jews killed), and ongoing persecution of minorities like Baha’is in Iran (over 200 executions since 1979), often driven by religious or nationalist fervor.
While the scale and context differ across cases, the evidence supports the characterization of both ideologies, as historically practiced in certain states, as having led to murderous outcomes. ”

How would we know if he did? Brennan could tell me the sky is blue and I’d walk outside and look up to confirm it. If he told me water was wet I’d stick my hand under the faucet.

He’s a known, confirmed, unapologetic, liar.

Nothing he says can be trusted nor should it be.
