Following a report that those subpoenas had been dropped in favor of requests, the government official turned corporate media analyst — accused of falsely denying reliance on the infamous Steele dossier — remained “quite proud” of his actions on MS NOW. According to the Associated Press, voluntary interviews were sought after recent subpoenas issued for grand jury testimony were withdrawn. It was noted, “The reason for the reversal in course was not immediately known.” Opining on the latest in the case, Brennan appeared with MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace and said, “This has been an odyssey over the past 10 years where Russian interference has been reviewed, the various actions that were taken by senior officials at that time have been scrutinized over and over and over again.” “And it’s clear that this administration, the Trump administration, wants to continue to try to assert that there was some wrongdoing, and I am quite proud of what we did to uncover and expose Russian interference in that 2016 election, just the way the Russians have attempted to interfere in a lot of elections, not just here in the United States, but abroad,” insisted the former chief spook. “And throughout my career, I worked closely with a lot of individuals in the Department of Justice who had the highest integrity and were really dedicated public servants to try to make sure that

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will soon be out of work and is reportedly “begging” President Donald J. Trump for a job in his administration. After an amazing run of success during which he established Republican dominance in the Sunshine State, DeSantis will be forced to leave the governor’s mansion due to term limits, with the future uncertain for a man who was once seen by many as presidential material.

A leftist lawfare group is seeking information that may prove claims that FBI Director Kash Patel has behavioral issues that adversely impact his job, including “excessive drinking and unexplained absences.” In the aftermath of a hit piece by The Atlantic, which cites anonymous sources to allege that the nation’s top law enforcement officer is a drunk, the group Democracy Forward has sent a 16-page Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Justice Department asking for documents, including communications and schedules that could prove the claims made in the explosive article. The claims were strongly denied by Patel, who wasted little time in filing a $250 million defamation lawsuit against the outlet and its reporter.
