A sudden shift in subpoenas from the Justice Department offered a new opportunity for a former CIA Director to opine on the Russian collusion hoax and demonize the current administration.<\/p>\n\n

On the heels of a prosecutorial shakeup at the DOJ, word spread that subpoenas were issued to FBI and intelligence officials to testify before a grand jury related to the probe of former CIA Director John Brennan. Following a report that those subpoenas had been dropped in favor of requests, the government official turned corporate media analyst \u2014 accused of falsely denying reliance on the infamous Steele dossier \u2014 remained \u201cquite proud\u201d of his actions on MS NOW.<\/p>\n

According to the Associated Press, voluntary interviews were sought after recent subpoenas<\/a> issued for grand jury testimony were withdrawn. It was noted<\/a>, \u201cThe reason for the reversal in course was not immediately known.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opining on the latest in the case, Brennan appeared with MS NOW\u2019s Nicolle Wallace and said, \u201cThis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s 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,\u201d insisted the former chief spook.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd 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 the department\u2019s name was actually reflected in their actions, the Department of Justice,\u201d continued Brennan. \u201cAnd speaking to a number of people who have served in the Department of Justice over the years, they\u2019re shocked, they\u2019re appalled, they\u2019re dismayed, they\u2019re worried, they\u2019re very troubled by what they see happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

The subpoena reversal also followed a report<\/a> that the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District of Florida National Security Section Chief Maria Medetis Long was removed from the Brennan probe over her own alleged resistance to quickly bring charges against Brennan.<\/p>\n

As detailed in a referral for criminal prosecution from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to then-Attorney General Pam Bondi, \u201c\u2026 newly declassified evidence also confirms that Brennan falsely testified to the Committee. During a transcribed interview on May 11, 2023, Brennan stated that \u2018the CIA was not involved at all with the [Steele] dossier.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter also presented how an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that claimed Russia aimed to aid then-businessman Donald Trump win the 2016 election, \u201cnow known to be false, was based in part on the Steele dossier, \u201cwhich was referenced in the ICA main body text, and further detailed in a two-page ICA annex.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those details didn\u2019t prevent Brennan from going on to insist, \u201cPart of this is to harass, to try to hurt individuals, reputationally, professionally, financially. Trying to keep the story alive as a way to deflect from other issues and challenges that they face. Again, I\u2019m not surprised by this. I\u2019m very dismayed and disappointed by it.\u201d Meanwhile, he was called out on social media for appearing to do just that.<\/p>\n

\n

A haggard John Brennan says he\u2019s \u201cdismayed and disappointed\u201d by the investigation into the Russia Hoax.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of this is, to harass, to try to hurt individuals, reputationally, professionally, financially.\u201d<\/p>\n
