The deep state architects behind the Trump-Russia collusion hoax are finally facing justice as the FBI launches criminal investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey over their alleged lies to Congress.
At a Glance
- Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey face criminal investigations for potentially making false statements to Congress during the Trump-Russia probe.
- Current CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence to the FBI after a CIA “lessons-learned review” revealed questionable actions by both officials.
- Brennan may face perjury charges over emails showing he insisted on including the discredited Steele dossier despite later denying it.
- Barack Obama allegedly orchestrated the rushed intelligence assessment before Trump’s inauguration, raising questions about political motivations.
- Trump called the former officials “crooked as hell” and suggested they “may have to pay a price” for their actions.
Deep State Accountability Finally Arrives
The FBI has opened criminal investigations into former intelligence chiefs John Brennan and James Comey for their roles in promoting the now-discredited Trump-Russia collusion narrative. The probe follows a damning CIA review that found that Obama-era officials corrupted intelligence processes to target then-President-elect Trump.
The investigation was initiated after current CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence to the FBI, stating that “Agency heads at the time created a politically charged environment that triggered an atypical analytic process around an issue essential to our democracy.” President Trump reacted to the news by calling the former officials “crooked as hell” and suggesting they “may have to pay a price for that.”
Obama’s Fingerprints on the ‘Intelligence Hit Job’
Perhaps the most explosive revelation is the alleged direct involvement of former President Barack Obama. According to reports, Obama personally directed what Ratcliffe called a “railroaded” process, demanding a comprehensive intelligence assessment on Russian election activities be completed before Trump’s inauguration. This expedited timeline for such a sensitive analysis is a major red flag that this was a political exercise, not legitimate intelligence work. As Ratcliffe bluntly put it, “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump’.”
Brennan and Comey’s Lies Unravel
Brennan’s legal jeopardy centers on his contradictory statements about the infamous Steele dossier. While he has publicly downplayed its importance, new evidence reportedly shows he insisted on including the Democrat-funded opposition research in the official intelligence assessment. Predictably, Brennan is now playing the victim, calling the investigation “a very sad and tragic example of the continued politicization of the intelligence community”—a rich claim from the man who allegedly politicized it in the first place.
Comey faces scrutiny for signing off on FISA warrants to surveil Trump campaign officials based on the same bogus dossier. The investigation into these top Obama-era officials is long overdue. For years, conservatives have watched as the architects of the Russia collusion hoax have escaped consequences, while President Trump and his allies were dragged through endless investigations. It appears the deep state is finally being forced to answer for its actions.
The decision by Democratic party elites and allied national security state officials to frame Trump and his associates as Russian agents — and also blame Russia for putting him in office — is a disastrous and never-ending scandal. As was the media's decision, except at the… https://t.co/xej2RjWDRU
