Brennan, Comey, and the Reckoning Long Overdue

For years, patriotic Americans have known something smelled rotten in the deep-state narrative about Trump and Russia. We knew it when CNN breathlessly paraded James Clapper in front of cameras. We knew it when John Brennan tried to look solemn while peddling dossiers, and we definitely knew it when Jim Comey told Congress he just “doesn’t recall” half of anything that happened on his watch.

Now, the Department of Justice has officially confirmed that both former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey are under criminal investigation. Let that sink in: the architects of the most dishonest intelligence operation in modern political history might finally have to answer for it.

According to DOJ sources, Brennan is being scrutinized for potential false statements to Congress. He reportedly told lawmakers one thing under oath in 2023—namely, that he opposed the use of the infamous Steele dossier in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment—but the CIA’s internal “lessons learned” report and written records directly contradict that. In fact, Brennan not only approved the inclusion of the unverified opposition research funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, he insisted on it—against the advice of multiple seasoned Russia analysts. He reportedly overrode protocol, pushed the report out the door under political pressure, and justified it later with a convenient case of congressional amnesia. That’s not a “whoops.” That’s perjury.

And Comey? Well, his hands have been all over this from day one. The man who feigned righteous independence while leaking memos to trigger a special counsel probe now finds himself under the microscope. The exact scope of the investigation into Comey isn’t fully public yet, but if he coordinated or knowingly misled lawmakers or the American people, the American people deserve justice. This entire mess began when the highest levels of our intelligence community decided that the will of the people in 2016 was simply unacceptable—and set out to undo it.

Let’s not forget what that “collusion” claim was built on. The Steele dossier—compiled by a former British spy, paid for by the DNC, and stuffed with unverifiable, salacious, and in some cases demonstrably false claims—was treated by Brennan and company as gospel. Despite warnings about its credibility, it was shoehorned into the ICA anyway. And when asked about it, Brennan initially claimed it “wasn’t part of the corpus” of intelligence. That turned out to be flat-out false.

And then there’s the media’s role. Legacy outlets were more than willing participants in the circus. Every leak, every selectively quoted memo, every misleading anonymous source—it all served the narrative. The goal wasn’t truth. It was damage. The Trump presidency had to be undercut from the inside out, using taxpayer-funded agencies to manufacture a crisis.

When the Mueller report landed in 2019 and found zero evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, the press just moved the goalposts. When the Durham report confirmed that the FBI had launched Crossfire Hurricane on shaky evidence and unverified political research, the media yawned. When Brennan got caught flip-flopping on his sworn testimony, not one major network broke in with a live chyron. But this latest development is too big to ignore—even for them.

Here’s why this matters: if top U.S. intelligence officials lied to Congress, politicized their offices, and misused their powers to interfere with a duly elected president, then this is the biggest abuse-of-power scandal since Watergate—and maybe worse. Because at least Nixon didn’t have the CIA running political ops under cover of classified assessments.

This was the deep state’s Hail Mary. When they couldn’t stop Trump at the ballot box, they tried to cripple him with process. Now the process may finally be turning on them.

Let’s be crystal clear: no American is above the law—not even the smug, security-cleared cabal that tried to sell us on Russian hookers, kompromat, and golden showers. If Brennan misled Congress, he should be prosecuted. If Comey knowingly allowed an unverified dossier to spark surveillance, he should answer for it. These men weren’t safeguarding democracy—they were sabotaging it.

And for those who say, “Well, Mueller didn’t charge them” or “Durham didn’t indict them”—sure. But new evidence, new testimony, and new political leadership mean there’s finally an appetite for justice. This isn’t revenge. This is course correction. This is the long arc of accountability bending, at last, toward those who truly undermined a presidency.

If the FBI’s probe finds what so many of us already suspect, Brennan and Comey may soon have matching orange jumpsuits to go with their faded credentials.

That sound you hear? That’s the deep state sweating bullets. And somewhere in America, a Trump voter is pouring a well-earned drink.
