Ex-CIA Director Brennan, Former FBI Officials Subpoenaed as Part of Russiagate Probe: Sources

Former CIA Director John Brennan, ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were among more than two dozen people subpoenaed Friday as part of a Justice Department investigation into the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.

A total of 30 federal grand jury subpoenas were issued related to the investigation into the Obama-era “Russigate” probe, a source told The Post.

The people targeted are seen as “part of the conspiracy” that peddled claims President Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russian government ahead of the 2016 election, the source said.

US Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones is supervising the probe out of the Southern District of Florida, where the grand jury is, according to Fox News, which first reported on the subpoenas.

The FBI launched a criminal investigation into Brennan in July, after CIA Director John Ratcliffe released a “lessons-learned review” of the Obama administration’s spy agencies’ assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election to help Trump.

Ex-CIA Director John Brennan Explodes as He’s Confronted About Hunter Biden’s Laptop

Former CIA Director John Brennan snapped at a man who confronted him for signing the infamous letter in 2020 that claimed the bombshell Hunter Biden email scandal exposed by The Post had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Brennan, 70, grew visibly incensed and angrily got in the face of the man who pressed about the letter, poking him on the chest repeatedly before backing off.

“You misrepresented that,” Brennan shouted at conservative national security consultant Thomas Speciale during the tense clash.

“We never said it was disinformation; we said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do. There’s a big difference,” he added.

After Speciale pushed back, the ex-CIA boss waved his hand in frustration and vented, “I’m not going to waste my time with you.” (Read more from “Ex-CIA Director John Brennan Explodes as He’s Confronted About Hunter Biden’s Laptop” HERE)

House Judiciary Committee Refers John Brennan To DOJ For Criminal Prosecution

The House Judiciary Committee referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution on Tuesday over allegations that he “knowingly made false statements” to Congress about his role in the Russia collusion hoax.

In the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained by The Federalist, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that “Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”

“Making false statements before Congress,” Jordan wrote, “is a crime that undermines the integrity of the Committee’s constitutional duty to conduct oversight.”

The referral highlights numerous instances in which Brennan allegedly issued untrue remarks when testifying before the Judiciary Committee in May 2023. Among them are comments the former CIA director made when discussing his agency’s role in helping craft the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that advanced the false narrative that Russia “developed a clear preference” for Donald Trump and “aspired to help” him win the 2016 election.

As noted by Jordan, “This conclusion — now known to be false — was based in part on the Steele dossier,” a series of reports containing salacious and unproven allegations about Trump that was bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign’s law firm. The dossier was ultimately shopped to the FBI in early July 2016 and later used by the agency to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign official Carter Page.

BOMBSHELL: Senior DOJ Epstein Investigator Reveals ‘Epstein Was CIA’ — Confirms ‘R-pes Occurred While Bill Clinton Was on the Plane’

Jeffrey Epstein was working with the CIA, according to a former Department of Justice employee, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The late sex offender was said to be protected from justice while working with the agency.

The individual, Glenn Prager, who is believed to have previously worked with the DOJ, claimed to Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, the “[DOJ] didn’t want to go after him [Epstein] because he’s an asset for the United States and Israel. It’s not talked about yet, but it’s soon to come out that he [Epstein] was a CIA informant.”

However, the DOJ was quick to respond to the shocking claim and said in a statement to O’Keefe: “This individual worked at the Department of Justice as a program analyst over fifteen years ago.

“He has no understanding of, or access to, the underlying facts in this investigation. His statements should not be considered accurate.”

They added: “It is disgusting that someone would further exploit victims of sexual abuse by fabricating stories for their personal benefit.”

Top Intelligence Officials Contradicted Brennan: ‘No Intelligence’ To Support Key Russia Hoax Claim

Top officials working on an intelligence community analysis about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election were overruled by CIA Director John Brennan, according to records exclusively reviewed by The Federalist. The records are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Brennan and other top intelligence officials for their roles in launching the Russia collusion hoax.

The dispute was over the “key judgment” in a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Russia had interfered in the election specifically because Putin and the Russian government “aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.”

The senior intelligence officials pointed out the lack of evidence to substantiate the claim. “We have no intelligence to directly support this ‘aspiration’ point,” said one member of the small group of individuals working with Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on the assessment of Russian activity in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

The official worried that the inclusion of the claim would “open the IC to a line of very politicized inquiry that is sure to come up when this paper is shared with the Hill.” A recent CIA analysis of the inclusion of this disputed “key judgment” noted the risks of including poorly supported judgments since skeptical readers are inclined to “reject an entire analysis if a single judgment appears exaggerated, biased, or unsupported.”

The experts did not disagree that Russia had continued its practice of attempting to sow chaos in presidential elections. They believed the intelligence indicated Russia sought to weaken presumptive winner Hillary Clinton and those efforts may have indirectly helped Trump. But they were concerned about the lack of evidence for the claim that became a cornerstone of the Russia collusion narrative, in which Trump was accused of conspiring with Russia to steal the 2016 election.

WATCH: The REAL Reason the Epstein ‘Client List’ Is Never Getting Released

Jeffry Epstein’s rumored ‘client list’ will never be released to the public by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), according to a former agent.

John Kiriakou, an ex-CIA officer who was jailed in 2012 for leaking the agency’s waterboarding interrogation techniques used at Guantanamo Bay, shared his views on the controversial pedophile – including his opinion on the alleged list of clients.

Kiriakou, who sat down for an episode of Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, told the media personality that he believes the alleged list will not see the light of day because it holds incredibly valuable intelligence information that the CIA would never hand over simply because the public demanded to see it.

The CIA whistleblower, who works for Sputnik- a Russian government news outlet – specifically said he believes that Epstein, 66, was employed by Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad – and that is why the list will not come out.

‘I believe that he was a Mossad access agent. It makes perfect sense to me,’ Kiriakou said. It has never been established that Epstein had ties to Mossad.

‘Jeffrey Epstein, in my view, is a textbook case of an access agent. I’ve said this before, but I think it’s important and it bears repeating,’ he told Bet-David.

CIA Review Reveals Obama Pushed Intel Community To Launch Trump-Russia Witch Hunt

President Barack Obama. Not CIA Director John Brennan. Not Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. And not FBI Director James Comey. But President Barack Obama. The 44th president of the United States directed the intelligence community to interfere in the peaceful transition of power to his successor — Donald Trump. And for that Obama should forevermore be considered a pariah in presidential history.

Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe released the agency’s review of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.” The CIA’s review exposed extensive problems with “the procedures and analytic tradecraft employed” by the intelligence community in crafting the ICA, revealing at the same time the role Brennan, Clapper, and Comey played in the corrupt process.

However, the CIA’s review of the ICA on Russia’s targeting of the 2016 election exposed something much more scandalous: President Obama was behind the entire plot to portray Putin as seeking to help Trump win the 2016 general election.

Yes, the CIA report showed, in the words of CIA Director Ratcliffe, “how Brennan and Clapper and Comey manipulated [and] silenced all the career professionals and railroaded the process.” But they were merely doing the dirty work for Obama, which is why CIA Director Ratcliffe stressed: “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump.’”

While last week’s CIA report did not finger President Obama with the same neon-light arrow deployed by Director Ratcliffe, the details included confirm that yes, “[t]his was Obama;” and not merely that Obama knew or condoned the politicalization of the intelligence community, but that the former president directed the politicalization.

John Brennan May Face Perjury Issues After CIA Director Ratcliffe’s Review Uncovers Russia Hoax Testimony Problems

Former CIA Director John Brennan may be exposed to perjury problems after current CIA Director John Ratcliffe released an internal review of the agency’s Russia hoax materials, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

Last week, Ratcliffe declassified and publicly released an internal CIA review of what is known as the “Intelligence Community Assessment,” or simply ICA, of the claims that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

“[President Donald Trump] has trusted me with helping to end weaponization of US intelligence,” Ratcliffe posted on X when releasing the review. “Today’s report underscores that the 2016 IC Assessment was conducted through an atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey.”

For years, Republicans and Trump allies have claimed that the ICA from 2016—when Brennan led the CIA—was flawed because its findings were based in part on the highly political Christopher Steele Dossier. The Steele Dossier, which was funded by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, was filled with blatant misinformation and inaccuracies like the false claims of “pee tapes” about Trump. The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC) later paid a combined six-figure fine to settle a Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigation into whether or not it properly reported the payments made through Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS to create the Steele Dossier.

Shadowy CIA Operative Interacted With Lee Harvey Oswald Months Before JFK Assassination, Newly Released Docs Show

A shadowy CIA operative specializing in psychological warfare interacted with Lee Harvey Oswald ahead of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination — and then ran interference against congressional investigators probing whether the US spy agency was connected to the killing, newly disclosed documents show.

CIA officer George Joannides assumed the alias “Howard Gleber” in January 1963, and led an American effort to infiltrate anti-communist Cuban student groups in the year leading up to JFK’s killing that November, according to government documents released Thursday and reviewed by Axios.

Oswald, 23 at the time, got into a fight with members of one of those student groups — the DRE, an organization vehemently-opposed to dictator Fidel Castro’s rule over Cuba — while he was handing out pro-communist leaflets in New Orleans nearly four months before the JFK assassination in Texas.

That fight publicly exposed Oswald as a Castro-sympathizer — with news outlets covering a hearing that followed, and the soon-to-be killer later debating DRE members on a local television broadcast, according to Axios.

A year before that exposure, the Pentagon was looking for excuses to attack Cuba — including plotting a false flag plan known as Operation Northwoods, which drew-up a fake assault on the US that would be blamed on the communist nation.

CIA Review Blasts John Brennan’s Role In Launching Russian Collusion Hoax

The intelligence community assessment weaponized by Democrats, corporate media, and the deep state to carry the Russia collusion hoax into President Donald Trump’s first term was fueled by former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan. Now a new Central Intelligence Agency review concludes that Brennan overrode internal concerns to claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

The June 2025 review, commissioned by Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe in May, scrutinized the “highest classified version” of a December 2016 assessment titled “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”

It finds that the analysis touted by Brennan as evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin hoped to help his preferred political candidate Trump win the 2016 election was rushed, restricted in its access, and then far too widely disseminated for a highly classified report. Further, the report’s developers “marginalize[d]” the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and others to advance a partisan get Trump narrative. In fact, according to the review, the ICA had “a higher confidence level than was justified.”

“Central to the judgment that Putin ‘aspired’ to help Trump win was one highly classified CIA report. Brennan had tightly restricted access to this information within CIA; it had been collected in July but not disseminated in CIA serialized reporting until the week of 19 December.”

Similarly, the review notes that “media leaks” indicated intelligence agencies “had already reached definitive conclusions risked creating an anchoring bias” before “work on the assessment even began.” (Read more from “CIA Review Blasts John Brennan’s Role In Launching Russian Collusion Hoax” HERE)
