The Justice Department is turning up the heat on former CIA Director John Brennan with a flurry of grand jury subpoenas in the works.
The latest buzz out of Miami and Washington, D.C., reveals that DOJ officials are actively preparing to issue these subpoenas as part of a deepening investigation into Brennan, alongside a parallel probe into former FBI Director James Comey, as Fox News reports.
Let’s rewind a bit to early July, when Fox News first broke the story that both Brennan and Comey were under scrutiny for their actions during a contentious period of American politics.
Fast forward to this week, and the investigation into Brennan has kicked into a higher gear, with U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, overseeing the effort.
While the Justice Department has stayed tight-lipped when approached by Fox News, the mere mention of grand jury subpoenas suggests that evidence is being gathered at a rapid pace.
It’s worth noting that while Brennan hasn’t been indicted yet, the presentation of evidence in South Florida hints at a potential storm on the horizon for the former CIA chief.
Meanwhile, James Comey, Brennan’s counterpart at the FBI during a particularly turbulent time, isn’t catching any breaks—he’s already been indicted on charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding.
Comey’s trial is slated for early next year, and his legal battle serves as a stark reminder of the accountability some conservatives have long demanded for those in the upper echelons of power.
Could Brennan be next? That’s the million-dollar question as this probe unfolds.
Last month, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, added fuel to the fire by referring Brennan to the Justice Department for potential prosecution.
Jordan didn’t mince words, accusing Brennan of misleading Congress during a 2023 testimony about the CIA’s use of the controversial Steele dossier—a collection of reports from 2016 alleging ties between President Donald Trump and Russia.
“Brennan willfully and intentionally made false statements to Congress,” Jordan declared, pointing to discrepancies in Brennan’s claims about the CIA’s stance on the dossier’s inclusion in a 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election meddling.
Let’s unpack that dossier for a moment—it’s a series of documents compiled by a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, that became a lightning rod in debates over government overreach and political bias.
For many conservatives, the dossier represents a troubling example of unverified claims being weaponized by federal agencies, and Jordan’s push to hold Brennan accountable strikes a chord with those skeptical of the so-called deep state.
While the progressive crowd might argue this is just political theater, the subpoenas and ongoing probes suggest there’s more than just smoke here—there might be a real fire worth investigating, and it’s high time we get to the bottom of who knew what and when.
