DOJ Investigation Two High Profile Former Officials

Well, well, well. Look who’s under the microscope now.

Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey — the dynamic duo behind one of the most controversial intelligence operations in modern U.S. history — are reportedly being investigated by the FBI. You read that right. The very agency that once carried water for these guys is now poking into their roles in the Trump-Russia investigation. You can’t make this stuff up.

The probe comes after CIA Director John Ratcliffe made official criminal referrals to current FBI Director Kash Patel. And while the full scope of these investigations is still under wraps, DOJ officials confirmed that yes, these are real criminal investigations.

Why now? Well, last week, Ratcliffe dropped a declassified “tradecraft review” that casts a long, dark shadow over the entire 2016 Russia probe — you know, the one that dominated headlines, fed endless cable news speculation, and gave birth to the Steele Dossier obsession. Turns out, according to this newly declassified report, the whole thing may have been compromised from day one.

That’s not just a little bureaucratic oopsie. That’s a full-blown credibility crisis.

Let’s rewind the tape. Back in 2016, President Obama tasked Brennan, Comey, and then-DNI James Clapper with leading the charge to investigate Russia’s supposed election interference and any links to Trump’s campaign. But instead of conducting a wide, multi-agency review involving the full intelligence community, this trio went solo — cutting corners, blocking out other agencies, and according to the report, using “highly compressed timelines” and “stringent compartmentation.”

Translation: they rushed it, locked people out, and micromanaged the outcome.

Brennan, in particular, took the wheel and apparently ignored senior CIA officials who warned him not to include the infamous Steele Dossier — the same document that has since been discredited and linked to foreign misinformation — in the final report. But Brennan wasn’t looking for truth. He was chasing “narrative consistency,” which is bureaucrat-speak for “just make it fit.”

Even when confronted by experienced intel veterans about the Dossier’s flaws, Brennan allegedly brushed them aside. Why? Because the Dossier’s wild accusations just happened to align nicely with the anti-Trump theories already floating around.

How convenient.

So now, years later, after a relentless media circus, congressional theatrics, and more political commentary than most people can stomach, the tide may finally be turning. The investigation Ratcliffe kicked off is not about political revenge — it’s about restoring trust in institutions that were, for a time, weaponized against a sitting president.

But here’s where things get even more interesting: we still don’t know what exactly Brennan and Comey are being investigated for. The DOJ isn’t saying. And that silence? That’s not normal. That means this isn’t window dressing. This could be serious.

According to one official, Brennan “violated the public’s trust” — a polite way of saying, he may have used his office to bend reality to fit a political goal.

If that’s true, it raises even bigger questions. About 2016. About Obama’s role. About who really pulled the strings in the early days of the Russia probe.

And the biggest question of all? What happens if the public finally learns how far some were willing to go… to stop Trump?
