In this Gateway Pundit article, Cristina Laila argues that former CIA Director John Brennan openly acknowledged the existence of a large internal resistance within federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies opposing President Trump’s directives.
- The article centers on Brennan’s appearance with MSNOW anchor Nicolle Wallace, where he said there remains a “legion of professionals” inside the DOJ, CIA, and other agencies.
- Wallace framed the discussion around what remains “in the system” to slow down what she described as Trump’s politicization of the DOJ and FBI.
- Brennan said these officials are resisting what he characterized as politically motivated prosecutions and activities inconsistent with the duties of the intelligence and law enforcement communities.
- The Gateway Pundit interprets Brennan’s remarks as an admission that “Deep State” operatives are actively resisting Trump from within the federal bureaucracy.
- The article sharply criticizes Wallace, accusing her of ignoring politicized conduct during the Biden administration, including the Mar-a-Lago raid.
- Brennan also warned that recent events have caused long-term damage to American institutions.
- The article notes that Brennan is reportedly a “target” of a grand jury Russiagate probe in South Florida.
- It also states that former FBI Director James Comey and Brennan were previously reported to be under FBI investigation over their roles in Russiagate.
- The article concludes by saying CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan and Comey for prosecution and that U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones is overseeing the investigation.
