(PJ Media)—The unraveling of the Russia collusion narrative has taken another explosive turn, and the implications for the intelligence community are as damning as ever.
Earlier this week, we learned that the FBI opened criminal investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey over their roles in orchestrating the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. Both men are now under scrutiny for allegedly making false statements to Congress and potentially engaging in deeper misconduct tied to the origins of the scheme. A newly surfaced CIA memo may offer damning evidence, strongly suggesting that both Brennan and Comey committed perjury.
Brennan and Comey both claimed under oath that the Steele Dossier was irrelevant to the Intelligence Community Assessment’s (ICA) findings. Brennan repeatedly told Congress, “It was not in any way used as a basis for the Intelligence Community Assessment that was done. It was not.” He even claimed, “I had not even read the document.” Other Obama-era officials echoed these denials, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who stated, “The IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions.”
But the new CIA memo, which Director John Ratcliffe commissioned, exposes these claims as, at best, misleading and, at worst, outright perjury. The memo reveals that Brennan actively pushed to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA, despite internal warnings from senior CIA analysts.
One Deputy Director for Analysis warned Brennan that including the dossier “risked the entire credibility of the paper.” Yet Brennan ignored these concerns, seemingly more interested in the dossier’s alignment with prevailing anti-Trump theories than in its glaring lack of corroboration.
