NEW: John Brennan Panics, Melts Down After FBI Launches Investigation Into Russia Hoaxers

Former CIA Director John Brennan sat down for an interview with MSNBC, where he claimed that the current investigation into himself and disgraced former FBI Director James Comey for their part in the Russian Collusion Hoax is ripped from “the authoritarian playbook.”

He also compared the move to Nazi Germany before going on to say, “If a president of the United States is willing to weaponize intelligence and justice…we really are in deep, deep trouble!”

Brennan also told the network that he was “clueless” about what the FBI is actually investigating him for. Sources within the Justice Department spoke to Fox News on Tuesday, saying current CIA Director John Ratcliffe is citing how Brennan handled the 2017 Russia collusion investigation as an example of why he’s being looked into.

Speaking with MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on “Deadline: White House,” he revealed that he’d already testified before several congressional committees concerning decisions he made about the probe and stood behind his work.

“I think that the people who actually worked this, both in terms of trying to collect intelligence prior to the election and then the ones who put together the intelligence assessment, they really, I think, showed the best of what the intelligence community and what CIA is made of,” Brennan stated, according to Fox. “So again, I am clueless about what it is exactly that they may be investigating me for.”

Brennan then told Wallace he had not been contacted by the DOJ about the matter.

“So I don’t know whether or not there’s any validity to it,” Brennan explained. “If there was, it was a referral. If there is an investigation, presumably if there is an investigation, then people will be questioned. I would be questioned about it. But again, I’ve had no contact from them.”

The probe into Brennan comes after Ratcliffe released newly declassified reviews of the creation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. This document made allegations that Russia was seeking to influence the 2016 election in order to aid then-candidate Donald Trump. However, the review discovered the creation of the ICA was pushed through quickly and contained “procedural anomalies.”

It also revealed that officials deviated from the usual intelligence standards.

“Records declassified as part of that review further revealed that Brennan did, in fact, push for the dossier to be included in the 2017 ICA. Brennan testified to the House Judiciary Committee in May 2023, however, that he did not believe the dossier should be included in that intelligence product,” the report concluded.
