The deep state thought they’d buried their crimes forever.
But President Trump’s new FBI Director isn’t letting them off the hook.
And Kash Patel just unearthed one Russiagate secret that has John Brennan scrambling.
Spy court gives Trump’s FBI Director the green light
Here’s what happened behind closed doors in Washington, D.C.
The secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court — the same court that rubber-stamped the bogus Carter Page warrants — just handed Trump’s FBI Director a golden opportunity.
On June 17, Judge Anthony Trenga signed off on letting Kash Patel’s team dig through mountains of classified documents tied to the Carter Page FISA mess.
And this isn’t just any ordinary document review.
We’re talking about materials that could finally expose the full scope of how the FBI, CIA, and Obama administration tried to destroy Trump’s presidency before it even began.
Kevin J. O’Connor from the Justice Department’s National Security Division told the court that "the government … seeks an order permitting the use or disclosure of information acquired from one or more of the four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications targeting Carter W. Page."
That’s government-speak for: "We want to look at everything."
The DOJ assembled a 25-person task force to handle this massive undertaking.
These folks will be working around the clock to review and prepare documents that Congress has been demanding for years.
Why Republican leaders are fired up about this
Back in March, Sen. Chuck Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson sent Patel a letter that basically said: "We’ve been waiting since 2023 for these documents, and we’re not waiting anymore."
They want to see 165 transcribed interviews from the inspector general’s investigation.
That’s 165 sworn testimonies that could contain bombshell revelations about how the deep state operated.
Rep. Jim Jordan isn’t messing around either.
He told Patel that "the Committee still must fully assess and understand the lengths to which the FBI went to interfere in the 2016 presidential election."
Jordan’s asking for everything — and I mean everything — related to the Steele dossier and Operation Crossfire Hurricane.
But here’s the kicker: Jordan also wants to see something called the "CF–CH Comparison" document.
This little-known report supposedly shows how the FBI treated the Clinton investigation versus the Trump investigation.
Want to bet which one got the kid-glove treatment and which one got the full-court press?
The inspector general’s damning findings that everyone forgot
Remember when Michael Horowitz dropped his bombshell report back in 2019?
The guy found 17 — count ’em, 17 — major screw-ups in how the FBI handled the Carter Page FISA warrants.
But the media buried that story faster than you could say "Russia collusion."
Horowitz discovered that when the FBI interviewed Christopher Steele, his story fell apart.
The interview "highlighted discrepancies between Steele’s presentation of information in the election reporting and the views of his Primary Sub-source" and "revealed bias against Trump."¹
Translation: Steele’s main source basically said, "I never told him that stuff, and by the way, I can’t stand Trump."
Yet somehow, the FBI kept using this garbage to spy on an American citizen.
Igor Danchenko, the guy who fed Steele most of his information, "contradicted the allegations of a ‘well-developed conspiracy’ in" Steele’s dossier.
So the whole thing was built on lies from day one.
And don’t forget — Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent two years and millions of taxpayer dollars only to conclude that his investigation "did not establish" any criminal Trump-Russia collusion.
But by then, the damage was done.
The media had spent years pushing this false narrative, and half the country believed Trump was a Russian agent.
Hillary’s dirty tricks operation finally exposed
Here’s where it gets really interesting.
John Durham’s investigation revealed something that should’ve been front-page news everywhere: Hillary Clinton personally approved a plan to frame Trump.
The intelligence showed Clinton’s "approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers" to "stir up a scandal" against Trump by "tying him" to "Putin and the Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee."
This wasn’t some rogue operation by campaign staffers.
This came from the top.
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and other senior officials were briefed on what Durham called the "Clinton Plan intelligence" in the summer of 2016.
They knew Hillary was cooking up this scheme, and they did nothing to stop it.
In fact, John Brennan thought it was important enough to send a formal written memo to FBI Director James Comey and agent Peter Strzok in September 2016.
But here’s the really infuriating part: "Unlike the FBI’s opening of a full investigation of unknown members of the Trump campaign based on raw, uncorroborated information, in this separate matter involving a purported Clinton campaign plan, the FBI never opened any type of inquiry, issued any taskings, employed any analytical personnel, or produced any analytical products in connection with the information."
They had evidence that Hillary was orchestrating a dirty tricks campaign, and they ignored it.
Meanwhile, they launched a massive counterintelligence operation against Trump based on complete nonsense.
John Brennan’s moment of reckoning
This brings us to the star of our show: former CIA Director John Brennan.
The guy who’s now collecting paychecks from NBC while dodging potential criminal charges.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe just released a scathing review that basically accuses Brennan of corrupting the entire intelligence assessment process.
The review found that "the decision by agency heads to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment."
But it gets worse.
The report revealed that "the ICA authors and multiple senior CIA managers – including the two senior leaders of the CIA mission center responsible for Russia – strongly opposed including the dossier, asserting that it did not meet even the most basic tradecraft standards."
So Brennan’s own people were telling him this was garbage, and he included it anyway.
The CIA’s Deputy Director for Analysis even warned Brennan in writing that including the dossier would risk "the credibility of the entire paper."
Brennan ignored him.
Why? Because "despite these objections, Brennan showed a preference for narrative consistency over analytical soundness."
He wanted to hurt Trump more than he wanted to tell the truth.
The legal noose tightens around Brennan
Here’s where things get really interesting for Brennan.
Unlike most of the other Obama-era officials, Brennan didn’t get a pardon from Joe Biden.
That means he’s still vulnerable to prosecution.
And the statute of limitations clock is ticking.
Brennan testified before the House Judiciary Committee in May 2023, which means prosecutors have until May 2028 to bring charges under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 — the federal law that makes it a crime to lie to Congress.
He also spoke with Durham’s team in August 2020, giving prosecutors until August of this year to act on anything from that interview.
But here’s the bombshell: Ratcliffe has reportedly sent a criminal referral to Kash Patel about Brennan’s conduct.
That’s not just a slap on the wrist.
That’s a formal recommendation for criminal prosecution.
What this means for America
For eight years, the American people have been told that the Russia investigation was legitimate.
We were told that our intelligence agencies were just doing their jobs.
We were told that anyone who questioned the process was a conspiracy theorist.
Now we’re finding out that the whole thing was rotten from the beginning.
The FBI used fake intelligence to spy on American citizens.
The CIA corrupted the intelligence assessment process to hurt a presidential candidate.
And senior officials in the Obama administration knew about Hillary’s dirty tricks operation and did nothing to stop it.
This isn’t just about politics anymore.
This is about whether we have a justice system that applies the law equally to everyone.
Kash Patel’s document review could finally give us the evidence we need to hold these people accountable.
And with John Brennan potentially facing criminal charges, we might finally see some real consequences for the biggest political scandal in American history.
The truth is coming out, and there’s nothing the deep state can do to stop it.
