John Kiriakou on John Brennan, CIA "Kill List", and "Lawfare"

Brennan's Investigation and "Russiagate"

• 🎯 The FBI has launched a probe into former CIA Director John Brennan, a development the speaker believes is long overdue.
• 💡 The "Russiagate" narrative is described as fake, lacking any actual evidence, and was pushed by figures like Brennan, Hillary Clinton, and James Comey.
• ⚠️ The speaker argues that Brennan agitated for a coup and that the potential overthrow of a democratically elected president was a shocking danger.

"Lawfare" and the "Kiriakou Case"

• ⚖️ John Brennan is accused of weaponizing "lawfare," using the speaker's case as a template for the Democratic Party's policy.
• 📄 Memos allegedly show Brennan urging then-Attorney General Eric Holder to charge Kiriakou with espionage, despite Holder's staff believing he did not commit the crime.
• 💥 Brennan's alleged directive to "charge him anyway and make him defend himself" led to Kiriakou's bankruptcy, loss of family, job, and two years of freedom.

CIA Operations and "Kill Lists"

• 🕵️ The "White House plumbers" unit is described as actual fixers, potentially including assassins.
• 🗓️ John Brennan reportedly led a "Tuesday morning kill list" meeting at the White House with CIA reps to decide on targets for assassination that week.
• 🎯 These lists were then presented to President Obama for final approval, with "Global Resources and Special Activities" teams carrying out the missions.

Power Dynamics and Distractions

• 🧠 Americans underestimate the power held by Washington figures and the CIA's extensive files on citizens.
• 📰 The investigation into Brennan and Comey is seen as a strategic distraction from other major news, such as the Epstein scandal.
• 🔒 Many officials, including senators on intelligence committees, are afraid of losing their security clearances, indicating a fear of the agencies they are supposed to oversee.
