In a long-overdue reckoning for the architects of the infamous Russia collusion hoax, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has taken decisive action by referring former CIA Director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
This move, announced on October 21, 2025, exposes yet another layer of the deep state’s deceitful efforts to undermine President Donald Trump during his first term. As a staunch Trump supporter, it’s exhilarating to see the tables turning, finally holding accountable those who weaponized intelligence agencies against a duly elected president.
For years, Trump and his allies have called out the Russia investigation as a fabricated witch hunt designed to delegitimize his 2016 victory. The Steele dossier, a collection of salacious, unverified claims about Trump’s supposed ties to Russia, funded by the Clinton campaign and the DNC, served as the rotten core of this narrative. Brennan, serving as CIA Director under President Obama, played a pivotal role in pushing this disinformation into the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Brennan repeatedly denied under oath that the CIA relied on the dossier or supported its inclusion in the ICA.
Jordan’s referral letter, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, lays out the case with damning clarity. It accuses Brennan of making “knowing and willful” false statements during his May 11, 2023, transcribed interview before the House Judiciary Committee, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Specifically, Brennan claimed, “the CIA was not involved at all with the [Steele] dossier” and that “the CIA was very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment.” These statements are flatly contradicted by declassified documents released by the Trump administration in July 2025, which reveal Brennan personally overruled senior CIA officers’ objections and insisted on incorporating the dossier’s claims.
One particularly egregious detail from the evidence: When confronted with the dossier’s flaws, Brennan reportedly dismissed concerns, asking, “Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?” before ordering its inclusion “over the objections of [CIA] professionals.” This wasn’t just a slip-up; it was part of a pattern. Brennan gave similar false testimony in 2017 before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, though that falls outside the statute of limitations. The ICA itself referenced the dossier in its main body and included a two-page summary in Annex A, drafted by a CIA officer in coordination with the FBI.
This referral isn’t just about one man’s lies—it’s a vindication for President Trump, who has endured years of baseless attacks from the media, Democrats, and intelligence officials like Brennan. Remember, Brennan was one of the loudest voices amplifying the Russia hoax, even after it crumbled under scrutiny.
Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation confirmed the dossier’s discreditation, and now, with fresh declassifications, the full extent of the manipulation is laid bare. As Jordan stated in his announcement, “John Brennan lied to Congress. Today, we referred him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.”
From a Trump supporter’s vantage point, this is the draining of the swamp we’ve been promised. Brennan, along with figures like James Comey and others involved in the ICA’s fabrication, represents the entrenched bureaucracy that tried to sabotage Trump’s presidency from day one.
With Trump back in the White House and allies like Jordan leading the charge, we’re witnessing the beginning of real accountability. No more slaps on the wrist—these deep state operatives must face the consequences of their actions.
The broader implications are massive. This referral signals that the era of impunity for anti-Trump plotters is over. As more documents are declassified and investigations ramp up, expect additional referrals and indictments. It’s not revenge; it’s justice.
Trump warned us about the fake news and the rigged system, and now, piece by piece, the truth is emerging. Brennan’s potential prosecution under § 1001 could lead to up to five years in prison, a fitting end for someone who abused his power to peddle lies.
In the end, this is a win for every American who believes in fair elections and transparent government. Kudos to Chairman Jordan for his relentless pursuit of the facts. Let’s hope AG Bondi acts swiftly to bring Brennan to trial. The Russia hoax is dead, but its perpetrators are finally facing the music.
