Ever wonder how deep the swamp really goes? A stunning internal review from the CIA might just expose former Director John Brennan as a key player in a troubling chapter of political maneuvering.

According to Breitbart News, current CIA Director John Ratcliffe has declassified a report that casts serious doubt on Brennan’s handling of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) regarding alleged Russian interference, during a time when he served under former President Obama. This bombshell suggests Brennan may have misled Congress about his role in pushing flawed information.

The ICA, produced under Brennan’s watch, was meant to assess Russia’s influence on the 2016 election. Yet, Ratcliffe’s review reveals it relied partly on the now-discredited Christopher Steele Dossier—a document funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and riddled with falsehoods like the infamous “pee tapes” narrative. That campaign and the DNC later paid a hefty fine to settle an FEC probe over unreported payments for this dubious work.

Uncovering a Flawed Intelligence Process

Ratcliffe didn’t mince words on X, stating, “Today’s report underscores that the 2016 IC Assessment was conducted through an atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey.” His point cuts to the core of conservative concerns: intelligence agencies should never be pawns in partisan games. It’s a betrayal of trust when they are.

The Steele Dossier’s inclusion in the ICA wasn’t just a minor misstep—it was a deliberate choice by Brennan, according to the declassified review. Career CIA officers warned him against using it due to its glaring flaws, yet he overruled them, writing that he believed the information “warrants inclusion in the report.”

This decision raises eyebrows, especially since Brennan reportedly testified behind closed doors to Congress that he didn’t push for the dossier’s inclusion. If Ratcliffe’s report holds true, that testimony could spell perjury—a legal line no public official should ever cross. It’s not just a mistake; it’s a potential cover-up.

Brennan’s Contradictory Public and Private Stance

Publicly, Brennan played a different tune, as reported by the Wall Street Journal in early 2017. He claimed he hadn’t even read the dossier and gave it “no particular credence,” dismissing it as unworthy of “additional airtime.” Yet the internal review suggests he actively championed its use in the ICA—a contradiction that’s hard to ignore.

Congressional sources speaking to Breitbart News were floored by these revelations. One called Ratcliffe a “genius” for getting career CIA officers to confirm the ICA’s corruption while seemingly handing Brennan up for scrutiny. The implication is clear: the Department of Justice might have a case to pursue if they choose.

Another source familiar with Brennan’s testimony expressed shock at how “lawless” the actions appeared, suggesting Brennan aimed to undermine Trump’s presidency from the start. They noted Ratcliffe’s move brings accountability closer than ever. It’s a rare moment when the curtain gets pulled back on such high-level machinations.

Voices from Within the CIA Speak Out

Former CIA officer Bryan Dean-Wright, who served under Brennan, didn’t hold back, arguing the former director “should rot in prison” based on the Wall Street Journal report and Ratcliffe’s findings. While strong, his sentiment echoes a broader frustration among conservatives who feel intelligence was weaponized against a duly elected leader. It’s a stain on an agency meant to protect, not politicize.

Ratcliffe himself has long been a thorn in Brennan’s side, previously declassifying documents in 2020 as Director of National Intelligence. Those files showed Brennan briefed then-President Obama on Clinton’s alleged plan to link Trump to Russia as a distraction from her email scandal. The pattern of political gamesmanship isn’t new, it seems.

In a recent exclusive with Breitbart News, Ratcliffe called Brennan’s tenure “one of the worst things that has ever happened to the Agency.” He outlined steps to reverse the politicization of intelligence that accelerated under Brennan. It’s a mission many on the right applaud as long overdue.

A Call for Accountability in Intelligence

The stakes here go beyond one man’s legacy—they touch on the integrity of our nation’s intelligence community. When leaders like Brennan allegedly prioritize political agendas over sound tradecraft, as the review claims, public trust erodes. Conservatives have long warned against such overreach, and this report fuels that argument.

Ratcliffe’s release of this internal critique isn’t just a bureaucratic footnote; it’s a rallying cry for those who believe in depoliticizing our institutions. As he put it, “All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump.” That’s a charge that demands answers, not excuses.

Whether the DOJ acts on these perjury concerns remains to be seen, but the evidence laid out by Ratcliffe has shifted the conversation. For conservatives tired of seeing unelected officials meddle in democratic processes, this is a moment to demand reform. It’s not about vengeance—it’s about ensuring the CIA serves America, not partisan interests.
