The walls are finally closing in on two of the most powerful men behind the Trump-Russia hoax. According to multiple Department of Justice sources confirmed by *Fox News* on July 8, 2025, former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan are officially under criminal investigation for their roles in pushing what is now being exposed as a politically motivated conspiracy to take down President Donald J. Trump.

This latest development comes just days after current CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced on X that the CIA had completed a bombshell internal review of the original 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), which baselessly claimed that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to win the presidency. According to Ratcliffe, that assessment was produced through “an atypical & corrupt process” driven by Brennan and Comey, under the deeply partisan cloud of the Obama-Biden administration.

Let that sink in: the top intelligence agencies of the United States—meant to protect national security—were hijacked and weaponized to launch an unprecedented assault on an incoming president. And now, nearly a decade later, the evidence is finally being brought to light.

Sources say CIA Director Ratcliffe referred key evidence to FBI Director Kash Patel, triggering a full criminal probe into the actions of Brennan and Comey. The CIA’s internal review didn’t hold back either. It described the infamous Steele Dossier—cited as justification for the surveillance of Trump associates—as “highly politicized and rife with issues.” Despite clear flaws, Brennan continued pushing it simply because it fit his preferred anti-Trump narrative.

This wasn’t just poor judgment. It was a deliberate, coordinated effort to mislead the American public, smear a duly-elected president, and tip the balance of power in Washington. The review further uncovered “multiple procedural anomalies,” including a rushed production timeline, excessive compartmentalization, and improper involvement by top-level agency heads—all red flags for manipulation and misconduct.

According to the CIA, these deliberate breaches of protocol resulted in “departures from standard practices” that deeply compromised the integrity of the Intelligence Community Assessment. That’s the same ICA that Democrats and their media allies paraded around for years as “proof” that Trump was a Russian puppet. Now it’s being revealed as little more than political propaganda wrapped in the veneer of intelligence.

Ratcliffe, who was handpicked by Trump to restore integrity to the intelligence community, didn’t mince words. “All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper, and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump,” he posted on X.

The quiet heroes in all this? The career CIA officers who, despite immense pressure, conducted a brave and thorough review. Their findings could now lead to the accountability that’s been long overdue.

The so-called “Russia collusion” story wasn’t just a lie. It was an attempted coup using federal intelligence agencies as political weapons. And now, with the truth finally emerging, the American people may finally get the justice they were denied for nearly a decade.

Accountability is coming—and it can’t come soon enough.
