The
FBI is conducting interviews with current and former CIA officers as part of an investigation into ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s role in an intelligence assessment that found
Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation.
FBI agents began questioning employees last week at CIA headquarters in Langley,
Virginia, the person said.
The interviews appeared to focus solely on Brennan and his statements to Congress, and the decision to include an
unverified dossier about
President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia in a 2017 intelligence assessment about Moscow’s election meddling, the person said.
Brennan has said he opposed including the dossier but was overruled by the
FBI director at the time, James Comey.
Reuters
first reported on the FBI interviews.
The FBI declined to comment. The CIA declined to comment and referred questions to the
Justice Department.
A lawyer for Brennan did not respond to a request for comment.

Brennan’s lawyers have denied Jordan’s allegations.
The former CIA director’s attorneys said in a December letter that they were advised by prosecutors from the office of the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida that Brennan is a target of a grand jury investigation in connection with the intelligence community assessment about Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Brennan was head of the CIA from 2013 to 2017.
Brennan testified before Congress in person, meaning that any case against him for false statements would normally have to be brought before a federal grand jury in Washington, where grand jurors have been skeptical of some cases brought by the Trump administration. Earlier this year, a federal grand jury
rejected an attempt to indict six sitting members of Congress over a social media post that called upon members of the military and intelligence communities not to obey unlawful orders.
Commentary:
Comey and Brennan have been in depth interview guests with treacly sweet questions on the leftist news shows.
Accidentally channel surfed to see Brennan and made it to the sink just in time as I bent my head down into it.
If part of the misery of my being alive is Comey and Brennan and the rest get away with everything and laugh at good people like me, then it will be difficult to make up an excuse for staying alive.
