Former CIA Director Brennan subpoenaed to testify in federal Trump conspiracy case
The former CIA director got a date. A Florida grand jury wants the decade.
Summary
- Fox News reports attorney Ken Wainstein disclosed in a Monday filing that prosecutors last Thursday served former CIA Director John Brennan a subpoena to appear October 15 before a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida.
- Wainstein said the subpoena is part of a far-reaching criminal probe into whether government officials who investigated President Trump over the past decade conspired to deprive him of his civil rights.
- A prosecutor also told Wainstein that Brennan remains a target of a separate Washington investigation into whether he lied to Congress in 2023, which Brennan denies. The same day, Joe diGenova, who led the inquiry informally called the grand-conspiracy investigation, resigned. The Justice Department has not named a replacement.
- The disclosure came hours before a Washington hearing on Brennan's lawsuit seeking an order to preserve records so he can argue vindictive prosecution if indicted. John Solomon has said an indictment could come within weeks.
Commentary
A night-shift dad still wipes copier dust off a badge and knows a grand jury date is supposed to be for the person who broke the file, not a shield for the person who wrote it. He did not pay the levy so a former spy chief could treat a decade of investigations like a closed club.
Thursday subpoena. October 15. Fort Pierce. Separate 2023 Congress file. The honest household already paid the court. The linoleum in that jury room still waits.
Look every working father who still clocks a dock after a night shift in the eye and answer this: if the civil-rights statute already covers a conspiracy against a president, who still owns the next sealed envelope in that district?
Comments
Thursday serve. October 15. Fort Pierce. Hold that chain.
I stood a gate so a civil-rights statute still cut both ways. A former director is not exempt.
Brennan. Wainstein. diGenova resignation. 2023 Congress file. Print the four.
Allied services still treat a lying-to-Congress file as a crime, not a memoir chapter.
Kurt Olsen still on the team. Preserve-records suit in Washington. File both.
I still punch in at 2 a.m. I want the next decade of files in a jury box, not in a memoir.
A target letter on a 2023 hearing is not gossip. It is a warning the street already paid.
A resigned lead prosecutor is a second border around a grand jury. The first statute should have been enough.
Fox printed October 15, Fort Pierce, and the two probes. Argue those nouns.
Keep the date. Keep the records. A former CIA badge is not immunity.
