JUST IN: Ex CIA Director John Brennan Sues Trump Administration Over Russiagate Probe – Lawsuit Assigned to Anti-Trump Judge Jia Cobb

Former CIA Director John Brennan filed a lawsuit against President Trump, the Justice Department, and senior administration officials on Wednesday over the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into him.

Brennan filed the lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, claiming that he has been “vindictively singled out for investigation and prosecution.”

He is seeking a court order requiring the White House, Justice Department, ODNI, and the CIA to “preserve materials and communications potentially relevant to Director Brennan’s legal and constitutional challenges to any future criminal charges.”

The case has been assigned to far-left Biden-appointed Judge Jia Cobb. Cobb previously oversaw Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s lawsuit against the Trump Administration, blocked the Trump Administration from carrying out expedited deportations of illegal aliens under his “Protecting the American People Against Invasion” Executive Order, and blocked Trump’s National Guard deployment in Washington, DC.

“This Administration has adopted a policy of using criminal process and prosecution to punish the President’s perceived adversaries,” the 46-page filing begins. “It is against this backdrop that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John O. Brennan (“Plaintiff” or “Director Brennan”), is being vindictively singled out for investigation and prosecution.”

It further points to the investigation of former Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and an ongoing investigation into Minnesota officials, arguing that, likewise, “the evidence of vindictiveness in this matter is overwhelming.”

“President Trump has been condemning and calling for Director Brennan’s prosecution for years,” it reads. “Given these strong indicia of vindictiveness, Director Brennan expects that he will forcefully challenge any eventual indictment as the product of an unconstitutionally vindictive and selective prosecution.”

The lawsuit cites two ongoing federal investigations, including the grand conspiracy probe into the Russiagate conspiracy. The other investigation centers on whether Brennan lied under oath to the House Judiciary Committee in 2023 by claiming that he opposed including the unverified Steele Dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference.

“Justice Department officials have engaged in a variety of inappropriate activities in their attempt to build a prosecutable case on the hollow foundation of these ‘criminal referrals,’” Brennan’s attorneys argue.

“Among those activities have been the following: issuing pronouncements that evince a preconceived belief in Director Brennan’s guilt; making statements that disclose matters relating to open grand jury investigations, in apparent violation of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e); reportedly removing or sidelining career prosecutors who have balked at using the criminal process to promote the President’s retribution agenda; engaging in apparent forum-shopping by moving the investigations from federal district to federal district in an effort to find a sufficiently pliant United States Attorney; and engaging in apparent judge-shopping.”

“While we cannot comment on the existence, or lack thereof, of an investigation, it is certainly rich that John Brennan is accusing anyone of a ‘retribution campaign,’” A Justice Department spokesperson said in a statement to CBS.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is named in the lawsuit, discussed the investigation on Fox News recently, suggesting that their case is a slam dunk with “hundreds of subpoenas” and “hundreds of witnesses.”

“We’re finding out some incredibly troubling things, and at some point at the right time, that will be made public, and the American people will see exactly what happened to this administration and President Trump over the past decade,” Blanche said.
