BREAKING: The FBI Launches Criminal Investigation Into..
It’s finally happening.
John Brennan and James Comey—two of the most powerful Obama-era intelligence chiefs—are now facing criminal investigations.
Their role in pushing the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative derailed a presidency and deceived the nation.
Sources inside the Justice Department confirm that former CIA Director Brennan is under investigation for allegedly lying to Congress.
Ex-FBI Director Comey is also the subject of an ongoing probe.
Their roles in the origin and manipulation of the Trump-Russia hoax are being scrutinized, years after millions of Americans demanded accountability.
Brennan is accused of pushing the phony Steele dossier into official intelligence assessments.
CIA Russia experts warned the document was so flawed it didn’t meet even “the most basic tradecraft standards.”
“Jasmine Crockett didn’t just insult Trump,” Leavitt said during her White House briefing. “She smeared over 70 million Americans who believe in freedom, God, secure borders, and the Constitution. Calling them mentally ill is not just false—it’s dangerous.”
Brennan ignored the warnings and formalized his demand in writing, insisting the fake dossier be included anyway.
James Comey, for his part, did the same.
The CIA’s review makes clear: FBI leadership under Comey pressured the intelligence community to embed the Steele dossier in their final report on Russian election interference.
The FBI “repeatedly pushed” for its inclusion.
These two didn’t just make bad calls. They rigged the process.
Even worse, Brennan later told Congress under oath that the Steele dossier “wasn’t part of the corpus of intelligence” used in the Russia assessment.
But a newly surfaced email shows that he pushed the dossier hard, despite being warned it could destroy the report’s credibility.
And why did they push it so aggressively? Because it wasn’t about national security.
It was about kneecapping President Trump before he was even sworn in.
“This was Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan deciding, ‘We’re going to screw Trump,’” former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told the press.
“They all knew what they were doing.”
Millions of tax dollars were wasted. Reputations were destroyed.
“Jasmine Crockett should visit a Trump rally before shooting her mouth off,” Leavitt challenged.
“She’ll meet grandmothers, veterans, farmers, teachers, truckers—all proud Americans who just want their country back. These are the people she called mentally ill. What an absolute disgrace.”
And for what? To push Hillary Clinton’s opposition research as gospel truth.
Clinton and the DNC paid Fusion GPS to dig up dirt.
Fusion hired British ex-spy Christopher Steele. Steele gave them fiction.
Senator Josh Hawley demanded action: “If Brennan and Comey lied to Congress or weaponized their agencies against a political opponent, they should be prosecuted—no exceptions, no excuses.”
This scandal is bigger than Watergate.
It poisoned public trust, warped the 2016 election aftermath, and set the tone for years of baseless attacks on a sitting president.
The investigations are underway.
Now the question is, will the justice system do its job, or will the same people who buried the truth for years bury it again?
Brennan and Comey must be held accountable.
No one is above the law, not even the architects of one of the most dishonest political smear campaigns in American history.
IT ALL CAME OUT' – GAVIN NEWSOM BLOWS UP AFTER BEING EXPOSED LIVE ON AIR
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — As the 2028 presidential election cycle rapidly approaches, life is getting increasingly complicated for California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The ambitious Democrat, widely expected to declare his candidacy for his party's highest nomination, is currently drowning in a massive, rapidly expanding ethics scandal centered on hundreds of millions of dollars in questionable corporate donations. As federal investigators continue to circle both the governor and his wife, First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the sheer scale of his fundraising tactics is raising serious alarm bells across the political spectrum.
At the absolute center of this controversy is Newsom’s unprecedented and unapologetic use of "behested payments"—a controversial practice in California law that allows elected officials to personally solicit massive, unlimited donations from deep-pocketed corporations, wealthy individuals, and labor unions to fund specific charities or government initiatives.
While technically legal under the state's highly permissive rules, government watchdogs and ethics experts are fiercely arguing that these payments represent a glaring, dangerous loophole. It essentially allows special interests—many of whom have active, highly lucrative business before the state of California—to gain massive political influence and curry favor with the governor, entirely outside the strict boundaries of traditional campaign finance laws.
The $347 Million Man
According to official California disclosure records, the scale at which Newsom utilizes this loophole is utterly staggering. Since 2011, Newsom has reported soliciting more than $347 million in behested payments.
To put that massive figure into perspective, data from the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) reveals that all elected officials statewide combined directed roughly $556 million in behested payments between 2011 and 2026. Newsom alone accounted for nearly two-thirds—a whopping 62%—of that total.
By stark contrast, his predecessor, former Democratic Governor Jerry Brown, reportedly solicited a relatively modest $35 million in behested payments during his entire tenure.
"Behested payments are ripe for abuse," warned Sean McMorris of California Common Cause, pointing out the obvious ethical minefield created when powerful elected officials lean on organizations that have direct business before the government.
The Optics of Influence Peddling
The ethical concerns are not just hypothetical; they are rooted in a pattern of massive corporate donations followed by highly favorable state actions.
Public reports have raised serious questions about several major donors who opened their checkbooks at Newsom's behest and later benefited immensely from state contracts or policy decisions. For example, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare giant Blue Shield donated a staggering $20 million to initiatives heavily supported by Newsom. Shortly thereafter, the corporation was miraculously awarded a highly lucrative, no-bid state contract related to vaccine distribution.
Similarly, the Kaiser Foundation contributed nearly $10 million before securing a significantly expanded role in California’s massive Medi-Cal program. In another instance, the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria donated millions to organizations associated with the governor and his wife’s initiatives. Later, they benefited significantly from favorable state decisions involving tribal gaming matters, including efforts to block a rival casino from opening nearby.
While proving an explicit, legal quid pro quo is notoriously difficult, critics argue that the actual transaction is irrelevant. The concern is that the system inherently encourages and rewards a "pay-to-play" culture. Assemblyman David Tangipa slammed the practice, describing behested payments as a blatant form of "political influence peddling," boldly arguing that just because the system is legal does not mean it isn't deeply corrupt.
The Family Business and Federal Heat
The issue has drawn even fiercer scrutiny because millions of these corporate dollars have been funneled directly into organizations tightly linked to the governor’s inner circle. Approximately $4.8 million in behested donations were routed to the California Partners Project, a nonprofit organization co-founded by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. For many critics, corporate money flowing into a charity run by the governor's wife creates, at the very least, a glaring appearance of a massive conflict of interest.
The intense debate over this influence-peddling loophole comes at a highly precarious time for the governor. Newsom recently acknowledged that both he and his wife are currently the subjects of multiple, ongoing federal investigations. While neither has been charged with any wrongdoing, and the Department of Justice has remained completely tight-lipped about the exact nature of the inquiries, the specter of a federal probe casts a dark cloud over his 2028 presidential ambitions.
A "Laughable Slap on the Wrist"
Adding insult to injury for government transparency advocates, Newsom recently agreed to pay a $31,500 ethics fine handed down by the state's campaign finance watchdog, the FPPC. The fine was levied after the commission found that Newsom flagrantly failed to legally report 36 separate behested payments—totaling more than $5.6 million—within the required 30-day timeframe.
The late disclosures involved massive corporate donations solicited during the 2024 and 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, pulling in vast sums from corporate titans like BlackRock, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Anthem Blue Cross. While Newsom's office brushed off the violation as a mere paperwork oversight during an emergency, critics blasted the $31,500 penalty as a "laughable slap on the wrist" for a wealthy politician manipulating a quarter-billion-dollar shadow fundraising system. This marks the second time Newsom has been fined for late reporting of these payments, having previously paid a $13,000 fine in 2024.
Supporters of the governor are quick to point out that these behested donations have funded critical public initiatives, including wildfire relief and charitable causes. However, the public benefit of those projects does absolutely nothing to eliminate the massive concerns surrounding transparency, corporate influence, and the ability of powerful special interests to funnel unlimited cash into causes promoted by the state's most powerful executive.
As Newsom attempts to position himself as the future of the Democratic Party, the growing scandal surrounding his $347 million loophole is forcing a national reckoning. The American people are left to wonder: if this is how Gavin Newsom runs California, how exactly would he run the country?
