*Indictment watch*
The Justice Department on Tuesday evening requested the House Intelligence Committee send federal prosecutors classified interview transcripts from John Brennan’s interview related to his role in the Trump-Russia collusion probe.
Former CIA Director John Brennan is the “target” of the grand jury Russiagate probe in South Florida, according to his lawyers.
Last July, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan and Comey for prosecution last summer.
US Attorney in the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is in charge of the investigation.
Last November, Fox News reported that a federal grand jury subpoenaed John Brennan, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and former FBI counterintelligence special agent Peter Strzok.
Peter Strzok was fired from the FBI in 2018 for violating bureau policies after he launched the ‘Crossfire Hurricane‘ Trump-Russia probe in July 2016.
Strzok and his paramour, Lisa Page, discussed an “insurance policy” to keep Trump out of office.
Other profanity-laced text messages between Strzok and Page showed their contempt for Donald Trump.
Republicans on the House Intel Committee voted Tuesday night to send Brennan’s classified transcripts over to the Department of Justice.
“House Republicans voted behind closed doors Tuesday evening to send classified transcripts tied to former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department, a move that signals the Trump administration is advancing a possible criminal case against one of the most prominent figures in the discredited Russia investigation from President Donald Trump’s first term,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“The vote, taken inside the Capitol’s secure facility, fell along party lines and exposed sharp divisions within the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Republicans backed the transfer of the transcripts at the DOJ’s request, while Democrats objected, arguing they were given insufficient time to review the material after receiving it just days earlier,” the Examiner reported.
Last week it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the Justice Department’s Russiagate investigation.
