Former CIA Director John Brennan is one of the most contemptible and shady people in public life. Few have abused their position, power and access with such impunity and hubris.
So it was a pleasure to read reports that the FBI has launched a criminal investigation into Brennan, along with former FBI Director James Comey, for possible wrongdoing related to the Trump campaign-Russia collusion probe, including making false statements to Congress.
No, I’m not under the impression Brennan will end up in prison, where he likely belongs, or even see an indictment.
The statute of limitations has largely sunset.
And even if it hadn’t, the notion there will be any reckoning is remote.
My modest hope is that perhaps a better accounting of his corruption for the historical record will destroy Brennan’s reputation forever, which shouldn’t be a heavy lift.
