The Justice Department is preparing to criminally indict former CIA Director John Brennan — and the prosecutor overseeing the case has already called him a real traitor before a single charge has been filed.
The case is being steered toward a small courthouse in Fort Pierce Florida — home to a single judge — Trump-appointed Aileen Cannon, the same judge who dismissed the classified documents case against Trump and consistently ruled against Special Counsel Jack Smith. Brennan tried to block the Trump administration from handpicking the judge — asking a court to intervene and prevent what his team called blatant venue shopping designed to guarantee a favorable outcome for the prosecution. The man who ran the CIA under Obama is now watching the full weight of Trump’s Justice Department come directly for him — and the judge waiting at the end of that road is not exactly a neutral party.
