Hanson argued Brennan’s pattern didn’t stop there, either. It reached its most destructive point during the 2020 election. He described the moment the Hunter Biden laptop story threatened to derail Biden’s campaign. “The pièce de résistance for John Brennan was in October 2020, on the eve of the second... and critical presidential debate, Joe Biden was in trouble. People were furious about this laptop. There was pornography on it. There was drug use,” Hanson recounted. “There was references to Joe Biden as Mr. Big Guy, 10% that he'd been given money. He was crooked.” Hanson walked through how Biden’s team moved to kill the story by calling in favors. “So what happened? Antony Blinken, his future Secretary of State, campaign aid called Michael Morell, interim CIA Director at one point, said ‘round them up’. So 51, quote unquote, intelligence authorities swore that the laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian information.” Brennan’s name was on that letter. “So what happened in the debate? Trump went right after Biden and said that laptop is real. It shows that you're a crook. It shows your son is a miscreant. And Joe Biden [said] ‘How dare you? 51 intelligence authorities swear that it's a product of Russian espionage.’” And it worked. “It was effective,” Hanson said. But Hanson made clear the real scandal came after the election. “Later, a poll showed—that if people had known that it had been authenticated, and, by the way, that laptop was sitting in the hands of the FBI and adjudicated to be authentic and not released to the public at a time when James Comey's if excuse me, Christopher Wray’s FBI was partnering with Twitter and Facebook to suppress any news story that was accurately reporting that the laptop was authentic.”show more

It was a TOTAL indictment. Victor Davis Hanson just obliterated former CIA Director John Brennan, as fresh investigations into his actions take a dark turn. Hanson laid out THREE DAMNING examples of lies and hoaxes that expose the real Brennan. And he finished with a gut-punch: “He should be worried. Not about losing his security clearance. But about the very real possibility of being indicted and sent to jail.” 🧵 THREAD

Victor Davis Hanson laid out the case bluntly: John Brennan wasn’t just a bureaucrat who played politics, but someone who built a career on reinvention, spin, and outright lies....and left a trail of wreckage in American politics that’s still being reckoned with. As Hanson put it, there’s a reason Brennan is back in the spotlight. “Recently, Pam Bondi and the Trump Department of Justice has said they are running an investigation into James Comey and John Brennan's career as the respective FBI Director and the CIA head during the Obama administration. And in the case of Comey, the first year of the Trump administration,” he said. “They are very angry about this, but let's just review why there might be some culpability.” Hanson started with Brennan’s talent for switching sides when it suited him. Under George W. Bush, Brennan was a champion of harsh interrogation and Guantanamo. “Take John Brennan. He was a big proponent of waterboarding and enhanced interrogation under George W Bush's administration. And the things that went on in Guantanamo,” Hanson said. But when power changed hands, so did Brennan’s story. “But he flipped to condition himself to go into the Obama administration. And then he attacked the very president that he had served, George Bush.” Hanson described how Brennan went further, rebranding his entire approach to counterterrorism to fit Obama’s worldview. “Then he began sounding, sounding off about Islam, religion of peace, Jihadism is not a violent act, to condition himself further, to be appointed by Obama, which he was eventually as CIA director.” For Hanson, that wasn’t just another political calculation...it set the stage for Brennan’s most brazen deceptions.

“But then he started lying,” he said. “I mean, he always probably lied, but I mean flagrantly.” One of those lies, Hanson argued, was meant to cover for Obama’s drone war. “So he said before Congress in the media, there wasn't one civilian killed by Obama's targeted assassination program via predators on the Afghan or Pakistan border.” Hanson didn’t attempt sugarcoat the reality of what happened. “Actually, there were 50 or 75 innocent people we killed. He was caught in that lie.” Then came the clash with Congress over spying on Senate investigators. “Three years later, he went before the Congress and there was information that he had been tapping his CIA, the staffers for the Senate to get into their computer. He not only lied about it, he did so emphatically, ‘oh, we would never do that. That’s horrible.’” He eventually admitted it. But Hanson pointed out the consequences were non-existent. “Then he was forced to say yes, I lied. In both cases, there were no perjury charges, nothing.”

Remember “Russia! Russia! Russia!”? From the collusion hoax to Russian disinformation, Hanson argued Brennan helped fuel the narrative that Donald Trump was a Kremlin asset....another lie that consumed years of the country’s politics and President Trump's first term. “John Brennan finally, accused Donald Trump of being a Russian traitor. He said that after the, Donald Trump spoke in Helsinki about Russian American relationships, he said that he is treasonous.” And he did so without proof. Hanson pointed to the facts on the ground that contradicted that charge. “When he said that, I think we all thought, well, wait a minute. Donald Trump killed the Wagner group in Syria. He up the sanctions on the oligarchs.” “He approved offensive weapons to Ukraine that Obama had canceled. Russia didn't go into Ukraine under the Trump administration. It had invaded Ossetia under Bush. It went under Ukraine, under both Biden and Obama, but not under Trump.” “He told the Germans, don't cut a deal with Putin on the Nord Stream Two pipeline. He got out of an asymmetrical missile deal.”

Hanson’s final argument was merciless for the former CIA Director. He made the case that Brennan’s pattern of deception wasn’t just personal...it was historically damaging. “So what was John Brennan doing?” he asked. “Here's what he was doing, and 2 or 3 of the most significant scandals of the last 50 years, he was at the center. You could make the argument that the Russian collusion hoax almost swung the election to Hillary Clinton.” “You could argue that the Mueller investigation, based on that stupid dossier, cost Donald Trump 22 months of his first two years in office, $40 million to find nothing.” “You could make the argument that if the FBI had just released its investigation of the laptop, told the people it was authentic, John Brennan would not—have been able to lie to the American people that it was cooked up in Russia, and that Donald Trump was complicit in that.” “That disclosure, that failure to disclose the true nature of that laptop, thanks to John Brennan and 51 intelligence authorities, and the debate by Joe Biden and the false charges may have affected the election.” He didn’t leave any doubt about the stakes. “And finally, we wouldn't be in this big trouble about the Ukraine war and Russia, had John Brennan and people like him not floated the spurious narrative that Donald Trump was working hand in glove with Vladimir Putin, Vladimir Putin, Russia, Russia, Russia that colored and poisoned the whole relationship we had with Russia.” Hanson ended with a warning, suggesting Brennan’s biggest worry shouldn’t be his media gigs or security clearance. It was a gut punch to him and his establishment cronies. “It affected the Russian Ukrainian war, and it was all a lie. And so here we are with John Brennan, mad that he lost his, security clearance for being a well-paid MSNBC analyst. He should be better worried. Not that he lost his security clearance. That that he might be indicted and go to jail.” “He's got a lot of culpability, both in not telling the truth and spinning lies and being at the heart of a number of scandals that affected the history of the United States.”
