As of October 2025, former FBI Director James Comey, perennial chickenhawk John Bolton, and CIA Director John Brennan all have one thing in common. The Department of Justice is coming after them for crimes they allegedly committed while working at the highest levels in Washington.

For too long, these elites have gotten away with committing crimes that would send average Americans away to prison for many years.
Comey and Brennan face similar charges over allegations they lied to Congress about the role they played in the so-called Russiagate scandal.
Russiagate refers to the years-long investigation into whether President Donald Trump and his advisors conspired with Russian officials to steal the 2016 elections. It took two years and tens of millions of taxpayers’ dollars to completely exonerate Trump and his staff of the charges and to learn the whole case was nothing more than a baseless Democrat-led operation to take down a democratically elected president.
On Sept. 25, Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts: giving false statements and obstruction of justice. According to the indictment, Comey had lied during a Senate hearing on Sept. 30, 2020, when he said he had never authorized anyone in the FBI to leak classified FBI memos on Trump to the mainstream media, and then tried to cover it up.
As for Bolton, the Department of Justice is hitting the chickenhawk for allegedly sharing over 1,000 pages of top-secret information with two family members, so he could, among other things, write a book that eventually made him over $1 million. In the 26-page indictment, Bolton faces 18 counts of violating the Espionage Act. Legal experts say he is facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and up to 180 years in prison.
And, finally there was Brennan. On Oct. 21, the House Committee on the Judiciary referred the notoriously vindictive spy chief for criminal conviction. In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) accused Brennan of repeatedly lying to Congress about the role he played in the so-called “Steele Dossier,” a now-discredited opposition-research document paid for by the Democrats that was used to form the basis of the bogus Russiagate probe.
“We write to refer significant evidence that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the Committee on the Judiciary on May 11, 2023,” wrote Jordan. “While testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record.”
Jordan proceeds to document all of the times that he claims Brennan lied in his testimony to Congress, most notably when Brennan said the CIA was “not involved at all” with the Steele Dossier
“As the newly declassified documents show, a CIA officer drafted the annex containing a summary of the dossier,” wrote Jordan. “Brennan made the ultimate decision, along with then-FBI Director James Comey, to include information from the dossier in [a CIA report on Russian activities in the 2016 U.S. election]; and … Brennan overruled senior CIA officers who objected to the inclusion of the dossier material.”
Every day, elites in Washington get away with committing crimes and never seem to be held accountable. It is high time the Justice Department takes this criminal activity seriously and sends a message that, no matter how high up they were in the Washington hierarchy, they are not above the law.
