There’s a reason the CIA never really got cleaned up under Trump, and it’s not because he didn’t try. The deeper truth is that while President Trump was in office, Barack Obama’s CIA was still fully operational. And in many ways, it still is today.

Turns out, Brennan never really left. His loyalists are still running the show at the CIA, blocking reform and quietly steering the agency against Trump’s America First agenda. He might be out of sight, but make no mistake, his fingerprints are still all over Langley.
The news is filled with revelations concerning the actions of senior CIA officers in 2016 as a plot took shape to deny Donald Trump the White House. Fake allegations of collusion between Trump and Putin would be pushed via the vehicle of a garbage dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party… Are senior CIA officers now loyal to the sitting President and acting in accordance with the Constitution, or are they still taking direction from people like John Brennan?
This is the main question. It’s not just about the past; it’s about whether the CIA is loyal to the American people or to some unelected cabal of Obama-era thugs still calling the shots behind the curtain. The And Magazine piece goes on:
“Brennan controlled promotions in the agency and NSA through Hayden for about 12 years… After 12 years of seeding the intel community, you can permanently alter the complexion and effectiveness of any federal department.” —Former Senior CIA Operations Officer
“Brennan’s loyalists still run the top levels of the CIA.” —J. Michael Waller, Former CIA Operative
The analysts who crafted the corrupt Intelligence Community Assessment (“ICA”) on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan are, for example, still in place at CIA… Some of them have been promoted.
If you thought “Russiagate” was some bygone relic of the past, guess again. The exact same people who helped launch the Trump-Russia hoax are still collecting paychecks, and they’re still holding tremendous power. The swamp was never drained. Actually, they just dug in deeper.
But here’s the part most people miss: Barack Obama never really cared about traditional legacy-building like a typical politician. He didn’t have any major domestic achievements. No great economic recoveries. But what he did do was reshape the intel community in his image.
The And Magazine piece shares more:
“Brennan controlled promotions in the agency and NSA through Hayden for about 12 years. First from the White House for 4 years, then as DCI. The agency was disloyal to their constitutional oath for the first term of Trump and simply resisted or ignored Trump during his first term. Then Brennan heavily influenced and steered the agency during Biden’s term. After 12 years of seeding the intel community, you can permanently alter the complexion and effectiveness of any federal department.”

Obama’s legacy is the complete weaponization of the CIA, NSA, and FBI against his political opponents. And it’s that vast machinery, which was built under Brennan and now still manned by his loyalists, that did the dirty work during Trump’s first term.
That’s why every attempt at reform was slow-walked or fully ignored. Our intel agencies weren’t just being uncooperative; they were still taking orders from the last guy.
That’s the bad news—and sadly, it’s a situation we’re still dealing with today. So, what’s the fix? Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater and a former CIA asset, spelled it out in plain terms during a recent interview with Steve Bannon.
BANNON: What would you tell Ratcliffe today he should do?
PRINCE: Fire the bottom 40% of the people and unload most of the contracted positions as well.
The fact is, during COVID, when only 20% of the building was showing up, the net collection and quality of intelligence went up substantially. What does that tell you? You have way, way, way too many bodies. Way too many people with clearances. Just way too much nonsense.
And that’s why any actual good intelligence also gets leaked because there’s just too many people that are in that circle of knowledge.

Erik points out that unlike other intel agencies that are twisted and tied down by red tape, the CIA is actually ripe for reform. Just fire the dead weight and start fresh.
PRINCE: The CIA is the fastest org that should be and can be reformed in Washington because civil service rules don’t apply. You could correct many of the wrongs of that place in a weekend by firing lots and lots of people. @realErikDPrince pic.twitter.com/nBtd1oUcNe

If you think this is all old news or ancient history, think again. The paths that were laid in 2016 are starting to crisscross with 2025, and beyond. Journalist Lee Smith, one of the few guys who nailed Russiagate from the get-go, is now wondering whether John Durham may have been quietly fitting John Brennan and his inner circle for orange jumpsuits down the road.
I’ll admit I didn’t give John Durham enough credit: He may have fitted Brennan, Clapper, Comey for orange jumpsuits. https://t.co/dBZz2SAbuj

Obviously, the Durham probe didn’t deliver sweeping arrests; quite the contrary, actually. But it did dig up a lot of rot. Brennan wasn’t just involved; he helped orchestrate the whole thing. And it was foolish for anybody to assume he was finished.
Sadly, Obama may never face full consequences for what he built. That’s the cold, hard truth. But Brennan is another story. His day may still come. The public knows who he is, what he did, and how long he’s been pulling strings.
At this point, the only thing left is to assign him a jumpsuit, preferably in size 4XL, color: federal orange.
