Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan appears on MSNBC to defend disgraced former FBI Director James Comey after his indictment, dismissing Trump’s DOJ actions as part of a so-called “revenge tour.”

The swamp is circling the wagons again.

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, who was just indicted for lying and obstruction of justice, is now being shielded by none other than former CIA Director John Brennan, the same Brennan who pushed the Russia hoax for years with zero accountability.

Brennan went on record insisting that Comey is “a man of integrity and honesty” and absurdly claimed that Donald Trump is the real problem, not Comey’s lies to Congress, not his FISA court abuses, and not his role in spying on a sitting U.S. president.

Here’s Brennan in his own words:

“John Durham, the special counsel who investigated over several years and spent many, many millions of dollars in man-hours, didn’t find any reason to press charges against Jim Comey.

Bill Barr, the former attorney general in Trump’s first term, also pushed back mightily against Donald Trump, saying there’s nothing there. So again, all of the facts that we know of right now really say that Jim Comey should not be charged.

I worked very closely with Jim Comey while he was director of the FBI, and I was director of the CIA. Jim Comey is a man of integrity and honesty.

I had some disagreements with Jim Comey about decisions or actions he took—that is natural—but I never had any doubt whatsoever that he was fully committed to the rule of law and to upholding his oath of office, which he has done.

And so, from the standpoint of projection, in terms of this Trump administration putting on Jim all of these labels and allegations that I think are really hollow, it really, again, I think, is more reflective of the Trump administration overall, which is going to continue to follow Donald Trump’s lead on this revenge tour.”

WATCH:

JUST IN: John Brennan rallies to James Comey’s defense, INSISTS Comey is innocent following the indictment.

“Jim Comey should not be charged! I worked very closely with him…Comey is a man of integrity, of honesty!”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced that a new CIA report reveals former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.

The three corrupt Obama officials included the Steele Dossier in their quest to “screw Trump” knowing at the time that the Steele Dossier was full of lies.

It appears Brennan is not out of the woods yet and government investigators and prosecutors are zeroing in on his false statements under oath from 2023.

Sperry linked back to his July 2025 report at Real Clear Investigations alluding to Brennan’s questionable statements on the Russiagate scandal.
