Brennan was different. He was the only person I ever heard of who actually voted for the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) candidate for president at the time, Gus Hall. Hall was an ultra neo-Stalinist hardliner who despised the Hayden/Fonda SDS types as softies. He frequently traveled to Moscow to receive the likes of the Brezhnev Prize from the Soviet dictator himself and went so far as to support the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. No action was too totalitarian, too fascist, for Hall, as long as it adhered to what he regarded as strict communist principles.
Not too many people knew about him even then, but Brennan clearly did. He says he backed Hall through youthful ignorance —an excuse hard to accept unless, of course, you are Barack Obama, who later made Brennan the CIA chief and had his own version of Hall in Frank Marshall Davis.
Years later, it was said that Brennan, who spent a good deal of time in the Middle East, had converted to Islam, but it was never proven.
What we do know is that Brennan was one of the 51 current and past intelligence agents who signed the infamous letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was likely Russian disinformation. Nearly a hundred percent of the signatories of that letter must have known they were lying at the time, unless they were blithering idiots.
The House Judiciary Committee and Jim Jordan may have the goods on Brennan, lying—making “false statements,” in the parlance— to the committee regarding the even more infamous Steele dossier. Brennan asserted he never supported the dossier as evidence.
Documents apparently declassified in July 2025 assert just the opposite and show the former CIA director insisting the agency use the blatant fabrication as evidence—anything to get Trump and his allies.
The question remains, however, whether the Department of Justice will be able to secure a conviction against this highly slippery character, who has been lawyered up on this and other matters for some time. It’s easy to be skeptical, but in this case, especially, it would be delightful to be proven wrong.
Lastly, why do I see Brennan as the “epitome of evil”? It’s something in my gut. But it also makes me reflect on that famous warning by Chuck Schumer just as Trump was entering the presidency for the first time: “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”
That warning curdled my blood then, and it does now. When I first visited CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the very size of the institution made me suspicious. Was this an intelligence agency or something different, an alternative nation of some sort? Whatever it was, it was a truly immense bureaucracy of the kind for which self-preservation is often the greatest motivation. Will they find “six ways to Sunday” to save Brennan, or will justice prevail?
No case before the DOJ will be more important.
