The CIA is calling: John Brennan gets subpoenaed in Trump probe

Original version ·

Because apparently, the spy game never actually ends, even after you’ve retired.

Former CIA director John Brennan Brennan just got hit with a subpoena. He has to show up before a Florida grand jury as part of a Justice Department investigation into whether ex-intelligence bigwigs allegedly ganged up on Donald Trump Trump.

It feels like a scene straight out of a political thriller that refuses to wrap up. The feds are digging deep into the theory that the deep state was actually a thing, and they want Brennan to spill what he knows about the so-called grand conspiracy. It’s a bizarre turn of events where the ones who used to hold the secrets are now the ones being asked to testify.

The irony of a former spy chief being cornered by a courtroom summons is truly something else.
