The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
These investigations represent long overdue accountability for officials who weaponized their positions against a duly elected president. Brennan and Comey knowingly included fake intelligence to legitimize targeting Trump, violating public trust through gross abuse of power. This development isn't political revenge, it's about restoring the rule of law and equal application of justice. The wheels of justice may grind slowly, but ultimately they deliver.
Anti-Trump narrative
Trump’s claims of no collusion with Russia are pure hogwash, and the investigations into Brennan and Comey are nothing more than payback for challenging him. Brennan’s efforts were critical in exposing Russia’s ongoing interference and protecting national security, while the intelligence community’s assessment was thorough and legitimate. These attacks are a desperate attempt to silence those who fought to defend democracy and uncover the truth.
Narrative C
Obama's fingerprints are all over this scandal, with sources indicating the former president knew about efforts to prevent Trump from winning the 2016 election. Biden, Clapper, and other Obama administration officials were involved in briefings about the bogus intelligence assessment. This corruption went to the very top of the Obama White House, and all participants should face prosecution.
Cynical narrative
The FBI’s investigations into Brennan and Comey come at a curious time, just as the DOJ claims there’s no Epstein "client list." Given Bondi's failure in handling the Epstein case, her credibility is increasingly being called into question, and it’s unclear whether she can be trusted to pursue these investigations with the necessary resolve. It’s difficult not to wonder if this move is designed to divert attention from a much larger scandal.
