The long-awaited reckoning may finally be upon us, as sources confirmed to Fox News Digital that the Department of Justice has subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey over his role in the discredited 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian election interference. This marks a significant escalation in the investigation into how the Obama-era intelligence apparatus manufactured a narrative that paralyzed a presidency. And FBI Director Kash Patel, who received criminal referrals from CIA Director John Ratcliffe, has opened formal investigations into both Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan for potential wrongdoing tied to the creation of the 2017 assessment and possible false statements to Congress.
The 2017 ICA concluded that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election to help candidate Trump, but a subsequent review by the Department of Justice inspector general described the process as rushed with “procedural anomalies.” More damning still, that review determined the decision by agency heads to include the Steele Dossier in the assessment “ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment,” according to declassified records. That dossier, commissioned by Fusion GPS and paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, was filled with unverified and wholly inaccurate claims that have since been widely discredited by multiple congressional investigations.
Yet Brennan pushed for its inclusion in the ICA despite the CIA’s consensus that it was filled with nothing more than “internet rumor,” as acknowledged in declassified CIA documents. Declassified records have now confirmed what many suspected all along: the Obama administration manufactured intelligence to create the Russian election interference narrative, with career CIA officials acknowledging for the first time that the process was politicized by Obama-era political appointees who were more interested in targeting a political opponent than following intelligence standards. Comey and Brennan were the architects of this deception; they weaponized the nation’s intelligence agencies against a duly elected president, using fabricated opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign to justify surveillance, investigations, and years of media hysteria that divided the country and undermined faith in our institutions.
The subpoena represents more than just another investigation, signaling that the era of accountability has arrived. Those who abused their power to spy on American citizens, lie to courts, and manipulate intelligence for political purposes are finally facing scrutiny. The question now is whether the full truth will emerge about how deep this conspiracy ran, and whether justice will be served for one of the greatest political scandals in American history.
The American people deserve answers. They deserve to know how their intelligence agencies were turned against them. And they deserve to see those responsible held accountable for their actions. Providence watches over the bold.
