CIA Director John Ratcliffe has ordered criminal investigations into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan for their roles in the Trump-Russia probe, with allegations of treasonous misconduct, including false statements to Congress. This move, sparked by Ratcliffe’s declassification of a 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment review, is long overdue. For years, Comey and Brennan have been accused of orchestrating a politically motivated “Russia hoax” to undermine President Trump, abusing their power to push the discredited Steele dossier and mislead the public. Their actions, if proven, betrayed the nation’s trust and endangered its security, warranting the gravest scrutiny
If found guilty of treason, Comey and Brennan must face the full weight of the law—no leniency, no wrist slaps. Treason, as defined by the Constitution, carries severe penalties, potentially including life imprisonment or, in extreme cases, the death penalty. Their alleged conspiracy to subvert a presidency and deceive Congress strikes at the heart of American democracy. Justice demands accountability proportionate to the crime: anything less would mock the rule of law and embolden future traitors. The evidence, including Ratcliffe’s findings of a “corrupt process,” suggests a deliberate betrayal that cannot be ignored.
Congress must unite to ensure justice is served. Partisan divides cannot obstruct this reckoning. Lawmakers have a duty to demand transparency, oversee the investigations, and press for swift, impartial outcomes. The American people deserve to see traitors held accountable, not shielded by bureaucracy or political loyalty. Every senator and representative must champion the rule of law, ensuring the Department of Justice pursues these cases relentlessly. Failure to act would signal complicity in eroding the nation’s foundation. Let this be a turning point: justice now, or the Republic falters.
