In what appears to be now standard operating procedure for the administration, the Department of Justice assigned Trump ally Joseph diGenova to serve as the special prosecutor for the ongoing case regarding former Obama-appointed head of the CIA Brennan and his alleged role in the criminal conspiracy to frame then-president-elect Trump as a Russian asset in 2016.

Now, the DOJ, according to internal sources, with stunning parallels to the botched James Comey prosecution, has withdrawn its subpoenas of individuals associated with Brennan, opting instead for "voluntary interview" requests.

Via Associated Press (emphasis added):

"The Justice Department has withdrawn subpoenas issued in the investigation of former CIA Director John Brennan, with officials asking for voluntary interviews instead of testimony before a grand jury, two people familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

A small handful of subpoenas were known to have been issued over the weekend for witnesses to appear before a grand jury in Washington. But investigators on Monday evening informed lawyers that the subpoenas were being withdrawn in favor of requests for voluntary interviews, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press to discuss developments in an ongoing investigation.

The reason for the reversal in course was not immediately known."

I'm sure Brennan, his comrades, and their respective teams of $1,000/hr lawyers will jump at the "voluntary interview" invite.

They're here to assist the government in any way possible in the furtherance of justice.

These are red-blooded patriots, after all.

They just want what's best for America.

Speaking of true-blue, red-blooded Americana, here is John Brennan in 2021, immediately after the Jan 6 fedsurrection, having transitioned into a "journalist" at MSNBC, joining an entire lineup of "retired" spooks speaking truth to power for the masses on the network, declaring a war on "an unholy alliance of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians" — a war that the Biden administration went on to wage with all the weight of the federal government:

"[The Biden intelligence services] are moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've seen overseas…

It brings together an unholy alliance of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians. And unfortunately I think there's been this momentum that generated as a result of unfortunately the demagogic rhetoric of people that's just departed government, but also those who continue in the halls of Congress. And so I really do think that the law enforcement, homeland security, intelligence, and even the defense officials are doing everything possible to root out what seems to be a very very serious and insidious threat to our democracy and our republic."

Then there's Brennan's odd proximity to the 9/11 hijackers, who got their entry visas to the United States in Saudi Arabia with minimum scrutiny while Brennan served as CIA Station chief — an oversight, if that's what it was, for which he has never been made to fully account.

Did you know?

A paltry four years before his usherance into the CIA in 1980, Brennan admitted during the vetting process to having voted for Communist Party presidential candidate Gus Hall in 1976.

The agency apparently didn't find this problematic enough to preclude his membership — indeed, not even to prevent him from ascending to the top of the pyramid.
