Speaking to FNC’s Jesse Watters, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) revealed the sure-fire way that John Brennan, the former head of the CIA known mainly for his commitment to the Deep State and Trump Derangement Syndrome, can be convicted and held accountable. According to Sen. Paul, Brennan clearly lied to Congress and can still be prosecuted for that.
Such is what Sen. Paul said when he appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Wednesday, July 23, and spoke about the documents that Tulsi Gabbard recently released in which she revealed that the Obama Administration was knowingly behind the false accusations of collusion with Russia that led to an investigation and so bedeviled the first Trump Administration.
Watters, broaching the subject after noting the evidence brought forth by Tulsi of deep Obama Administration involvement in the scandal, asked, “Your reaction to this? You were right in the middle of this whole Russia collusion hoax. What do you think should happen next?”
Responding, Sen. Paul noted that Brennan had clearly lied to Congress, saying, “You know the clip you played with Trey Gowdy asking the question of Brennan, ‘did you know the dossier was from the Clinton campaign? ‘And Brennan denies that, that’s absolutely without question a lie.”
Continuing, he explained that Brennan didn’t care about the truth, but rather only about getting Trump. He said, “One of the documents that Tulsi Gabbard has released is an exchange between the CIA analyst and Brennan, and one CIA analyst says that this is nothing more than opposition research. It’s unverified. And Brennan’s sort of flippant response is, ‘Yes, but doesn’t it really ring true?’ Doesn’t really sound like it could be true.”
Returning to the fact that Brennan clearly lied to Congress, Sen. Paul said, “And so that’s sort of the flippant nature. He had an indication that even in his handpicked analysts, he picked the analyst that would ultimately be with him, you know, to create this narrative. And yet, he lied to Congress. I think without question, they can get him on lying to Congress.”
Then, describing the collection of corrupt and awful intelligence types as a “cabal” organized to destroy Trump, Sen. Paul noted, “But this really was a cabal. I mean, I can’t even remember the stories from the time, contemporaneous stories saying, well, yes, we’re going to spread this information throughout government, so the Trump people can’t destroy it when they come in. But people didn’t really know at the time that the information was from the Clinton campaign or the public didn’t know that, the people within, John Brennan knew this.”

Sen. Paul also noted that he was the only one willing to resist the “scoundrel” Brennan when his nomination came up, saying, “But you know, at the time Brennan’s nomination came up, I was the only one in the Senate to oppose it. I actually filibustered for 13 hours against John Brennan. So, I’ve known from the beginning that he was a scoundrel, and yes, he should be prosecuted.”
Reiterating his point that there is more than enough evidence to prosecute Brennan, Sen. Paul then said, “I think there is enough evidence in here that he lied to Congress about the dossier. He knew about it, his analysts warned him, and he just sort of blew them off and said, ‘Oh, yes, but doesn’t it sound like it could be true?’”
