CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel, and the FBI investigation into Comey has also begun, with some sources suggesting their actions could be considered a conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation is tied to controversies surrounding the Steele dossier and the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on russian interference. A CIA review criticized Brennan for including the dossier in the assessment despite its flaws, possibly undermining the report&#8217;s credibility.Similarly, comey and FBI leadership were said to have pushed for the dossier&#8217;s inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, stated that those involved in the scandal should be held accountable for the alleged fraud against former President Trump. Neither Brennan, Comey, nor the intelligence agencies have commented on the report.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice has begun criminal investigations into two controversial members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/huge-attorney-sidney-powell-confirms-alleged-dominion-servers-in-germany-were-confiscated-video\/\" title=\"HUGE!
