Bryan Dean Wright, a former CIA Ops Officer and host of The Wright Report daily news podcast, posted an opinion editorial in Fox News on Thursday, one day after the CIA dropped a bombshell report on former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI director James Comey.

The report revealed that Obama administration operatives, including Brennan, Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, had released a corrupt report in 2016, alleging that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump.

Obama himself had reportedly ordered the report, titled, “Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] on Russian Election Interference.”

Wright has reacted by saying that Brennan and Comey should be sent to prison for not only trying to destroy President Trump, but the Republic. Below are excerpts from his blistering op-ed:

From Fox News: Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison.

Here’s why.

The CIA released fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agency’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia’s influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It found that Russian President Vladimir Putin “aspired” to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the election. That assessment – ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan – ignited the Trump-Russia hoax that would haunt Trump’s presidency for four years.

We’re now learning five key details Brennan used to cook the books to ensure maximum damage to Trump.

Wright listed key highlights of the allegations against Brennan:

  1. Brennan lied about his use of the discredited Steele dossier
  2. Brennan manipulated who would write the ICA
  3. Brennan interfered in the ICA’s drafting
  4. Brennan rushed the completion of the ICA
  5. Brennan (and Comey) spread the ICA far and wide to leak it

Wright also posted the following statement on X:

My former boss — CIA Director John Brennan — should rot in prison.

Based on our new understanding of his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, here are the five reasons for why he (and James Comey) should live the rest of their lives behind bars.

1) LYING ABOUT THE STEELE DOSSIER.

On January 16th of 2017, Brennan told the WSJ that he never read the Steele Dossier and gave it “no particular credence.”

He was lying. On both counts.

As his former staff now admit, Brennan specifically pushed for the inclusion of the Steele Dossier in the IC Assessment (ICA) which found that Vladimir Putin “aspired” to help Trump win the 2016 election.

Also, we now know that Brennan demanded the Dossier be included in the ICA *DESPITE* explicit verbal and written warnings from his top operational AND analytical management that the Dossier “didn’t meet the most basic [of] tradecraft standards.”

Brennan said he didn’t care.

As we’re now learning, he said wanted it included in the ICA because it “fit narrative consistency” — aka Trump Russia collusion — and that FBI Director James Comey was demanding the same.

Yet, as we now know, both Comey and Brennan knew the Steele Dossier was unvetted gossip… it had been investigated earlier that fall in 2016 by their respective IC elements and found not to be credible.

But both Comey and Brennan wanted it in, clearly to destroy President Trump.

And we know that because…

2) MANIPULATION OVER WHO WROTE THE ICA OF “PUTIN HELPED TRUMP WIN.”

As we’re now learning, Brennan demanded that the CIA take lead in drafting the ICA, intentionally blocking out other intel agencies and the National Intelligence Council.

As this new report confirms, that decision “depart[s] significantly from standard procedures for formal IC assessments.”

But why would Brennan do that?

Here’s the reason: he wanted to control the authors (his employees), their assessment, any dissent, and their careers if they crossed him.

And we know that because…

3) BRENNAN INTERFERED IN THE ICA’S DRAFTING.

As this new report confirms, “Direct engagement in the ICA’s development [by Agency heads] was highly unusual in both scope and intensity. This exceptional level of senior involvement likely influenced participants, altered normal review processes, and ultimately compromised analytic rigor.”

Yes, that’s correct.

I can confirm as a former CIA Ops Officer, Brennan knew he could make or break the careers of his analysts. And so he did — ensuring that he got the exact ICA he wanted, which included the junk Steele Dossier and a single-source intel report on Trump Russia Collusion.

He also took control and influenced the ICA so he could then direct its public release — all to destroy Trump.

And we know that because…

4) BRENNAN RUSHED OUT THE REPORT.

As we’re now learning, CIA analysts felt “jammed” by Brennan’s timeline to produce the ICA by late December 2016 — despite the fact that “the election had concluded, and the ICA was essentially a post-mortem analysis.”

The highly compressed timeline was “atypical” for an ICA, which “ordinarily can take months to prepare, especially for assessments of such length, complexity, and political sensitivity.”

But Brennan didn’t care. He wanted this ICA done by the time Trump got into office. He wanted to forever damage the President — and the Republic.

And we know that because…

5) BRENNAN (AND COMEY) SPREAD THE ICA FAR AND WIDE.

Brennan and Comey worked to distribute the overly-confident ICA (and the discredited Dossier) to “more than 200 US officials. This is unusually high for such a highly compartmented product…”

In other words, they briefed it to leak it — to destroy Trump.

That’s what the NY Times suspected too. As they asked readers in January of 2017, why would Brennan and Comey have briefed and shared the discredited Dossier “to multiple people in Congress and the executive branch, virtually assuring it would be leaked?”

The answer: Brennan and Comey spread the ICA (and Dossier) far and wide by early January 2017 to ensure it all leaked and thus hobbled Donald Trump — and destroy his presidency.

====

As Sen. Chuck Schumer infamously said on MSNBC in January of 2017, “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

Indeed they do. And indeed they did.

BOTTOM LINE: John Brennan, James Comey, and their fellow anti-Trumpers in the IC intentionally and willfully tried to destroy the Presidency of Donald Trump — with a tightly controlled, scripted, rushed, and poorly sourced ICA (and trash Steele Dossier).

By doing so, they tried to destroy not just Pres. Trump but the Republic. And that’s why this still matters.

These men thought they knew what was best for America and they didn’t give a damn what voters like you thought. It was THEIR country… and they were willing to act on that with their profound powers to destroy a politician they didn’t like.

As a former CIA officer, I can’t tell you how infuriating this is.

As an American, I can’t tell you how hot my fire burns to bring these men down — and anyone in the Obama White House or Clinton Campaign who colluded with them.

At a bare minimum, these two men should be in prison for the rest of their lives and rot in hell for eternity.

They’re traitors.

They’re scum.

They’re subhuman.

They deserve maximum punishment for their crimes. God willing, we’ll all be alive to see it.
