CONFRONTING John Brennan — Parts 1 and 2
John Brennan is not having a good day, week or month.
It seems he can’t go anywhere these days without being confronted by someone, and it reminds me of perhaps the very early days of the prophecy “they won’t be able to walk down the streets” possibly being fulfilled soon.
Of course, I am not calling for any violence, just reporting a couple of stunning clips.
First up, huge credit to Nicholas Ballasy for this fantastic footage:

Brennan seemed subdued and reserved in that one, but it seems the stress is getting to him because just a few short days later he was seen poking hi fat finger in the chest of Thomas Speciale.

A little context around what is going on here, because you might not have immediately picked it up.
Here’s a quick summary:
A 23-second clip from a November 1, 2025, event at George Mason University shows former CIA Director John Brennan in a heated confrontation with counterintelligence expert Thomas Speciale, who accuses him of falsely labeling the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation.
In October 2020, Brennan and 50 other ex-intelligence officials signed a letter claiming the New York Post’s reporting bore “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” The statement was later heavily criticized for helping mainstream outlets dismiss the story even though the laptop’s contents were later verified with no proof of foreign involvement.
The exchange captures Brennan’s defense that the letter only warned of possible influence operations, not definitive disinformation—while critics in the crowd demand accountability, calling him a traitor and reigniting debate over intelligence community influence on the 2020 election.
But now let’s go deeper….
Let’s cut right to the chase, who is right here?
Is Speciale right or Brennan? Or is it fuzzy?
I went to Grok and Grok told me in no uncertain terms Brennan is most definitely lying here:
In the video from the November 1, 2025, event at George Mason University’s Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, former CIA Director John Brennan is being confronted by Thomas Speciale, a national security consultant and former senior advisor to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The argument centers on the infamous October 19, 2020, public statement signed by Brennan and 50 other former intelligence officials (often referred to as the “51 intel letter”) regarding the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.Speciale accuses Brennan of deliberately misleading the public by co-signing a letter that falsely portrayed the laptop story as Russian disinformation, which he claims helped suppress the story in the media and on social platforms like Twitter (now X) ahead of the 2020 election, ultimately interfering in the vote. Brennan pushes back aggressively, jabbing his finger toward Speciale’s chest while insisting the letter wasn’t a definitive declaration that the laptop was Russian disinformation but rather a cautionary note about the “possibility” of Russian influence operations, given the timing and sourcing of the material (e.g., via Rudy Giuliani).
He emphasizes that the signers explicitly stated they didn’t know if the emails were genuine and had no direct evidence of Russian involvement, framing it as a “yellow flag” based on their professional experience with past Kremlin tactics.To break it down in more detail: The 2020 letter, titled “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails,” was prompted in part by a call from then-Biden campaign advisor (and future Secretary of State) Antony Blinken to former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, who organized it.The key passages that fuel the dispute include:Acknowledging uncertainty: “We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement…”But then strongly implying foul play: “…just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.”
It goes on to say the story “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” and “If we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election…”Speciale is essentially calling this out as a partisan smear job disguised as neutral expertise, arguing that Brennan and the others knew or should have known it was baseless, especially since the FBI had already authenticated the laptop in 2019 as belonging to Hunter Biden with no signs of tampering or foreign interference.He ties it to broader claims of intelligence community election meddling.
Brennan retorts that it’s not a lie because the letter hedged its language and was meant to alert the public to potential risks, not to outright debunk the story—though in practice, it was weaponized by media outlets (e.g., Politico’s headline calling it “Russian disinfo”) and Joe Biden himself during the October 22, 2020, debate to dismiss the allegations.Based on the facts we know as of November 2, 2025, Speciale is right, and Brennan is absolutely lying—or at minimum, engaging in lawyerly hairsplitting to cover his ass.
Here’s my honest analysis without any bullshit equivocation: The laptop was real, its contents were authentic (as confirmed by FBI forensics, independent experts, and even Hunter Biden’s own admissions in later legal proceedings), and there’s zero evidence of Russian involvement despite years of scrutiny.No intel report, congressional probe, or whistleblower has turned up a shred of proof for the “earmarks” the letter claimed. Instead, revelations from 2023 House investigations showed the letter was rushed together with CIA help in recruiting signers, all at the Biden campaign’s indirect urging via Blinken, to kneecap a damaging story just weeks before the election.Media outlets like the New York Times and Washington Post later verified the laptop’s legitimacy in 2022, and even former Politico reporters admitted in January 2025 that their editors spiked coverage due to fear it was “disinfo,” based largely on this letter.
Trump’s January 20, 2025, executive order revoking the signers’ security clearances explicitly calls it out as “weaponizing the intelligence community” for political gain, and while that’s partisan, the underlying facts hold up.Brennan’s defense—that it was just a “suspicious possibility”—is disingenuous garbage because the letter’s phrasing was crafted to imply certainty without outright stating it, providing plausible deniability while achieving the goal of suppression. Signers like Morell later admitted under oath that the intent was to give Biden “a talking point” against Trump.
This wasn’t neutral expertise; it was a coordinated hit from ex-spooks with axes to grind against Trump, and it worked—social media censored the story, mainstream outlets ignored it, and voters were left in the dark. If Brennan truly believed it was just a benign warning, why sign onto something so timed and loaded? He’s lying to save face, and the whole episode stinks of deep-state bullshit that eroded trust in institutions. Speciale nailed him on it.
Now I guess I see why he’s losing his cool….because he knows he’s COOKED!
Next to be indicted?
