DOJ Leaks Trump Enemies Probe to Quell MAGA Epstein Fury

The FBI has reportedly launched a criminal probe into two Obama appointees–including the agency’s own former director–over their involvement in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
The probe, which Justice Department sources leaked to Fox News Digital, is targeting Former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brenna over false statements they allegedly made to Congress. News of the investigation came as the Trump administration scrambles to quell a furious backlash over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with prominent MAGA figures calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be fired.
The Brennan probe was opened after CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence against him to FBI Director Kash Patel, according to Fox News. The sources also told Fox that the Comey investigation was underway, though no details were provided.
The FBI declined to comment. The Daily Beast has also reached out to the CIA and the Justice Department.

And I have to wonder how Comey is feeling about his extremely ill-advised political character assassination of Hillary in 2016? May he get all he deserves!
