Episode notes
Brennan DOJ Referral Matters
- John Brennan was referred to the DOJ for lying to Congress over alleged politicization of the CIA against Trump.
- Jesse Kelly says this is significant even if the charge feels insufficient compared to the alleged abuse of power.
Process As Deterrent
- Kelly argues prosecutions of Comey, Brennan, and others create fear that may deter future politicization of intelligence agencies.
- He warns this process is the best available check because pain and legal costs punish deep-state actors.
Precedent vs. Immediate Accountability
- MSNBC's Joe Scarborough warned Republicans that using prosecutions now could be used against them later.
- Kelly acknowledges that precedent risk but still values current legal action as a check on future abuse.
