General Flynn Demands DOJ Probe of Comey, Clapper, Brennan Over 2017 Plot, Citing CIA Report and Obama Role

General Michael Flynn has publicly called for the Department of Justice under former President Donald Trump to immediately investigate former intelligence officials Jim Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan for their alleged involvement in a 2017 conspiracy to undermine President Trump. Flynn asserted that these individuals orchestrated a plot, often referred to as the Russiagate hoax, which he described as an illegal and treasonous operation initiated under the Obama administration. He claimed that the evidence against them is clear and that they would face prison time if properly investigated. Flynn’s statements followed the release of a declassified CIA report, directed by then-CIA Director John Ratcliffe, which reportedly confirmed the agency's involvement in the Russiagate operation.

Flynn also implicated former House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Vice President Mike Pence in attempts to discredit Trump during the 2016 election cycle. Meanwhile, media reports cite that newly declassified documents from the FBI and CIA do not substantiate claims of conspiracy against Trump. Additionally, former CIA personnel have publicly criticized Brennan, with some calling for his imprisonment. The controversy continues to unfold amid debates over the validity and interpretation of the intelligence documents related to Russiagate.
