The potential conflict is more acute now that #ToddBlanche has installed #JoediGenova, a fmr US attorney for DC, to reinvigorate an investigation into what #diGenova has outlined as a broad “conspiracy” against #Trump spanning from the 2017 #Russia #ElectionInterference probe to the aborted Special Counsel Jack Smith prosecutions that ended in 2024.

DiGenova is based in Fort Pierce, FL, a federal court with few major criminal cases aside from Trump’s.

#JoeDiGenova’s appointment has rattled current & former employees of the #CIA who worry he will go after anyone inside the intelligence community who #Trump perceives to have played a ​part in politically motivated investigations, two of the sources said.

The #DOJ last month removed the veteran prosecutor in ​Miami who had been leading ⁠the investigation into #Brennan. The department then installed #JoeDiGenova, a former federal prosecutor turned conservative legal commentator & critic of Brennan, to oversee the probe & a related effort to examine whether prior investigations into #Trump amounted to a conspiracy against the president. 🙄🥱

Acting AG #ToddBlanche helped oversee the #DOJ’s investigation into #Brennan when #PamBondi was AG. #Trump fired Bondi in April amid ​mounting White House frustration with the pace & outcome of her team’s investigations.

#Brennan’s lawyer said in a letter to the chief federal judge in Miami that prosecutors had told his client that he is a target of the investigation. He stated prosecutors were "#JudgeShopping" by trying to steer the investigation to a Trump-appointed judge in Fort Pierce, Florida, who previously dismissed a #criminal case against #Trump [yup, it’s the ever-so-compromised #AileenCannon.

The dossier was referenced only briefly ​in the assessment & a summary of its allegations was attached to a classified version of the report. #Brennan has said the #CIA opposed including the #SteeleDossier in the report ​& the classified summary was only included as part of a compromise with the #FBI.

Known as the #SteeleDossier after its author, fmr British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, the document was funded by Trump's political opponents & included salacious rumors about alleged links between his 2016 campaign & Moscow, which #Trump strenuously denied. [but it was just 1 document in the investigation]

The current & former #CIA officers are being ​asked about #Brennan's role in producing the assessment & the extent to which its conclusions were shaped by a controversial dossier of unverified claims about Trump's ties to #Russia.
