The FBI is investigating for possible false statement to Congress and mismanagement of whom its director was during the second mandate of Barack Obama (2013-2017), James Comey, and the head of the CIA also under the presidency of the Democrat, John Brennan, as indicated on Wednesday the CNN chain.
According to the channel, Brennan and Comey, who exercised several months under the first term of (2017-2021), are in the spotlight after the current head of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, declassified a report on US intelligence last week. It was a review of “Lessons learned” on the creation of the evaluation of the Intelligence Community (ACI) of 2017.
That ACI, as the channel alleged that Russia tried to influence the presidential 2016 to help Trump, then candidate. But the review discovered that the process of creation of the ACI was precipitated, with “procedure anomalies”, and that the officials deviated from the intelligence standards.
According to the CNN, that document does not doubt the opinion of that intelligence community that Putin preferred Trump against the then Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, but does argue that Brennan risked “to” quell the analytical debate “by indicating before time there was consensus.

The Department of Justice declines to pronounce by pointing out that he does not comment ongoing investigations, while the CIA has also refused to give its version and the Comey representative has not wanted to speak either.
The NBC News chain added that Brennan claims not to have been contacted by the Department of Justice and the CIA on these inquiries.
Trump stood out on Wednesday at a press conference against African leaders who the two affected are “very dishonest” and should pay a price for it: “I think they are really bad people. What happens whatever happens,” he said.
The CNN stressed that in the center of the debate are the statements that the two men made to Congress on Russian interference investigation.
According to Fox News, the first to give the news, the scope of criminal investigations on Brennan and Comey is not clear, but two sources described the FBI’s opinion about their interactions as a “conspiracy”, which could open a wide range of possible procedural options.
