• The DOJ is still planning to send requests for voluntary interviews and grand jury testimony according to media reports.
  • From my perspective, this is a good sign. Potentially a very good sign.
  • The issues around the CIA targeting President Trump are extensive, attached to numerous individuals and entities, and generally complex.  Normally, an investigation of this scope would begin with questions to the outer perimeter individuals who were carrying out the instructions of those above them.
  • It is from those types of lower-level interviews that material is gathered for use in examining the truthfulness of those who organized and directed the operations.  In the example of John Brennan’s false statements to congress surrounding the ICA (Intelligence Community Assessment), or the inclusion of the Steele Dossier in the analytical material, there are key people within the Directorate of Analysis, National Security Agency and National Intelligence Council who can give first-hand statements about Brennan’s instructions.
  • Those types of interviews are just as important as questioning John Brennan himself, and for obvious reasons those interviews should come first.

TIMELINE:

Aug – Nov 2025: CTH emphasizes need for ICIG Atkinson material to get to Ciaramella/Brennan

December 2025 – Brennan attorney notified he is under investigation.

Jan – March 2026 – DNI gains access to Atkinson transcript from HPSCI

March 2026 – DNI assembled ICIG Atkinson material from Ciaramella report and investigation.

March 25 – HPSCI releases transcript to DNI.

April 13 – HPSCI released ICIG declassified transcript / DNI releases ICIG Ciaramella report.

April 15 – Eric Ciaramella criminal referral.

April 21 – Brennan witness subpoenas withdrawn.

Hopefully the timeline helps people to understand what is likely happening in the background.

 Ciaramella has been given the opportunity to cooperate as a witness in the 2017 Brennan case; perhaps in exchange for something like limited immunity in the 2019 impeachment issue.   The timeline tracks.
