But there’s much more wrong about Brennan than merely being a member in good standing of the Deep State. His background is filled with secrets, serving as Director of the CIA for Obama and earlier spending time in Saudi Arabia as station chief. There are even some indications that he converted to Islam — the doctrines of which are not friendly to the West.
He has committed perjury to help push the fake case against Donald Trump, as Tucker points out below, yet appears frequently as a talking head on a liberal network. Is there a Super Deep State club that protects members from prosecution despite clear lawbreaking?
If nobody goes to jail after the corruption revealed in the attempted coup against Trump, it will be very bad news for the country and our supposed allegiance to the rule of law.
]]>TUCKER CARLSON: Well, yesterday’s IG report provided even more information about what actually happened, and confirmation of a fact that’s been pretty obvious for a while. Former Obama CIA chief John Brennan is a liar. Not only that, he lied to Congress.
In the spring of 2017, Brennan told the House Intel Committee that the Steele dossier played no role in the creation of intelligence community assessment on Russian interference that was presented to both President Obama and President elect Trump.
Now Brennan was not vague about this: he said unequivocally on camera the dossier was totally irrelevant. That was a complete lie. The IG report proves that. A lie. The Steele dossier, in fact, was a major element of the intelligence assessment, and Brennan in particular found it very important.
In other words, John Brennan — not a close call here — perjured himself on camera in front of the world. But here’s the striking thing. John Brennan is not facing perjury charges. In fact, he’s still tweeting self-righteously and making smug appearances on CNN, which I think, check my memory for a second, pays him as a contributor.
Meanwhile, former Trump adviser Roger Stone is looking to spend the rest of his life behind bars. His crime — lying about emails that were totally irrelevant to anything — literally irrelevant.
So what sets John Brennan, former CIA director, apart from Roger Stone, professional prankster? Really. It’s obvious — one supports the establishment in Washington and the other made fun of it.
Tom Fitton is president of Judicial Watch and he joins us tonight. Tom, thanks so much for coming on.
TOM FITTON: You’re welcome.
CARLSON: I have never rooted for anybody’s imprisonment or indictment. I really don’t. It’s bad karma, but I just can’t get past the fact that John Brennan, the head of the CIA, lied right on camera, committed perjury, right on camera. And now he’s not being punished. CNN hired him. Like how does that work?
FITTON: Well, it’s actually a reconfirmation that he wasn’t telling the truth about the assessment, because there’s been other information even prior to the IG report that the shady dossier was used in the intelligence assessment, which obviously goes to the fact that the intelligence assessment put out there by all the intelligence agencies isn’t worth the paper it’s written on because it’s based on fraudulent information.
CARLSON: But shouldn’t the last people who lie to us be the people in charge of our most sacred and closely guarded information — the intel agencies. They can’t lie like that.
FITTON: Comey was referred for criminal prosecution for his taking of the FBI files of Donald Trump, lying to investigators. No prosecution. McKay referred to for prosecution. In April of 2018, DOJ still did the ring on it, did several referrals to some of these deep state folks like Simpson and others for perjury, potentially. You’ve got Brennan. DOJ hasn’t done anything yet.
And I’m just concerned that we’re just going to have another report from Mr. Durham in the end, as opposed to prosecutions or even — let’s at least do a criminal investigation. Let’s have a real investigation with grand juries and people going under oath.
CARLSON: How can you commit perjury on TV? It makes everyone cynical. Tom Fitton, who remains uncynical despite 20 years here. Thank you.
FITTON: You’re welcome; thank you.
REP. TREY GOWDY: Do you know if the bureau ever relied on the Steele dossier as part of any court filings, applications, petitions, pleadings?
FORMER CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN: I have no awareness.
GOWDY: Did the CIA rely on it?
BRENNAN: No, it was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence assessment that was done.

Others might notice Omar’s sketchy past and see a criminal who just hasn’t been prosecuted yet. The charges are not new and have been examined here previously.
Tucker interviewed Tom Fitton, whose organization Judicial Watch recently delivered a request that the House investigate Omar for her alleged unlawful behaviors, including perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud. Read the particulars: Judicial Watch Files House Ethics Complaint against Rep. Ilhan Omar over Potential Immigration, Marriage, Tax, and Student Loan Fraud.
Tucker called Omar a lunatic, but a better characterization might be that she is a cultural stew of arrogant sharia-compliant muslim immigrant who believes she will prevail over the stupid infidels in America. Oh, and political correctness is on her side also, since she is not shy about calling critics Racist, as she did in her recent New York Times opinion piece Ilhan Omar: It Is Not Enough to Condemn Trump’s Racism.
]]>TUCKER CARLSON: In a resurfaced interview from 2018, Ilhan Omar told Al Jazeera that America ought to engage in racial profiling of white men, whom she blamed for, quote, “Most of the deaths within this country.”
ILHAN OMAR: I would say our country should be more fearful of white man across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. We should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.
CARLSON: In the same interview, Omar said America shouldn’t worry about young Muslims leaving her state of Minnesota to fight for ISIS or Al-Shabaab. The real — I’m not making this up, I’ve got to pause right here, because we’re not making this up. It’s hard to believe, but we’re actually not, this is real.
Omar said the real concern was the rhetoric of local politicians, which apparently drove these young terrorists into terrorism. In short, Ilhan Omar is a lunatic, an embarrassing blight on American politics, but hopefully, one that will eventually pass.
Recently, the group Judicial Watch filed a formal ethics complaint against Omar. The group requested a full investigation into matters that include potential tax fraud, marriage fraud, and immigration fraud, as well as perjury. Tom Fitton is the President of Judicial Watch, and he joins us tonight. Tom, thanks for coming on. What are you hoping to find from Congresswoman Omar?
TOM FITTON: Well, whether she’s a crook or not. The House Ethics Committee needs to begin the process of figuring out whether the strong evidence of marriage and other criminal activity or marriage fraud and other criminal activity is accurate, in terms of she did it.
And you know, we’ve had Powerline blog, and you’ve had them on talking about their comprehensive investigation. Her left-wing hometown newspaper has basically said these allegations are out there, she hasn’t disproven them, and has raised more questions than answers. And it’s about time for the House Ethics process to begin to work.
Now, I say that knowing that the House Ethics Committee is split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, but the American people are probably going to want the House to make sure that Ms. Omar, who may have committed marriage fraud by marrying her brother, and then we know for sure that she was signing incorrect tax returns. So, the extent of the criminality needs to be explored.
And the House needs to do it. But the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS need to do something as well. This is — you know, she has been protected from this scandal by the big media for a long time. And you know, we’ve got to lift that protection. She is not above the law, you know, and this isn’t about her crazy socialism and her anti-American statements. This is about whether she just follows the basic rules that other Americans would be subject to severe scrutiny over if they were seen to be breaking them.
CARLSON: Some scrutiny. I mean, she’s credibly accused of coming here to this country under a false identity, marrying her brother. Clearly she lied about it. I’m just going to say that flatly. She lied about it. She said she was married in her faith tradition, she wasn’t. She was married by a Christian Minister.
FITTON: Right.
CARLSON: And then credibly accused of committing perjury and lying about all of it. So, why isn’t the administration just honest with both feet? Because people are afraid to be called racist? Is that what it’s about?
FITTON: You know, I don’t know, maybe the Justice Department is doing an investigation they are not telling us about.
CARLSON: I hope so.
FITTON: But go back to your first point. We’re not even sure Omar is her real name.
CARLSON: Exactly.
FITTON: That’s how crazy this is and you know — and I’ve been doing this for 20 plus years. And this is about the most significant congressional scandal by a member that I’m aware of — you have to go back to Traficant, I think back in Ohio to come up with something so far out.
But in terms of the scope of the potential criminality, this is pretty significant. And the question is that, if this doesn’t go forward, it’s probably going to be because Democrats are protecting her. And so you know, they tell us today at the Mueller hearing, because we know they don’t believe it that no one is above the law. The question for the House Democrats is Ms. Omar above the law?
CARLSON: Right. They said that today. They said that today. But of course, that’s the one thing they mean least of all.
FITTON: That’s right.
CARLSON: Because they’ve got a whole bunch of people they believe are above the law. Tom Fitton. Appreciate it. Good to see you tonight.
