John Brennan—the man who ran the CIA during the Obama years, who oversaw the drone strike program, who called the Hunter Biden laptop story “Russian disinformation” with zero evidence, and who spent years on MSNBC as the resident “intelligence expert” trashing Trump—is now suddenly very interested in due process and the rule of law. Funny how that works.

Here’s what’s happening:

🔍 The Two Investigations

Brennan is currently the target of two DOJ criminal probes:

1. False statements to Congress — regarding his 2023 testimony about the intelligence community’s assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The man who spent years lecturing America about “Russian collusion” may have lied under oath about the very assessment that launched years of political chaos.

2. A “grand conspiracy” investigation — examining whether Obama- and Biden-era officials were part of a coordinated effort to keep Trump out of political office. This is the big one. We’re talking about the origins of Crossfire Hurricane, the FISA warrant abuses, the use of the Steele dossier after the FBI knew it was garbage. This whole apparatus was weaponized against a political opponent.

📋 The Lawsuit Itself

Brennan filed a 46-page complaint in federal court in D.C. on Wednesday, seeking a court order to force the administration to preserve all records related to these investigations. His argument? That any eventual indictment would be “unconstitutionally vindictive and selective.

The case has been assigned to Judge Jia Cobb—a Biden appointee. Draw your own conclusions about what Brennan’s legal team is hoping for there.

His complaint names:

- Acting AG Todd Blanche
- FBI Director Kash Patel
- U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones (Southern District of Florida)
- Joseph DiGenova (counselor to the acting AG, tapped to lead one of the investigations)
- Trump himself

🧩 The Personnel Angle

This is where it gets interesting. The investigation is being staffed with people Brennan and the establishment absolutely despise:

- Joseph DiGenova — long-time DC attorney who’s been calling out the deep state for years
- Kurt Olsen — who served as Trump’s director of election security and integrity
- John Yoo — yes, that John Yoo, the constitutional scholar who wrote the “torture memos” under Bush. He’s been brought in to advise on constitutional questions, motions, and appellate issues.

The establishment media framing is predictable: these are “politically motivated personnel” intent on a “partisan indictment.” But let’s be honest about what’s actually happening here—you don’t bring in a constitutional heavy-hitter like John Yoo just to harass someone. You bring him in when you’re building a case that’s going to be fought all the way up the appellate ladder.

💭 The Irony

Brennan’s lawsuit claims the administration has “adopted a policy of using criminal process and prosecution to punish the President’s perceived adversaries.”

This is the same John Brennan who:

- Ran an intelligence agency that spied on the Senate Intelligence Committee

- Lied to the American people about the CIA’s surveillance programs

- Called the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation after knowing it was authentic

- Has never faced a single consequence for any of it

The DOJ’s response captured it perfectly: “It is certainly rich that John Brennan is accusing anyone of a ‘retribution campaign.’”

🔮 What This Is Really About

Brennan isn’t just trying to preserve records. He’s laying the groundwork to challenge any indictment before it even drops. The motion to preserve records is a preemptive move—his team wants to build an argument that the investigation itself is the crime, hoping to get the whole thing thrown out on selective prosecution grounds before it ever reaches a jury.

Whether that works depends heavily on whether Judge Cobb buys the argument. But the deeper story here is that the people who spent eight years insisting that no one is above the law are now discovering what it feels like to have the law actually applied to them. The immunity they enjoyed under the Obama-Biden consensus is gone, and they’re panicking.

Brennan suing to stop an investigation before charges are even filed tells you everything you need to know about how confident he is in his own innocence. ☠️

Palantir's CEO just exposed Sam Altman and Dario Amodei for robbing every Fortune 500 company.

Within two minutes, Alex Karp took the entire frontier AI industry apart on national television.

His exact words:

"Every single enterprise in this country, these people are LIVID. They are paying for tokens that create no value. These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business."

He literally said the entire frontier AI business model is intellectual property extraction dressed up as a subscription.

Then he also destroyed the pricing model with a single question that Silicon Valley still refuses to answer:

"If it was so valuable, let's say I can make you $1 billion tomorrow. Wouldn't I say I'll make you $1 billion and I want 30 percent? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"

That question breaks the industry.

If OpenAI and Anthropic's models truly delivered the productivity gains the labs claim, they would take equity or a share of the profit they generate. They would not sell access by the million tokens.

Token pricing is itself the CONFESSION that the product cannot produce reliable value at scale. If it did, they would price for the value. But they price for the compute because that is what they are actually selling.

Karp went even further...

He called the entire arrangement "a wealth tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes."

American businesses are transferring the alpha of their operations, meaning the workflows, the customer data, the strategy memos, the internal models that make them competitive, directly into the training pipelines of a handful of Silicon Valley labs. Once those labs retrain, the customer's own edge becomes the next enterprise product sold back to their competitors.

And the part the AI industry does not want anyone thinking about:

Every enterprise running its confidential documents, its customer conversations, and its financial models through a frontier model is potentially teaching that model HOW to replace them.

The vendor collects the token fee AND the compounding intelligence about that customer's business. That is the mechanism. And that is why Karp used the word "stealing."

He claims this is why every executive he meets is furious in private and silent in public. Nobody wants to be the CEO who called out the labs and then discovered their next competitor was built on their own leaked workflows.

The entire AI industry has been priced for perfection on one assumption:

That frontier labs produce durable, defensible value that justifies infinite compute spend.

But Karp just told us that the customers do not believe that assumption anymore. They believe they are being taxed without benefit, watched without consent, and copied without recourse.

The moment enterprises stop believing, the whole valuation stack shakes.

Alibaba allegedly ran 28.8 million fraudulent API exchanges across 25,000 fake accounts to steal Claude's intelligence. If confirmed, it's the largest AI model theft ever attempted. The same week, the White House restricted GPT 5.6 to 20 companies, OpenAI delayed its IPO, and Neuralink announced it may attempt brain-to-brain telepathy this year.

-- GPT 5.6 launches in three tiers: Sol, Terra, Luna all throttled by the White House.

-- Chinese proxy services offer Western frontier models at 90% discount. The trade: your reasoning traces get harvested for distillation.

-- OpenAI won't IPO below $1 trillion. Revenue is at $40–50B annually but they're burning $26B.

-- Elon's endgame for Neuralink is I/O layer for the singularity, allowing humans to couple with AI directly.

CORRECTION: This is Ilhan Omar’s op-ed.

Minnesota — Republican State Representative Steve Drazkowski VINDICATED.

CONFIRMED by the Vice President of the United States:

@VP: “Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.”

Ilhan Omar’s second husband, Ahmed Elmi, was, in fact, her brother.

Ilhan Omar married her brother and admitted she would “do what she had to do” to get him papers to stay in the U.S. and attend college.

Here is Rep. Steve Drazkowski.
He has the damning receipts: witnesses, sworn affidavits, eviction notices, a marriage certificate, DNA evidence, and other documents.

Rep. Steve Drazkowski:
“I am presenting you with a copy of my letter and just a sampling of the materials available to you on these topics.”

He is now demanding the arrest of @Ilhan for crimes including marriage fraud, tax fraud, immigration fraud, student loan fraud, welfare fraud, perjury, bigamy, incest, kickbacks, bribery, campaign finance abuse, and defrauding the United States government—spanning from the East Coast to the Mississippi River: Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago, and Florida.

Rep. Steve Drazkowski:
“She [@Ilhan] was found guilty of violations by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board and was ordered to return those funds. Ms. @IlhanMN appears to be a serial career criminal.”

🚨 Holy Crap: The Iraqi DOJ just released full video footage from a major corruption bust. During the raid on a politician’s warehouse, investigators allegedly discovered a hidden room inside another hidden room — stacked with U.S. cash.

According to the Iraqi DOJ, the warehouse was allegedly being used as a staging site to move money out of the country under the cover of night.

Makes you wonder where all that money was headed… if you know what I’m saying.
