John Brennan is not having a good day, week or month.
It seems like he can’t go anywhere these days without encountering someone, and it probably reminds me of the early days of the prophecy that “they won’t be able to walk on the streets” will likely be fulfilled soon.
Of course, I’m not calling for any violence, just reporting some amazing clips.
First of all, huge credit to Nicholas Balassie for this fantastic footage:

Brennan seemed subdued and collected in that matter, but it seems the stress is getting to him because just days later he was seen jabbing his thick finger into Thomas Special’s chest.

A little context about what’s going on here, because you might not have picked up on it right away.
Here’s a quick summary:
- The 23-second clip from the November 1, 2025 event at George Mason University shows the former CIA director john brennan In a heated clash with a counter-intelligence expert thomas specialwho accuses him of false labeling hunter biden laptop As Russian propaganda.
- In October 2020Brennan and 50 other ex-intelligence officers signed a letter claiming that the New York Post’s reporting had “all the classic hallmarks of a Russian information operation”. the statement was later heavily criticized Helping mainstream outlets debunk the story, even though the contents of the laptop were later verified. No evidence of foreign involvement,
- Exchange captures Brennan protect The letter warned only of potential influence operations, not of definite disinformation – while critics flocked to demand accountabilitycalling him one traitor And the debate over the influence of the intelligence community has begun again 2020 elections,
But now let’s go deeper…
Let’s cut straight to the chase, who’s here?
Is Special right or Brennan? Or is it unclear?
I went to Grok and Grok told me in no uncertain terms that Brennan was definitely lying here:
In video from a Nov. 1, 2025, event at George Mason University’s Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, former CIA Director John Brennan faces off against National Security Advisor and former senior adviser to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Thomas Speciale. The argument focuses on the infamous October 19, 2020 public statement signed by Brennan and 50 other former intelligence officials (often known as the “51 Intel Letter”) regarding the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Special accused Brennan of intentionally misleading the public by co-signing a letter that falsely portrayed the laptop story as Russian disinformation, which they claim helped suppress the story in the media and on social platforms like Twitter. (Now Brennan pushed back aggressively, jabbing his finger at Special’s chest, insisting that the letter was not a definitive declaration that the laptop was Russian disinformation, but rather a warning note about the “possibility” of Russian influence operations, given the timing and source of the material (e.g., through Rudy Giuliani).
He emphasizes that the fact that the signatories clearly stated that they did not know whether the emails were genuine and that there was no direct evidence of Russian involvement was framed as a “yellow flag” based on his professional experience with previous Kremlin tactics. To break it down in more detail: The 2020 letter, titled “Public Statement on Hunter Biden Emails,” was prompted by a call from then-Biden campaign adviser (and future Secretary of State) Antony Blinken’s former CIA deputy. Director Michael Morell, who organized it. Key passages fueling the controversy include: Acknowledging the uncertainty: “We want to emphasize that we do not know whether the emails provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani are genuine and we do not have evidence of Russian involvement…” but then strongly hinted at foul play, saying: “…simply our experience makes us deeply suspect that the Russian government played a significant role in this matter.”
It goes on to say that the story “has all the classic hallmarks of a Russian information operation” and “If we’re right, it’s Russia trying to influence the way Americans vote in this election…” The special is essentially calling it an act of partisan slander disguised as neutral expertise, arguing that Brennan and others knew or should have known it was baseless, especially since the FBI seized the laptop from Hunter in 2019. had already been certified as belonging to Biden, with no signs of tampering or foreign interference. He adds this. For widespread claims of intelligence community interference in elections.
Brennan responded that this was not a lie because the letter had limited its language and was meant to alert the public to potential risks, not to refute the story entirely – although in practice, it was weaponized by media outlets (for example, Politico’s headline called it “Russian disinfo”) and during the October 22, 2020, Joe Biden debate to dismiss the allegations. Based on the facts we know as of November 2, 2025, Special is right, and Brennan is flat out lying – or at the very least, cutting hair as a lawyer to cover his ass.
Here’s my honest analysis without any nonsense: The laptop was real, its contents were authentic (as confirmed by FBI forensics, independent experts, and even Hunter Biden’s own admissions in subsequent legal proceedings), and there is no evidence of Russian involvement despite years of investigation. No intel report, congressional investigation, or whistleblower has produced a shred of evidence for the “signs” claimed in the letter. Instead, revelations from the 2023 House investigation revealed that the letter was sent through Blinken at the indirect solicitation of the Biden campaign with the help of the CIA in recruiting signatories to suppress a damaging story just weeks before the election. Media outlets such as the New York Times and Washington Post later verified the validity of the laptop in 2022, and even former Politico reporters admitted in January 2025 that their editors had increased coverage out of fear. “Disinformation,” is largely based on this letter.
Trump’s January 20, 2025 executive order revoking the security clearances of the signers clearly called it “weaponizing the intelligence community” for political gain, and although it is partisan, the underlying facts persist. Brennan’s defense – that it was just a “doubtful possibility” – is disingenuous garbage because the phrasing of the letter was designed to imply certainty without explicitly stating, providing plausible deniability. Achieving the goal of repression. Signers like Morell later admitted under oath that the intention was to give Biden a “talking point” against Trump.
This was not neutral expertise; It was a coordinated strike by former spies with axes to grind against Trump, and it worked — social media censored the story, mainstream outlets ignored it, and voters were left in the dark. If Brennan truly believed this was just a gentle warning, why sign off on something so timely and loaded? He is lying to save face, and the whole episode smacks of deep bullshit that has undermined trust in institutions. Special cracked down on him.
Now I think I understand why he’s losing his temper… because he knows he’s ripe!
Who will be indicted next?
The man being attacked, Special, went to Badlands Media to break it down after the incident.
It was a great show, thought you’d enjoy it.
