On Thursday, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey during a segment with Fox News host Harris Faulkner.
Kennedy said the two men, who were referred to the FBI by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, were “not ethical people” and they are ” as popular as male pattern baldness.”
Brennan and Comey are under criminal investigation by the FBI for potential wrongdoing related to the now-debunked Trump–Russia collusion narrative — including allegedly lying under oath to Congress.
The Gateway Pundit reported that, according to DOJ sources, Ratcliffe formally referred evidence of Brennan’s misconduct to FBI Director Kash Patel for criminal review.
Meanwhile, a separate FBI probe into James Comey is also active, though details remain under wraps.
Sources told Fox News that the feds are exploring a potential “conspiracy” between Brennan and Comey to politicize the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
Speaking with Faulkner, Kennedy said Brennan and Comey were “especially bad” and contributed to the country’s tense political climate.
“I know Mr. Comey and I know Mr. Brennan. Neither one of them, in my opinion, should attempt more than six of the Ten Commandments. They are not very nice people, they are not ethical people.”
“I know people who have worked with them closely and if you talk to people who have worked with them closely, those people will tell you that they are about as popular as male pattern baldness.”
Kennedy continued, “What’s scary about both of them is that they think that they are competent. They’re not. I would hire the guy who salts the fries at McDonald’s before I would hire either one of them.”
“They think they’re competent, they think they are smarter and more virtuous than the rest of us and they acted on their political beliefs.”
“Brennan, for example, Mr. Brennan, was one of the ones who told the American people that the Hunter Biden laptop wasn’t real, it was Russian disinformation. They’re just not honest people. And if they broke the law, they should be held accountable.”
“They’re just like so many in Washington, Harris, they’re so arrogant. Lyndon Johnson used to have an expression. He’d say, ‘That guy is so arrogant he could strut sitting down.”
“Well, that’s the way Mr. Comey and Mr. Brennan are. Those two have done more to destroy the American people’s confidence in the FBI and National Intelligence than any two people I can think of.”
