Tulsi Kicks Brennan’s Case in the Clearance Balls

Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where Tulsi Gabbard decided the Justice Department’s exclusive FBI spook party desperately needed a Twister-style security clearance shutdown? On August 19, 2025, Gabbard yanked the clearances from 37 intelligence pros, including nearly a dozen key witnesses in the John Brennan investigation. Brennan, that ex-CIA director whose 2017 Russia-Trump intelligence report allegedly screamed 'Putin prefers Trump'—and who is now accused of lying to Congress in 2023—found his prosecutorial dream team instantly neutered. Federal prosecutor David Metcalf was blindsided, getting the news via a rude 7 p.m. email right after work hours. It’s as if Gabbard moonwalked onto the chessboard and knocked over half the pieces without telling, leaving DOJ prosecutors yelling, 'Wait, what? That’s an own goal in international spy soccer!' Meanwhile, Trump’s crew cheers this calamity as a win, while Brennan’s defense lawyers are sharpening their 'credibility demolition' tools. Welcome to The Political Circus meets Intelligence Clusterf*ck, starring the legendary Tulsi: right person, wrong team, zero heads-up, 100% chaos.
