American Greatness CEO Ned Ryun reacts to news that the Department of Justice is launching criminal investigations into former CIA director John Brennan and former FBI director James Comey.

LAURA INGRAHAM, HOST: Back to Brennan, you know, the thought about him was that he, you know, reportedly he forced the inclusion of the Steele dossier into this entire investigation, yet it was kind of like, oh, look me, who, what, you know, when it was brought up. So that’s what I think they’re focused on regarding Brennan. Your reaction tonight? NED RYUN, AMERICAN GREATNESS CEO: They are. Well, first of all, I want to say something very clearly, Laura. There’s going to be people on the left and the corporate propagandists who are going to start screaming, this is political revenge. This is about setting, settling political scores. That has nothing to do with any of that. This actually has to do with restoring the rule of law and the equal application of the law. You know, John Brennan, of his own, of everything that we’re seeing now, went out of his way to include the fake Steele dossier, which he knew was fake, in that 2017 ICA to legitimize that document so it could be justifiably used to target the duly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump. And then James Comey and Andrew McCabe and James Baker, who was the general counsel of the FBI, knowingly used the fake Steele dossier, not once, not twice, four times to secure those FISA warrants to backdoor spying on Donald Trump. This is a gross and egregious abuse of power and of trust, and I would consider highly illegal acts. And so for me, Laura, this isn’t just about the present. In many ways, this is about who are we going to be 20 years from now? The American people have lost a lot of confidence on our institutions and the way that we still trust is to actually have consequences for the wrongdoing that has been, I think, pretty obvious over the last 10 years.
