John Brennan's lawyers confirm he is 'target' of Florida grand jury probe, asks judge to intervene

Former CIA Director John Brennan's lawyers have taken the extraordinary step of confirming their client is a "target" of a criminal grand jury investigation in Florida and are asking the chief federal judge in Miami to stop the proceedings on the grounds that the Justice Department is "judge shopping."
The revelations came in a letter that defense lawyers Ken Wainstein and Natasha Harnwell Davis sent Monday to U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga, a George W. Bush appointee to the bench who supervises the Miami federal district court.
Wainstein and Davis revealed they have been informed by U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quinones in Miami that the grand jury is investigating Brennan's role in the 2016-27(sic) Russia collusion probe that has since been discredited, including a CIA assessment that Russian president Vladimir Putin tried to help Trump win the 2016 election.
Whistleblower evidence released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe has called into question that assessment, revealing career intelligence experts disagreed with the conclusions made in the rushed report released to the public at the end of the Obama administration.
The evidence also showed that Brennan personally pressed to have a discredited document known as the Steele dossier included in the assessment contrary to his testimony to Congress, prompting both Ratcliffe and Gabbard to refer Brennan for possible prosecution.
It's probably a bit early to start chanting, "Lock him up!"

Just like Judge Boasberg, who apparently will take any case and rule against President Trump. There seem to be several weekly that emanate from that douche nozzle judge.
