John Brennan was the CIA director under Barack Obama’s administration and his blunt, hatchet man personality drew little favor from those outside his party. He, of course, had a large role in the Democrat Party lawfare against Donald Trump, then candidate for president, in cases that rolled like a steamroller through much of his first term. Now he’s under investigation for a variety of potential offenses, such as lying to Congress, and recently lost a lawsuit trying to force the government to bend to his will in its investigation. Turns out he’s not the only Brennan family member likely to spend some time in courtrooms. The Daily Mail reports Brennan’s son, Kyle, has been arrested for the alleged possession of child sexual abuse materials. “FBI agents took Brennan, 40, into custody at his workplace in Herndon, Virginia, on Friday afternoon. A search warrant of his personal cell phone was executed by FBI last night, according to a law enforcement source,” the report said.

Does private dishonesty reveal something citizens are entitled to judge?
