EXCLUSIVE: Grand Jury Subpoenas Ignite Long-Simmering Russiagate Reckoning – Brennan, Strzok, and Page in the Crosshairs
In a seismic escalation of President Donald Trump’s promised purge of the “deep state,” a federal grand jury in Florida’s Southern District has unleashed subpoenas on some of the most reviled figures from the 2016 Trump-Russia “hoax.” Former CIA Director John Brennan, disgraced ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok, and his paramour-turned-FBI lawyer Lisa Page are now compelled to testify, cough up documents, and face the music in a DOJ probe that’s ripping open the festering wounds of Crossfire Hurricane. Fox News Digital broke the story on November 7, 2025, revealing that law enforcement sources expect up to 30 more subpoenas in the coming days – a barrage that could ensnare the entire cabal accused of fabricating the Steele dossier and spying on Trump’s campaign. This isn’t theater; it’s the machinery of accountability grinding into gear, with U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones at the helm, backed by Attorney General Pam Bondi and a DOJ hell-bent on exposing what Trump has long called the “greatest political crime in American history.”
The origins of this probe trace back to the fever swamps of 2016, when the FBI, under James Comey’s watch, launched Crossfire Hurricane – a counterintelligence operation predicated on whispers of Trump-Russia collusion that later crumbled under scrutiny. Strzok, the chain-smoking counterintelligence hotshot who texted Page about an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency, was the spark: He opened the case on July 31, 2016, after the dubious Steele dossier – a Clinton-funded opposition research dump – landed in FBI laps. Brennan, Obama’s spymaster, amplified the hysteria by briefing Congress on Russian “meddling” tailored to boost Trump, a narrative the 2019 Durham report later torched as rushed and politically poisoned. Page, the McCabe consigliere, played cleanup, scrubbing notes and stonewalling as the affair’s texts – “We’ll stop it” – leaked like a sieve, fueling Strzok’s 2018 firing and her resignation.
Fast-forward to Trump’s 2025 return: The referrals started flying. CIA Director John Ratcliffe (now DNI Tulsi Gabbard in this timeline? Wait, no – reports point to Ratcliffe’s earlier handoff) shipped evidence of Brennan’s alleged perjury to the FBI in July 2025, triggering a criminal inquiry into false statements to Congress about the dossier’s handling. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan piled on with his own referral, accusing Brennan of lying in a 2023 hearing. Comey, already indicted on parallel mortgage fraud charges (echoing the Letitia James smackdown), is sweating this too. The Florida grand jury, empaneled quietly, is now demanding emails, ICA drafts from January 2017, and comms that could prove a conspiracy to violate Trump’s civil rights – think 18 U.S.C. § 241, the anti-KKK statute repurposed for deep-state dirty tricks. CNN sources confirm the subpoenas hit Brennan, Strzok, Page, and even ex-DNI James Clapper, with prosecutors probing if the ICA was rigged to smear Trump.
Trump’s inner circle is crowing. On Truth Social, he blasted the trio as “treasonous liars” who “tried to steal the 2016 election with their Russia hoax,” vowing “FULL JUSTICE” by Christmas. Kash Patel, FBI Director and Trump’s vengeance avatar, teased more on X: “The swamp’s draining one subpoena at a time. Crossfire Hurricane? More like Crossfire Hellfire.” X erupted in MAGA glee – posts from @EricLDaugh racked up 10k likes with “Panic is ensuing… HUGE trouble!” while @TaraBull’s alert hit 11k views, users chanting “Karma’s a bitch” and “Rush was right: Silent coup!” Conservative firebrands like @gatewaypundit amplified: “The three ringleaders behind the phony Steele dossier… Accountability. Finally!!”
But not everyone’s popping champagne. Democrats and intel vets are howling “retaliation.” Brennan’s lawyer fired back: “This is a blatant abuse of power, dredging up debunked conspiracies to shield Trump’s failures.” MSNBC warns of a “South Florida-based revenge probe,” tying it to Bondi’s order post a Gabbard referral, potentially ensnaring Obama-era holdovers in a “massive conspiracy” charge. The ACLU’s already lawyering up, decrying DOJ “weaponization” – ironic, given their silence on Russiagate’s FISA abuses. Reuters notes the subpoenas seek “testimony & records” on the ICA, but targets remain fuzzy: Perjury? Conspiracy? Or just fishing for Mueller echoes?
Politically incorrect truth: This stinks of score-settling, but it’s richly deserved. The Russia probe wasn’t “investigation”; it was insurrection – a Clinton-orchestrated psyop that cost taxpayers $32 million, Mueller’s dud report, and America’s faith in institutions. Durham’s 2023 flop? Blame Garland’s kid-gloves. Now, with Bondi unchained, the grand jury could flip Strzok (the weak link, per insiders) into a canary, spilling on Brennan’s dossier briefings or Page’s cover-ups. If indictments drop – and sources say the jury convenes January 2026 – it could gut the IC, validating Trump’s “hoax” narrative and kneecapping 2028 Dems still peddling it.
Broader ripples? This syncs with the Comey/James indictments, painting a pattern: Trump’s DOJ as avenger-in-chief. Critics like Mike Davis (White House advisor) gloat it’s “civil rights violations via lawfare,” but even neutrals at Englebrook Independent see “political division” – Brennan’s “politicized intelligence” vs. a probe “risking weaponization.” On X, @FFT1776 muses: “Who flips first??” – a bet on plea deals. NewsNation pegs 30+ subpoenas total, targeting “false claims perpetuated by political enemies.”
As subpoenas rain, one verity endures: The architects of Russiagate bet on impunity. They lost. Trump’s not just draining the swamp; he’s dynamiting it. If this grand jury indicts, it’ll be the unmasking America craved – raw, unfiltered, and overdue. The deep state’s worst nightmare? It’s subpoenaed, served, and sweating.
