John Ratcliffe has made a criminal referral of John Brennan to the FBI, accusing him of lying to Congress. The FBI is also investigating James Comey regarding the Russia investigation, although the basis for this inquiry remains unclear. These actions reflect President Trump's appointees' intent to pursue retribution against individuals involved in investigations he deems as politically motivated hoaxes. Despite this, the legitimacy of these investigations is highly questionable, lacking substantive legal grounding or real crimes to address.
Even if it is unclear whether the moves will lead to charges, they are among the most significant indications that President Trump's appointees intend to follow through on his campaign to exact retribution against his perceived enemies.
These 'investigations' are the actions of an authoritarian madman. There is no legal point to them. There are no real crimes to be investigated.
