Legal expert astonished as another Trump revenge case poised to implode

By Robert Davis
Published March 10, 2026 7:40 PM ET

A legal expert appeared astonished on Tuesday by a new report that President Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutor in Miami is struggling to indict one of the president's political foes.

CNN reported on Tuesday that U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones in the Southern District of Florida and officials in Trump's Department of Justice have been pushing to indict former CIA Director John Brennan over his involvement in the 2016 investigation into Russia's interference in the general election. However, that push has been thwarted by weak evidence against Brennan, CNN reported.

Michael Popok, a legal expert and host of the "Legal AF" podcast, reacted to the reporting on a new video podcast.

... was to remove John Brennan's security clearance ... along with several other intelligence officials who had worked under PBO. That's what a petty small man Chump is, and nothing has changed in the last 9 years.

Shooting someone on Fifth Avenue is small potatoes compared to what he is getting away with now! Hell is far too good for this evil load of shit. I LONG for Satan to call him home, but alas, Satan doesn't want the competition.

He was in charge of the CIA when it implemented extraordinary rendition and the torture that went with it.

He should not be allowed to rehabilitate himself as some wrongly persecuted good guy.
