'I don’t think he's the only one!' Jim Jordan name drops next target for DOJ after Comey

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) dropped a bombshell live on Newsmax Wednesday after naming a former top intelligence official that he suspected might be next in line for criminal prosecution following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.

“This whole lawfare, this weaponization of government, this attack on President [Donald] Trump all started with Comey ten years ago, so I think it's entirely appropriate that he's being held to account, particularly for false statements it looks like he made to the United States Congress,” Jordan said, appearing on Newsmax’s “The National Report.”

Comey pleaded not guilty during a hearing in federal court Wednesday to charges of obstruction and perjury, with critics having characterized his indictment as a political prosecution, and just the latest attempt by the Trump administration to persecute its political adversaries.

For Jordan, however, Comey’s indictment was not only appropriate, but perhaps just one of many future criminal prosecutions into former government officials.

“It all began with Comey, and frankly, I don't think he's the only one!” Jordan said. “I think [former CIA Director] John Brennan looks like he misled Congress as well and maybe said false things to Congress, I think we're going to look into that issue and the Justice Department is looking into that also. But Jim Comey is the start of all this.”

While Brennan has yet to be directly threatened with criminal prosecution by the Trump administration, he said recently, following Comey’s indictment in late September, that he was not afraid of being targeted.

“I’m not going to be intimidated by the likes of Donald Trump,” Brennan told MSNBC recently. “I have always tried to speak my mind and do what I thought was right. And clearly there is a corruption and a perversion of the justice system right now within the executive branch.”
