The Real Russia Hoax May Be Accountability for Brennan and Comey
Donald Trump has once again thrust the so-called “Russia Hoax” back into the headlines by publicly naming John Brennan and James Comey as individuals he’d like to see arrested. Trump’s comments revive the controversy around the Steele Dossier, the now-discredited opposition research compiled by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, which fueled the FBI’s surveillance of Trump’s 2016 campaign.
This is where Geoffrey Gilson comes in. Gilson, once a speechwriter for legendary British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, has the ability to cut through the noise and explain what’s really happening. With deep experience in both U.S. and U.K. politics, he can contextualize how Trump’s targeting of Brennan and Comey fits into a larger narrative of political payback, institutional mistrust, and the blurring of lines between intelligence gathering and partisan warfare.
But what does Trump’s rhetoric actually mean? Who is supposed to make those arrests? Some have speculated that Attorney General Pam Bondi would be responsible for issuing indictments, while FBI Director Kash Patel would need to enforce them. Yet, despite years of Trump’s sharp words and even Comey’s own mocking “86/47” stunt in the sand, nothing tangible has come from these public threats. Is this just political theater, or does Trump genuinely intend to bring his adversaries to justice?
Or is it a pre-emptive distraction? A month ago, the “Russia Hoax” served as a distraction from the Epstein scandal. This week, ten alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein are expected to be present at a Capitol Hill press conference on September 3rd.
Gilson can also highlight the overlooked role of Robert Mueller, Comey’s predecessor, who pursued Trump in a separate case just as Trump announced his run for president. Taken together, these threads paint a picture of a sustained effort within Washington’s intelligence and law enforcement elite to undermine Trump—a story that goes far beyond the Russia Hoax and into the heart of the so-called “deep state.”
Trump’s direct naming of Brennan and Comey signals that this battle isn’t over. Gilson can explain why Trump keeps circling back to these figures, why real accountability hasn’t materialized, and whether Americans should expect genuine prosecutions or just more bluster and distraction.
