Brennan Case Allegedly Steered to Judge Cannon in Florida Despite DC Venue

What was said

"Despite the concerns in the letter, the Justice Department remains seemingly committed to its plan to steer any investigation and eventual prosecution of the grand conspiracy case to the Fort Pierce division of the Southern District of Florida and to the only judge in that division, Judge Aileen Cannon. The prosecution team in April established headquarters in the US Attorney's office in Fort Pierce. Fort Pierce is 130 miles away from open grand juries that are operating in Miami. It's five states away from Washington, D.C., where the vast majority of the acts allegedly took place. The only rationale for Fort Pierce is to carry out the judge shopping plan."

The criminal investigation of John Brennan is being run out of Fort Pierce, Florida, the jurisdiction of Judge Aileen Cannon, despite the alleged crime occurring in Washington DC during 2023 congressional testimony. Brennan's attorneys sent a letter to the Southern District of Florida Chief Judge challenging this venue selection as deliberate judge-shopping. Over 200 grand jury subpoenas have been issued from the Florida location, and prosecutors have promised an indictment by year's end.
