He lied to a Home committee in regards to the Steele file and its use within the Russiagate conspiracy in opposition to former President Trump. And he lied in regards to the CIA’s spying on Senate Intelligence Committee members.

As a white male, I'm embarrassed that John Brennan is one as properly.
