Blanche Taps DiGenova to Lead Brennan Probe, Reigniting Ukraine-Russia Conspiracy Talk

The post reports that Todd Blanche, once Donald Trump’s attorney, has appointed Joe DiGenova to oversee the investigation of John Brennan, framing it within a broader conspiracy narrative about the Mueller probe and Ukraine–Russia connections. It traces Blanche’s prior clients (Igor Fruman, Manafort) and his associates (Toensing, DiGenova) to alleged efforts to derail the Mueller investigation and discredit Biden–Ukraine narratives, arguing the move signals a shift toward using controversial figures and disputed evidence to ‘criminalize’ counterintelligence investigations. The piece suggests conflicts of interest, links to pro-Russian Ukrainian interests, and warns of potential political showmanship rather than a traditional criminal inquiry.
