Ian Trottier joined Matt Gaetz on OAN to discuss the connection between John Brennan's financial crimes and the Russian collusion hoax — the central thesis of High Stakes Treason.

"John Brennan is what I would refer to as a penetration agent. This is a communist infiltrator."
Trottier's central characterization of Brennan — not merely incompetent, but an enemy of the constitutional republic who infiltrated the system over decades.
"What I calculate through SEC documents and false official statements is just shy of $5 million is what he's made off of the Analysis Corporation stocks."
The financial motive, documented through public SEC filings — Brennan's stock in TAC increased from $50,000 to $4,850,000.
"Every time there was a terror attack, it benefited Brennan because his stock value increased."
The damning connection: each successful attack on American soil drove Congress to increase counterterrorism funding — which drove up the value of Brennan's hidden stock holdings.
"It's definitely an attempt for coup d'état. There's no doubt about it."
On the Russia hoax — not politics, but an orchestrated attempt to overturn a democratic election.
"I've submitted a FOIA with the Joint Chiefs, because there should be an audio recording of that meeting that took place in the White House where this collusion happened."
Trottier is actively seeking the tape of the December 9, 2016 Oval Office meeting where Obama directed Brennan to construct the Russia assessment.
"Obama likely held that over Brennan's head, and that would have pigeonholed him into orchestrating the Russian collusion and producing that Steele dossier."
On the leverage: Obama gave Brennan an ethics waiver for his TAC financial conflict — then used it to force compliance.
Trottier explains to Gaetz that the Russian collusion hoax was not simply political animus. It was self-preservation. Brennan's financial crimes — the illegal stock ownership, the false disclosure forms, the intelligence manipulation — would have been exposed under a president committed to investigating the intelligence community.
If Trump had won in 2016 and ordered a genuine review of intelligence failures — the Boston Marathon Bombing, the Underwear Bomber, the 9/11 failures — the trail would inevitably lead to Brennan's $4.85 million stock scheme.
President Trump himself has stated that Brennan was the "ring-leader" of the Russian collusion hoax. Roger Stone, who wrote the foreword to High Stakes Treason, has said Brennan "orchestrated" the operation.
The book presents the motive that ties it all together: Brennan didn't just dislike Trump politically — he needed to keep Trump out of office to protect himself from prosecution for multiple felonies, up to and including treason.
Trottier connects Brennan's actions to a wider network including former FBI Director James Comey and former DNI James Clapper. All three, the book argues, had reasons to prevent a Trump presidency that might expose their actions and alleged crimes.
The Matt Gaetz Show on OAN reaches a large audience of politically engaged viewers. This appearance helped frame High Stakes Treason not as a fringe conspiracy theory but as a serious, documented legal case — one that calls for Congressional investigation and potential prosecution under the False Claims Act and 18 USC 2381.
The complete analysis of Brennan's motive and the collusion hoax is in High Stakes Treason — 430 pages.
