Clapper has always been the weak link as he is a retired Lt. General and is subject to recall to active duty. The military justice system is less focused on individual procedural protections and not hampered by Judge and Jurisdiction shopping.
Now this is the kind of investigation I can get behind. Great find J1D! As long as the wrong doers, once found guilty, are punished-severely (according to our laws).
I ran this observation through Grok for an analysis:
Q Post 4674 (September 11, 2020, 12:54:35 AM EDT): This post lists the phrase "James Comey Treason" in groups of 5 lines, repeated 10 times, resulting in a total of 50 instances. The arrangement of these lines, stacked vertically, can be interpreted as forming a symbolic "tower" due to its elongated, repetitive structure.
Q Post 4675 (September 11, 2020, 1:05:06 AM EDT): This post lists the phrase "John Brennan Treason" in groups of 4 lines, repeated 12 times, totaling 48 instances. Similarly, the stacked arrangement of these lines can be seen as forming another symbolic "tower."
The posts were made on the 19th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks, which targeted the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The repetition of names in a stacked format, as you noted, appears to mimic the twin structures, suggesting a deliberate symbolic connection to the 9/11 attacks.
Symbolic Interpretation
The structure and content of these posts, combined with the date, suggest several layers of potential meaning within the context of QAnon’s cryptic messaging style:Mimicking the Twin Towers:The "twin lists" of names, arranged in stacked groups to form two symbolic towers, likely evoke the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, destroyed on 9/11. This visual metaphor could imply that Comey and Brennan, as prominent figures in QAnon narratives, are being framed as central to a betrayal or conspiracy tied to the 9/11 attacks or broader "deep state" activities. The choice of September 11 for these posts reinforces this connection, leveraging the emotional and historical weight of the date to amplify the message.
The duality of the lists (one for Comey, one for Brennan) mirrors the duality of the North and South Towers, suggesting a parallel between the physical destruction of 9/11 and an alleged moral or political destruction attributed to these individuals.
Numerology of Repetition:
James Comey: 5 × 10 = 50: The phrase "James Comey Treason" is repeated in 10 groups of 5, totaling 50 instances. In QAnon’s cryptic style, numbers often carry symbolic weight. The number 5 could represent change or disruption (common in numerology), and 10 might signify completion or a full cycle. Together, 50 could imply a significant, transformative accusation against Comey, perhaps suggesting a comprehensive case for his alleged betrayal.
John Brennan: 4 × 12 = 48: The phrase "John Brennan Treason" is repeated in 12 groups of 4, totaling 48 instances. The number 4 often symbolizes stability or structure (e.g., four corners of a building), while 12 can represent governance or authority (e.g., 12 tribes, 12 apostles). The total of 48 might suggest a near-complete but slightly lesser accusation compared to Comey’s 50, possibly reflecting their perceived roles or influence in QAnon’s narrative.
The slight difference between 50 and 48 could be intentional, hinting at an asymmetry in their culpability or roles, much like the Twin Towers had different heights and collapse sequences. Alternatively, the numbers might be a code for followers to decode further, possibly referencing other Q posts, dates, or events.
Accusations of Treason:
The word "Treason" paired with Comey and Brennan aligns with QAnon’s broader narrative of accusing former intelligence officials of betraying the United States, particularly in relation to the Trump-Russia investigation. Posts on X from 2020 and 2025 highlight this sentiment, with claims that Comey and Brennan were involved in a "conspiracy" related to the 2016 election or other alleged misconduct. While no evidence supports charges of treason (as defined in Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: levying war or aiding enemies), the repetition in these posts emphasizes the severity of QAnon’s accusations.
The choice of Comey (former FBI Director) and Brennan (former CIA Director) reflects their prominence in investigations that QAnon followers view as politically motivated attacks on Trump, such as the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe and the CIA’s role in assessing Russian interference in 2016.
9/11 and Conspiracy Theories:
The date of September 11, 2020, ties the posts to 9/11, an event frequently exploited in QAnon narratives to suggest government cover-ups or "deep state" involvement. A post on X from 2025 explicitly links these Q drops to the idea that Comey and Brennan committed treason related to the Twin Towers, though it provides no evidence. This aligns with QAnon’s pattern of connecting real events to speculative conspiracies, using 9/11’s emotional resonance to fuel distrust in institutions.
The "towers" of text could symbolize the collapse of trust in Comey and Brennan, paralleling the physical collapse of the Twin Towers. QAnon may be implying that their alleged actions (e.g., in the Russia probe or other unproven conspiracies) are as devastating to the nation as 9/11 was.
QAnon’s Cryptic Messaging:
The structured repetition and visual arrangement of the posts are typical of QAnon’s style, designed to engage followers in decoding hidden meanings. A 2020 X post by @prayingmedic
explicitly notes the 5×10 and 4×12 structure, asking if there’s a specific meaning to derive from it. This suggests the posts were intended to prompt speculation, possibly pointing to other Q drops, timestamps, or external events (e.g., post numbers, dates, or gematria).
The numbers 50 and 48 don’t directly correlate with known 9/11 data (e.g., victim counts, floors impacted), but they could be a nod to QAnon’s numerological practices, where followers might link them to other posts or concepts like "The Storm" (a vague QAnon prophecy of mass arrests).
Broader Context and Implications
QAnon’s Use of Symbolism: The "twin towers" of text align with QAnon’s tactic of using visual and numerical patterns to convey messages. The posts’ structure, combined with the 9/11 date, suggests an attempt to frame Comey and Brennan as traitors whose actions are as significant as the 9/11 attacks in undermining America. This resonates with QAnon’s narrative of a battle against a corrupt elite.
No Evidence of Treason:
Despite the accusations, no credible evidence supports claims that Comey or Brennan committed treason. PolitiFact and Check Your Fact debunked 2020 claims of 50 and 48 counts of treason against them, noting the absence of charges or media coverage. Recent 2025 reports indicate FBI investigations into their roles in the Trump-Russia probe, but these are unverified and don’t confirm treason.
Connection to Previous Conversations:
Your past inquiries about QAnon-related symbolism (e.g., "The Wheel" in Q drops, numerology of 3, 6, 9, or cryptic references like Alpha-Omega) suggest an interest in decoding QAnon’s layered meanings. The 5×10 and 4×12 structure here fits this pattern, potentially inviting followers to find connections to other posts or events, such as the January 5, 2017, meeting involving Comey, Brennan, and others.
What This Suggests
The deliberate structure of Q posts 4674 and 4675—listing "James Comey Treason" 50 times (5×10) and "John Brennan Treason" 48 times (4×12) in stacked, tower-like formations on September 11, 2020—suggests a symbolic accusation of betrayal tied to the 9/11 attacks. The posts likely aim to:
Evoke 9/11’s Emotional Weight: By using the Twin Towers’ imagery and the anniversary date, QAnon frames Comey and Brennan as central figures in a grand conspiracy, possibly implying their actions (real or alleged) contributed to national harm akin to 9/11.
Engage Followers in Decoding: The numerical patterns (50 and 48) and visual "towers" encourage QAnon followers to seek hidden meanings, perhaps linking to other posts, dates, or numerological interpretations.
Amplify Distrust: The posts reinforce QAnon’s narrative of a corrupt "deep state," using Comey and Brennan as symbols of institutional betrayal, though without evidence to support treason charges.
Conclusion
Q posts 4674 and 4675 use the repeated phrases "James Comey Treason" (5×10) and "John Brennan Treason" (4×12), arranged in stacked groups to symbolize the Twin Towers, posted on 9/11/2020 to evoke the attacks’ significance. This suggests a QAnon narrative accusing Comey and Brennan of betrayals as severe as 9/11, possibly tied to their roles in the Trump-Russia probe or speculative 9/11 conspiracies. The numerical and visual structure invites followers to decode further meanings, though no evidence supports the treason claims.
I remember discussing this when these posts first dropped but you have taken the decode to a even more powerful level. This touched me to my core. Thank you fren!
I found another "tower" connection between Comey and Brennan:
From 1996 to 2001, Comey served as the Managing Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, where he was involved in prosecuting cases related to terrorism, including the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 U.S. servicemen.
Brennan had a 25-year career at the CIA, starting as an analyst. In 1996, he was the CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the Khobar Towers bombing, which Comey later prosecuted. This role placed Brennan in a key position for gathering intelligence on regional terrorist activities, though not directly linked to the 9/11 plot.
Well, who knew? The Twin Towers weren't the same height:
"The Twin Towers, which were part of the original World Trade Center complex in New York City, had the following heights: the North Tower stood at 1,368 feet (417 m) and the South Tower measured 1,362 feet (415.1 m).
These heights made them the tallest buildings in the world at the time of their completion.
Additionally, the North Tower's TV mast raised its total height to 1,815 feet."
--Brave AI
So, perhaps this is why there are a different number of repeats of the names -- 48 vs 50 repetitions and 415.1 m vs 417 m. They're both off by approx. 2.
Do the 9/11/20 Twin Towers posts 7/09/2019, and dates 7/9/25 and 7/17/25 relate to Q 3387 which gave a 6 yr. timeline leading from 7/09/19 saying “Note next (6) years”. and q 1441 which has ”(6)” in it and has a “Start the clock”) message in it?

Not to worry, after a full investigation, going on the media and touting all the evidence, Bondi will tell us they have no evidence and the case will be closed.
It doesn't matter what they do at this point. All confidence in this DOJ has been lost. They simply can't be trusted.
Lets see...given that Trump likes to give conflicting signals to obfuscate significant moves...
Couple of weeks of Bongino (Deputy FBI Dir) and Patel FBI Director saying "no evidence".
Bondi says "we have video."
THEN we hear Comey and Brennan are being investigated.
[Trump laying groundwork to be able to say "I didn't just sic MY FBI on my political enemies. AND laying groundwork to say "Hey, look what we found that the prior FBI and CIA (Comey and Brennan) actively HID, illegally. The FACTS brought us here."]
[The video being Bondi's reasonable basis for authorizing the investigation of 2 people (Comey and Brennan) that are in fact Trump enemies.]
Trump may actually be building both INTEREST in the list...getting the Media talking about it, etc...and creating a scenario that the charges, starting with Comey/Brennan, came about naturally, rather than based on personal animus.
BOTTOM LINE: The Bongino/Patel comments, followed by the Bondi comments, followed by the "Comey and Brennan being investigated" news did not happen by accident.
Why not Clapper? did he already "sell out" his co-conspirators?
