Brennan says Trump’s claims of no collusion with Russia are ‘hogwash’
MSN News ^ | 8/16/2018 | John Wagner

Posted on 08/16/2018 9:25:51 AM PDT by detective

Former CIA director John Brennan struck back at President Trump on Thursday, writing in a blistering op-ed that Trump’s claims of no collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential election are “hogwash.”

The piece, posted on the New York Times website, came a day after Trump announced he was stripping the security clearance of Brennan, who led the CIA during most of President Barack Obama’s second term and has emerged as one of Trump’s fiercest critics.

In his op-ed, Brennan characterized Trump’s action as “politically motivated” and said it was “an attempt to scare into silence others who might dare to challenge him.”

Brennan wrote that it is “critically important” that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III be permitted to complete his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia.

Brennan needs to be investigated, questioned under oath, prosecuted and imprisoned.

Brennan is as nasty and Evil as they come. He’s a Communist and Muslim enemy of the United States and continues to be a threat.

Brennan deserves life in prison or the death penalty..

The penalties for this coup should be so severe and brutal that it is never attempted again.

TELL US HOW YOU KNOW, THEN!!!

That would be what’s called ‘evidence’, which is what Mueller’s been looking for, for 2 years...

Do you have any?

Never gonna happen. None of these traitorous animals will face justice, unfortunately.

If he thinks it’s hogwash, then how does he explain that two years later, with all the power of the Obama-based intelligence services, they’ve got nothing.

Brennan is dangerously close to breaking down. I think one or two more nudges by Pres. Trump, and he’ll crack and spill all the beans on Obama and his conspirators.

If he has knowledge of such evidence then he’s leaking classified info. If not, then he’s making a serious claim that’s utterly baseless.

And either way he proves Trump was right to pull his clearance.

This person is very unAmerican, very evil and a liar. Why did he ever have a clearance?

So where is his proof? I know he looked as hard as anyone if not harder...so he could be a lefty hero forever...why hasn’t he brought forward his evidence?

Another shrill lefty with nothing...what a surprise.
