John Brennan: President Trump’s Claims of No Collusion Are Hogwash
New York Times ^ | 16 August 2018 | John Butthole

Posted on 08/16/2018 11:20:19 AM PDT by Magnatron

When Alexander Bortnikov, the head of Russia’s internal security service, told me during an early August 2016 phone call that Russia wasn’t interfering in our presidential election, I knew he was lying. Over the previous several years I had grown weary of Mr. Bortnikov’s denials of Russia’s perfidy — about its mistreatment of American diplomats and citizens in Moscow, its repeated failure to adhere to cease-fire agreements in Syria and its paramilitary intervention in eastern Ukraine, to name just a few issues.

When I warned Mr. Bortnikov that Russian interference in our election was intolerable and would roil United States-Russia relations for many years, he denied Russian involvement in any election, in America or elsewhere, with a feigned sincerity that I had heard many times before. President Vladimir Putin of Russia reiterated those denials numerous times over the past two years, often to Donald Trump’s seeming approval.

Russian denials are, in a word, hogwash.

Nice trick there by the Times. Brennen says no interference is hogwash. Times takes the line and replaces interference with collusion.

Two very different things. Brennen knew there was interference.......and did nothing. DID NOTHING!!!!! Same as his worthless bit of garbage boss, Obambi. Like knowing the priests were raping the kids but did nothing. Pathetic scum. Special place in hell for you Brennen......

So Mr. Brennen is discussing the contents of what was most likely a highly classified call? He deserves to lose his clearance if not arrested for disclosing classified information.

Brennan is a partisan hack. He is no genius. He is not great at his job. Bush got rid of him. Obama took him back. He says he is an independant but clearly he is just as partisan as he could be. And while he says that Trump is a wack, there have never been CIA directors who have so publicly attacked a president. He lied to congress even before Trump ever showed up. Brennan and/or Clapper are the masterminds of the Swamp. And never before has the CIA spent so much time trying to steer the US presidential election. Brennan could be the most dangerous man in the government because the CIA can hide everything they do.

The thing is, Brennan’s resting b*tch face is ALWAYS the same as it is in the posted photo—a hideous perpetual grimace.

He looks like he hasn’t had a bowel movement in four weeks and is killing himself trying to pass one.

Nations don’t have friends; they just have interests.

It is in Russia’s interests that the USA should be weak.

How stupid does a person have to be to imagine that Putin and Russia would have preferred President Trump to Felonia von Pantsuit?

On July 19, 2004, it was revealed that the United States Department of Justice was investigating Berger for unauthorized removal of classified documents in October 2003 from a National Archives reading room prior to testifying before the 9/11 Commission. The documents were five classified copies of a single report commissioned from Richard Clarke covering internal assessments of the Clinton Administration’s handling of the unsuccessful 2000 millennium attack plots. An associate of Berger said Berger took one copy in September 2003 and four copies in October 2003, allegedly by stuffing the documents into his socks and pants.[19][20] Berger subsequently lied to investigators when questioned about the removal of the documents.[21]

In April 2005, Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material from the National Archives in Washington, D.C.[22]

“Brennan is in full panic right now.”

When you see them shutting up and fleeing the country, then you’ll know that they’re panicking about something.

Right now they know the rat bastard, Jeff Sessions, has their backs.

You know Trump needs to send out a tweet informing Americans that Brennan voted commie. I bet you most Americans have no clue and would be rather surprised.

Brennan is simply not believable: past, present and future. In Mark Bowden’s “The Finish” he relates how Brennan put out false information on the raid on OBLaden’s compound in Abbotabad. He lied when he said that Obama resisted; he lied when he said the men in the compound used women as shields. He even went farther and claimed that OBL used his wife as a shield. All this was done to make OBL look bad (and Brennan appear all-knowing). (Bowden, page 244.) As Bowden put it, “He gloated a little, before a world-wide audience. His comments proved to be an embarrassment.”

Brennan continues to be an embarrassment.

John Butthurt went to great lengths to create a Russia collusion narrative.
