In Scathing Attack, CIA Director Brennan Warns Trump To "Watch What He Says"
Zero Hedge ^ | 1-15-2017 | Tyler Durban

The departing CIA director John Brennan has launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump, warning the President-elect does not fully understand the threat posed to the US by Russia.

As Reuters reports, Brennan's comments, during an interview on "Fox News Sunday," exposed the simmering tensions between the president-elect and the intelligence community he has criticized and is on the verge of commanding.

Brennan also questioned the message it sends to the world if the president-elect broadcasts he does not have confidence in the United States' own intelligence agencies.

The intelligence community had an opportunity to state their case and present their evidence to Trump.
Trump apparently disagreed.

Brennan’s angry position sounds a lot like every liberal we have ever disagreed with in argument: “You just don’t GET IT!” (You don’t understand. You are stupid.)

Screw him and every other loser spook still carrying Zero’s water. Five more days of this nonsense. Fire them.

“Brennan is a Muslim convert and pro-Islamic policy maker. He is dangerous”
Obama is a Muslim. They deny it but his actions show otherwise.
Have you seen the video or photos where Obama is walking past the leaders of the Middle East and gives them the pointer finger salute which means there is no god greater than allah?

CIA’s Brennan knew Clinton was using an unsecured server, and allowed it!

Why is that?

Is Brennan complicit in Clintons treasonous actions?

Why should we believe anything that Brennan says?

Democrats and moslems pose a much bigger threat to America.

Has it been checked by our msm investigators when he got his U S citizenship back after his Indonesian father adopted him (Indonesia doesn’t allow dual citizenship) and he traveled to his Pakistani boy friends home in 1980 when Americans were not allowed into the country. Only a foreign exchange student from occidental college traveling on his Indonesian passport could have gone there. He would have had to petition for reinstatement of his citizenship.

Brennan should be thrown against a wall and shot for treason.

Now THAT would be a day 1 job for Trump.

Rather, what would it look like if if everyone thought Trump DID have confidence in the CIA stumblebums?

The Valerie Plane Affair forever answered the question as to whether the CIA has become politicized. Hey, I know! Let’s sent my husband t I Africa on a fact-finding mission! Elitist, Ivy League snobs in action.

The Ministry of Propaganda was focused on carrying out their assigned task of Alinskying as a “birther” anyone who questioned the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
They were disgustingly ably assisted by the GOP in that regard.

John Brennan, CIA Director, before he was CIA Director had an employee of his private security firm go in and tamper with Obama’s passport records, along with McCain and Hillary’s to make it look good.
That employee was later found shot to death in his car in an unsolved mysterious homicide.

If Trump plans to ‘go to war’ with the CIA he best do it out in the open. Making quiet behind the scenes moves is their playing field. They’ll win every time.

“I hope to God that Trump and all of his cabinet are on Free Republic reading these comments so that if they have any doubt where we all stand it will be erased and they will also know (if they don’t already) the well-educated guesses here about Brennan being a Muslim and being someone who is not very pro-american-if at all!”

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE....(with or without reading one another)

Donald Trump HAS BEEN VERY PRESCIENT concerning defending our nation for a very long time.

Russia is a threat. Iran is a threat. ISIS is a threat.

The biggest threat is the Islamists and Communists within the federal government.

Months ago, Brennan invited local reporters and reporterettes from around the country to visit him. He told them his number one concern was cyber security. Then he sent them back to their local stations to spread his word. And to sing his praises having earned the trust of these young dodo bird millennials. We heard one being interviewed on local talk radio. She seemed to have been totally taken in. But Russia wasn’t mentioned that I recall.

Imagine the Director of the CIA going on national television to threaten and belittle the President of the U.S.

Let that sink in and ponder it
