Trump Responds To CIA Chief Brennan, Asks "Was He The Leaker Of Fake News?"
Zero Hedge ^ | 2017-01-15 | Tyler Durden

Just hours after John Brennan lashed out at the president-elect in an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump has responded by suggesting that the outgoing CIA Director may have been behind the publication last week of unverified and salacious intelligence connecting the president-elect to Russia....

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

.@FoxNews "Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand." Oh really, couldn't do...

much worse - just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?

This is the most direct accusation yet in the escalating feud with Obama's intelligence agencies. As we noted earlier, no president since John F. Kennedy has dared to take on the CIA or the rest of the national security establishment. They knew that if they opposed the national-security establishment at a fundamental level, they would be subjected to retaliatory measures. To the extent that President Kennedy consciously stood up to the system, he paid the price for his attempt at independent wielding of power from the Oval Office. It is a shuddering thought. A sharp lesson in history that must not be misinterpreted. The implications for Trump are quite clear. If his refusal to take intelligence briefings, or follow CIA advice is serious, then serious consequences will follow. If Trump is serious about peace with Putin when they insist on war, there will be a problem.

Brennan is less guilty of treason than he who gave Brennan his job as head of the CIA.

The leaker could be Brennan or a proxy under his control.

Obama should fire Brennan as one of his first tasks on January 20. Send him to Gitmo.

The Deep State goes to War while Democrats cheer-article written by Greenwald was posted here recently.

Interview of Ron Paul re Deep State was on You Tube. Interview by BBC of a retired MI5 agent regarding the Deep State and need to control the CIA. Chucky Schumer warning the Intelligence Agencies have six ways from Sunday to get even.

Yes, Assassination has been hinted at in many ways and in many news outlets all over the world. Truman’s Op Ed to return the CIA to just collection of data and stop it’s operations was written in December 1963, shortly after the assassination of President Kennedy - I don’t think that was entirely a co-incidence.

On FOX Sunday, Brennan answered a question by saying, “Mr. Trump and Vice-President Elect Mike Pence...”

Not “President-Elect Donald Trump.” He said “Mr. Trump and Vice-President Elect Mike Pence.” Quite telling.

Schumer predicted that there would be payback, and now we've seen our first example of it.

1 way down, and 5 more ways to go.

Before now, with all this dirty trickery, and certainly back then, few Americans could accept that our CIA could possibly be behind the assassination of President Kennedy. It was too much that a president was dead, assassinated on TV. We could not make that leap.

Even now looking back, it is hard to believe we were already this evil, then. So many things are hard to accept, but nevertheless....

This brings up a question. The Kennedy Assassination has not been opened up in full, has it? If it were the CIA, there would be no evidence that survived to indicate it, never mind proving it.

One of the more disturbing irregularities in the JFK case involved an FBI agent named Marvin Gheesling. Agent Gheesling removed the FLASH (security watch ) on Oswald on 10/9/63 that had been in place since Oswald defected to the Soviet Union in the 50s. If the FLASH had not been removed the Secret Service would have been aware of Oswald’s presence in Dallas & he would have been flagged. The FBI has never explained why the security watch was removed at that crucial time.

The context is very important here: Oswald went to Mexico City in late September. The FBI & the CIA knew that, and Oswald’s visit was under review in early October by a team of American intelligence agents. How the FLASH gets turned off at this time under these circumstances is troubling, to say the least.

I like that he’s called out this scumbag but I must admit it makes me a little nervous. Maybe he should have waited until the 21st until he let em have it.They can still do a lot of damage or worse..

Putting the enemy in places of sensitive national security concerns is a kind of misplaced appeasement to America’s enemies. It’s how the left thinks - the stupids.
