Former CIA chief John Brennan slams Devin Nunes for ‘reckless’ handling of memo
The Washington Times ^ | February 4, 2018 | Tom Howell Jr.

Former C.I.A. Director John Brennan on Sunday chastised the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee on Sunday for his handling of a bombshell memo that delved into the secretive world of surveillance courts, saying the push to expose bias at the FBI was one-sided and shut out opposing views.

Mr. Brennan, who served under President Obama, said Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican, could have held hearings to expose potential problems at the FBI, but instead put out “very selective, cherry-picked” memo without allowing Democrats to offer a rebuttal memo.

“I never, ever saw the Democrats do something like this that was so partisan, so reckless and really just laid waste to the protocols that governed committees,” Mr. Brennan told NBC’s Meet the Press. “And Devin Nunes, over the past several months, all the way back to the spring of last year I think has been engaged in these tactics purely to defend, make excuses and try to protect Mr. Trump.”

And they all, including Brennan, today, keep using the word(s), “cherry picked”, as their coordinated talking points.

That is WaPo reporting what Brennan said to DiFi at a senate hearing. I’m sure Clapper lied too.

Shut Brennan. You said “cherry picked”. He is just a DNC hack with talking points.

Brennan’s day of reckoning is coming.

Notice how he complains about the facts in the Nunes memo
but DOES NOT demand the source documents be released too.

He knows the source documents backs up the facts in Nunes memo.

Brennan needs to indicted, found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad.

It’s confusing but it looks to me like DiFi made the allegations on the Senate floor and then later Mitchell is the one that actually questioned Brennan on it.

I could be wrong but check this link.

Brennan doesn’t seem to mind all the selective cherry picked crap that he and his cohorts and the press have been shoveling for 9 years.

The same Brennan former catholic....convert to islam(!!! how is that possible?) who, along with Comey, and DNI Clapper screamed for the FIRING of Admiral Rogers (hero) of NSA, after Rogers visited Trump to tell him he was being illegally spied on. Rogers did this a few days after the election, and right after he did- Trump moved his entire team out of Trump Tower out to his Bedford Golf Resort.

Brennan is a snake.. a stupid and now caught snake- who can see the Posse coming for him. What a POS islamofascist clown (who also might add, said he voted “communist” in his past- and he still made it up the ladder to Cia director).
