Ex-CIA chief John Brennan’s ‘unhinged,’ partisan attacks on Trump raise eyebrows

Former CIA director John Brennan raised eyebrows this week when he went on national television and suggested the Russians “may have something” on President Trump.

Brennan, who led the CIA during the Obama administration, later conceded to The New York Times that he actually had no knowledge to back the claim.

To critics, this was yet another example of increasingly hostile and partisan behavior toward Trump from the former leader of an agency that considers itself above partisanship.

“For John Brennan, the most recent former CIA director, to come forward and insinuate -- on national TV -- that a sitting president is the subject of blackmail by a foreign adversary is outrageous,” Buck Sexton, a former CIA officer, said in an interview.

“There used to be a day when intelligence officials, whether they were in office or out of office, would not spew innuendo like that, especially such grave charges,” Wall Street Journal writer Kim Strassel said on Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle.”

Brennan, who is now an analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, has not shied away from expressing his extreme distaste for Trump. But critics argue he is going farther than others who have led the spy agency.

Earl Browder is another interesting case. He was forced out as head of the Party after WW2. He had a couple of sons who became world-class mathematicians.

Felix Browder was a functional analyst at the University of Chicago. Bill was an algebraic topologist at Princeton.

There is a common thread with almost everything that is destroying America and that is the GOP. They enable, turn a blind eye or outright complicit with the left. The fact that this POS can spew his vomit is disgusting. He should never have been confirmed. I don’t know the vote but it is irrelevant now. I don’t think the GOP stopped one Obama appointee.

Even for the Obama administration, Brennen was a real low for the country.

A Muslim. A Communist. A known Liar. Head of the CIA.

You couldn't write a movie script this bizarre.

He served under Obama. I say liberal traitor.

But, I ascribe Obama’s traits to all of his hired underlings.

I’m biased like that.

““For John Brennan, the most recent former CIA director, to come forward and insinuate — on national TV — that a sitting president is the subject of blackmail by a foreign adversary is outrageous,” Buck Sexton, a former CIA officer, said in an interview.”

One of the arguments against Bill Clinton’s obvious immoral behavior while in the White House was that foreign intelligence services might realize an opportunity to blackmail him to the detriment of US security. That argument was pooh-poohed then by Democrats, so why should we buy that argument now?

I think the cool part of all this is that, after years and years of conspiracy this and conspiracy that, we finally have an actual full-blown conspiracy on our hands and all of the right people are going to go to jail, Brennan included.

It’s going to be a “buy more popcorn” year.

To many libbots anything said negative about Trump is true. Evidence to the contrary, or logic that proves the negative wrong, mean absolutely nothing to them. They have an insatiable appetite for hateful things purported about Trump. You cannot give them enough of them. They are who the left plays to, and there are hoards of them. Of course, they also play to the average dummy, who mindlessly believes anything the MSM tells them. Many could not begin to understand, nor accept the fact that the MSM is an enemy agent.
