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

Posted on 02/04/2018 11:21:29 AM PST by jazusamo

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.”

Isn’t Brennan the guy on whose watch we lost every human asset/agent in China?

It’s a feather in Nunes’s cap to be scolded by John Brenan.

I’m not sure. Is that connected to the Chinese guy (former CIA?) who was just arrested?

No, Clapper is the former army mil intel, c-47 flying radio surveillance Vietnam era grunt who is 1.)not too bright and 2.) has repeatedly lied under oath, and 3.) either can’t remember shiite or deliberately not bright enough— and so chosen by obamaumao to be easily cut out/into his machinations of “transformation”.

One prime example— when asked, on television early in obamaumao admin, about bombings of the London subways (as in “what just happened in London” context of question), Clapper says/asks the reporter- “what happened in London?” A dumba@@.

Brennan/former cia dir. is the muslim communist and perjurer.

A couple of stupid, vile snakes these two. Smart snake-eaters who are Patriots— this is what we need.

Brennan is scared, and life is hard when you are scared and stupid. At least ignorance could be cured.

Brennan, the guy who lied to the Congressional Oversight Committee? He should be in jail with no pension, not talking to reporters.

all the swampers are coming out of the woodwork this weekend repeating the same script from DNC/CIA daily talking points.

how could nunes put the country at such risk?
how could trump create such a constitutional crisis?
how could the repubs put the security of the country at risk?
let mueller continue his investigation until he gets to the bottome of this Russian collusion.

That’s exactly what they’re doing.

Lying doesn’t bother them in the least, Rats are Rats.

He never saw anything worse? Really? How about when Brennan were caught illegally spying on the US Senate. Constitutional crisis, and he didn’t even get a slap on the wrist.

Obama politicized everything.

They are also projecting. The "cherry pick" talking point applies exactly to how the Dem FBI took snippets from the bogus political dossier for use in the warrant application. The risk to the republic (which they endorse) is from the Dem FBI stonewalling legitimate and very important oversight requests. The security of the country was and is compromised by Dem leakers tying to derail Trump.

I don't have any problem with Mueller continuing as long as he tosses the tainted evidence, which at this point, seems to be most or all.

Brennan would look dignified in orange. The climate in Cuba is quite pleasant. He could without fear pray five times per day and cultivate a real walnut on his forehead. He could leave the Koran and prayer mat out in the open in his cell. He and Barack could play soccer together and reminisce over hallal meals. Life for them at Gitmo doesn’t get much better than that.

Undercover jihadis are allowed to go without beards.... They are even allowed to drink alcohol and consort with lewd women and prostitutes.
