Polygraph panic: CIA director fretted his vote for communist
CNN Politics ^ | September 15, 2016 | Tal Kopan

At his first polygraph test to enter the CIA, the future director had a secret.

John Brennan on Thursday recalled being asked a standard question for a top security clearance at his early CIA lie detector test: Have you ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the US? "I froze," Brennan said during a panel discussion about diversity in the intelligence community at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual conference. "This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,"

You forgot the part where they run him over with tracked vehicles, burn the remains and wash the ash and parts down the sewer with a fire hose. But then he could not be buried alive.

Compromise? After the first round: shot, hanged, drawn and quartered, buried up to the neck, face smeared with honey in the full summer sun, then after a few hours dug up and run over with tracked vehicles and wash the ash and parts down the sewer with a fire hose ... Would that work?

Voting for Gus Hall? What a loser! Both of them.

If US Government officials can lie to the American people and Congress under oath, and not be prosecuted, then why question them at all?

Just accept them of banana republic govt. officials and leave them alone!

Should we be looking back at his actions to see if he was undermining the US during his tenure?

Doubt that ‘if’ is operative. He was.

Is he a communist and a subversive, or just an idiot who pissed away his vote? I’m thinking the former. A frivolous vote wouldn’t seem to be something that would stick in one’s conscience, or even memory, for forty years.

Any questions about his affinity for foot-baths, prayer rugs, and jihad?

Damn him to Hell. My father was blackballed from every restaurant in NYC for three years. His “crime”? He fought the Communists’s corruption of the union. The Communists were deported in 1949.

Eight years later, my dad was still getting visits from the FBI.

Unbelievable! I’m amazed he even got into the CIA, much less promoted later to head it. Was the CIA desperate for applicants at the time?

He’s a communist and a muslim, like the president who hired him. If he was a gay cokehead, the mind meld would be complete.

"This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,"

And I'm sure he voted for Carter in 1980. We trusted this clown's judgement and integrity with our national intelligence capability. And of course he politicized it totally, collaborating with the FBI to create a secret police behind the scenes to use intel to obtain political results. He should be jailed and I hope he is when all this comes out. But with Jeff Sessions running interference in DOJ I doubt anyone involved in this nefarious scheming has any problems ultimately.

In 1976 without the internet anyone could walk into a public library & look up everything they needed to know about CPUSA chairthing Gus Hall, who was a slavish Stalinist well to the left of Angela Davis.

Brennan knew exactly what he was doing.

1976, the heart of the Cold War

He voted for Gus Hall over Carter, the second worse President and then worked for jOkeass, the worst Pres__ent we have ever had. He should have been what the CIA trained enhanced interrogation techniques on.
