President Trump on Monday shared a quote from a former Secret Service agent and conservative commentator, Dan Bongino, who slammed former CIA director John Brennan.

“’John Brennan is panicking. He has disgraced himself, he has disgraced the Country, he has disgraced the entire Intelligence Community. He is the one man who is largely responsible for the destruction of American’s faith in the Intelligence Community and in some people at the........top of the FBI.” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“Brennan started this entire debacle about President Trump. We now know that Brennan had detailed knowledge of the (phony) Dossier...he knows about the Dossier, he denies knowledge of the Dossier, he briefs the Gang of 8 on the Hill about the Dossier, which.......they then used to start an investigation about Trump,” the president added.

Valjar was, and still is, Obama’s handler. And mommy.

The Saudis dumped something like $20 million into Hillary's presidential campaign. Islamist Brennan apparently is part of their contingency plan.

Maybe there should be a collusion investigation into that!

Didn’t Brennan make his bones with Obama by scrubbing the US Passport data?

and then “accessing” McCain’s and Hillary’s as cover?

The Transparent Positioning of Brennan, Clapper and Comey…
Posted on April 29, 2018 by sundance

Just a quick note on the current tone and confrontational content coming from former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA Director John Brennan.

There is a great deal of discussion about the combative and hate-riddled language coming from Comey, Clapper and particularly Brennan. Be aware their combative posture as an actual risk avoidance strategy.

Each of the three heavily corrupt officials engaged in the most substantive abuse of their intelligence positions for political purposes. Each of them weaponized their offices against their political opposition. The scope and severity therein is a story yet to surface; and unlike prior examples of weaponizing the DOJ and IRS, there is no administration in place to protect them from investigative sunlight.

Therefore the Comey, Clapper and Brennan defense strategy is to position themselves politically and lean on their like-minded media allies for support. Their adversarial posture is intended to draw the Trump administration into political combat, thereby diminishing any investigative outcomes behind a false shield of political prosecution.

In short this crew needs to frame any element of accountability -based on their prior behavior- as simple political retribution. According to their playbook, the more aggressive, nasty, hate-filled and oppositional they are in their public displays; the greater likelihood they can call any indictments political retaliation. This is a historic approach.

In order for the approach to work, the public must be very well aware of their collective antagonisms and attacks against the current administration. This is why their media allies emphasize each occurrence so much.

If the larger American public see the Comey, Clapper and Brennan attacks as commonplace, the more likely a larger segment of that same public will see any corresponding DOJ legal proceeding as retaliation for those attacks.

Once this defense strategy is deployed, do not expect to see it diminish. Quite the contrary; the strategy is contingent upon ever-increasing and more outlandish attacks.

Historically this approach has a proven track record of success amid Democrats because the media (writ large) generally aligns with it. [See Bob Menendez for a recent example]

Two different stories to the gang of eight. One for the dems and one for the Republicans. The latter was probably a total whitewash.

-Believes that tactics like waterboarding are not only inconsistent with “our ideals as a nation,” but also “undermine our national security” because they “are a recruitment bonanza for terrorists”
-Explains that “jihad” means “to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal”
-Supports trials of Islamic terrorists in civilian courts rather than in military tribunals
-In 2011, he called for the FBI to eliminate its “offensive” curriculum/training materials which made reference to “jihad” and “radical Islam.”

I sort of agree. He’s basically an airhead with a nice smile, but he was thoroughly indoctrinated into the far left at a young age. The two aspects of himself played off each other the whole way up, the leftism appealed to the hard-core true believers, but the smile appealed to the mainstream. Ultimately, you have to remember thought, that despite his best efforts, he really delivered for neither.

I really believe that Hussein Obama is not very bright. I doubt he has the intellectual capacity for any abstract thought. He was merely the Magic Negroe that was elevated to his position by the real power brokers. He is the hot girl that the magician has on stage with him. He was used as the misdirect. While the media breathlessly reported stories on this clown and published photos of him stuffing that massive man handling device of a mouth with food, the real power brokers were undermining our country. Hussein Obama, this is the idiot, the queer retarded idiot who did not know how to go through a gate with an umbrella. He is a real life Chauncey Gardener.

I am in substantial, if not complete, agreement with you on this

the key to all of this is finding Misfud. Supposedly he’s gone missing since October

Has anyone checked Ft. Marcy Park?

Seriously

“’John Brennan is panicking.""

Not to mention the conga-line of Freepers who've been chanting 24/7, "Nothing will change, no one will be prosecuted, no one will be held responsible".

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
thanks for the reminder. That passport thing was a really important loose end that the media should have reported in great detail. The idea that someone was (allegedly) fired over that is just so ironic. Look at all the crap that happened throughout the entire 8-years of 0bambi, and then reflect on how very few people got fired for far worse. Supposedly, the passport-peeper only LOOKED in the files; not aware that he/she leaked anything to anyone.

And some people act surprised that we see possibility of another civil war in the USA
