I have never heard any former Director level the venom and hatred at a sitting president as Brennan has.

He’s committed treason as far as I can see with his rhetoric and underhanded methods of attempting to promote a coup.

The conspirators are more than Brennan and Clapper. Add McCabe, the other FBI guy and his babe, Comey, Clintons, former AG under Obama, etc. It is a sizable group and IMO the evidence is strong. I hope there is a Grand Jury sitting and ready to issue an indictment. Excuse my lapse of name memory - I am late in my 80’s and senior moments come all too often.

Brenner senses his own culpability in the matter of treason and is panicking. Something HAS to be done about him at this point...

Charles Faddis Senior Editor, Former CIA operative, Host of USCS Charles S. (Sam) Faddis, Senior Partner with Artemis, LLC is a former CIA operations officer with...Brennan.

Dear Mr. Brennan,
I understand that you are a political opponent of the current President of the United States. I understand that you are an American citizen, and you have the right to freedom of speech. I encourage you to utilize that right. I encourage you to speak your mind. I encourage you, as I do all Americans, to be heard.

I implore you, however to cease and desist from continuing to attempt to portray yourself in the public media as some sort of impartial critic concerned only with the fate of the republic. I beg you to stop attempting to portray yourself as some sort of wise, all-knowing intelligence professional with deep knowledge of national security issues and no political inclinations whatsoever.
None of this is true.

You were never a spy. You were never a case officer. You never ran operations or recruited sources or worked the streets abroad. You have no idea whatsoever of the true nature of the business of human intelligence. You have never been in harm’s way. You have never heard a shot fired in anger.

You were for a short while an intelligence analyst. In that capacity, it was your job to produce finished intelligence based on information provided to you by others. The work of intelligence analysts is important, however in truth you never truly mastered this trade either.

In your capacity as an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency, while still a junior officer, you were designated to brief the President of the United States who was at that time Bill Clinton. As the presidential briefer, it was your job to read to the president each morning finished intelligence written by others based on intelligence collected by yet other individuals. Period.

While serving as presidential briefer you established a personal relationship with then President Bill Clinton. End of story.

Everything that has transpired in your professional career since has been based on your personal relationship with the former president, his wife Hillary and their key associates. Your connection to President Obama was, in fact, based on you having established yourself by the time he came to office as a reliable, highly political Democratic Party functionary.

All of your commentary in the public sphere is on behalf of your political patrons. It is no more impartial analysis then would be the comments of a paid press spokesman or attorney. You are speaking each and every time directly on behalf of political forces hostile to this president. You are, in fact, currently on the payroll of both NBC and MSNBC, two of the networks most vocally opposed to President Trump and his agenda.

There is no impartiality in your comments. Your assessments are not based on some sober judgment of what is best for this nation. They are based exclusively on what you believe to be in the best interests of the politicians with whom you long since allied yourself.

It should be noted that not only are you most decidedly not apolitical but that you have been associated during your career with some of the greatest foreign policy disasters in recent American history.

As CIA Director for Barack Obama you:
-Presided over the Iran nuclear deal, which allowed Iran to escape from decades of containment and set the Middle East on fire.
-Watched while Russia annexed Crimea and then reestablished itself as a hostile force in the Middle East.
-Dithered and tinkered with organizational wiring diagrams at Headquarters while China annexed and fortified the entire South China Sea.

The extent to which you are tied directly to the Clintons, Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is clearly evident in the emotional nature of your recent commentary. Ever since this president was elected there has been a concerted effort to delegitimize him and destabilize him. This has been an unprecedented attempt to undermine the stability of the republic in order to achieve partisan political advantage. You and your patrons have been complicit in this effort and at its very heart. Now as the Mueller investigation collapses of its own weight and the extent of this conspiracy is beginning to become clear you are in evident panic. You should be.

You are free to do as you wish politically. Stop representing to the American people that there is anything else at play. You abandoned any hope of being a true intelligence professional decades ago and became a political hack. Say so.

“Or are they in the headlines so much they can’t get arkancided.”

But we can hope that that isn’t the case. Reading that these two have been found face down in a ditch would be a cause for celebration in our household. The problem we face today is that the “intelligence community” is the “traffic cop” in the Swamp!

"John is subtle like a freight train and he’s gonna say what’s on his mind."

Sounds like our President in that regard.

They are cannibalizing each other now. I see the colloquial expression “unhinged” as somewhat cliche but if it ever applied,it applies to this traitor, Brennan. I assess him as mentally ill and delusional. The attempted coup, headed by him, apparently has crashed and burned. “ Oh the humanity” as the entire cabal is exposed and purged. I think Brennan should be on suicide watch because he has become a danger to himself as well as the country.

“”All of us believe it is critical to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure,” the group wrote in a letter obtained by CNN.”

Did this group of concerned intelligence officials release a similar statement when the news broke that Hillary has sent classified information via email from an unprotected server kept in the shitter?

Vocal Americans are unable to find the truth. It is so ugly to watch the partisan hatreds rule what used to be our thought processes.

“Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) on Thursday took aim at Brennan for “purport[ing] to know, as fact, that the Trump campaign colluded with a foreign power.””

Coming from Richard “Aaron” Burr that’s surprising. We know that the Senate is screwed up knowing that this feckless turd is the ‘chairman” of the Senate Intelligence Committee, when he has the intellect of an amoeba.

The issue is Brennan orchestrated an attempted coup of the Trump Administration. Clapper aided in this attempt. They both should be in prison.

As it started with Ukrainians and British intelligence sting operations, it may not have been Brennan's idea. But certainly Brennan picked up on it later and during and after the election he fed unmaskings to the FBI (among many other deeds).

I'm sure Clapper assisted however he could. And the collusion probe might have been his idea first (before Brennan). But then maybe not. I think the bigger picture is that a lot of this will remain under wraps as there probably is no paper trail at all for some of the really dirty stuff.

What Trump has done is gotten Brennan to admit that Russian Collusion is Brennan's idea. The others are still "behind" Brennan, but the burden is now on Brennan. It's not looking good for Brennan.

For what purpose would Brennan need a security clearance since he has become a private citizen????

He would be paid a hundred grand by some Lockheed-type company to help bring in a classified contract. A couple weeks work for Brennan. Those can be worth a hundred million or more.

"But we believe equally strongly that former government officials have the right to express their unclassified views on what they see as critical national security issues without fear of being punished for doing so."

Even if Trump was punishing Brennen, which he wasn't, Trump still has the "right" to fire Brennan.

Clapper is a dumbass.

"I think that the common denominator among all of us [in the intelligence community] that have been speaking up … is genuine concern about the jeopardy and threats to our institutions," Clapper said.

That's the whole coup in a nut shell. Protect the institutions over the President, Constitution, and the will of the people.
