Ex-CIA head Brennan on Trump attacks: I may have relied on ‘bad information’
nypost.com ^ | 3/25/19 | Joe Tacopino

Posted on 03/26/2019 1:56:47 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

Former head of the CIA John Brennan admitted on Monday that he may have relied on “bad information” for his relentless attacks on President Trump.

Brennan — who once warned that “our Nation’s future is at stake” — told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he may have been misled on the extent of Trump’s connections to Russia.

“Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was,” Brennan said. “I am relieved that it’s been determined there was not a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government over our election.”

The former spy chief was reacting to a summary report by Attorney General William Barr released on Saturday that states there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Brennan still maintained that there were inappropriate attempts to communicate with the Kremlin but said he was “not all that surprised that the high bar of criminal conspiracy was not met.”

‘Great’ to hear/read our “sharpest, legal/military minds” would take ‘bad info’...and run, full-speed ahead (we’ll teach that iceburg).

NOTE: STILL not one word re: B. Barr’s flushing of the Executive rats/hold-overs. New boss, same as the old boss...

Trump can use the Mueller Report’s accusations of election manipulation as a reason for voter ID and election reform laws. Use the energy of the moment in your own favor and out strategize your opponent.

That word you just used, "Decimation".

It comes from the same latin root word as "Decimal", as in a decimal point, or one in ten.

Thus, the words "Decimate" or "Decimation" describe one out of ten.

In the Roman Empire, if an Army unit performed poorly, it would be "Decimated" by its commanders - one out of ten men would be killed. Sometimes, the unfortunates were chosen by drawing lots, at which point their own comrades, at a ratio of nine to one, would descend upon them and kill them.

Other times the unit commander would choose men to be killed by his own authority. The thinking behind this brutality must have been to remove the "weak links", etc.

This is where the word "Decimate" came from.

Conservatives need to do MUCH more than ENJOY the Liberal jerks who are having to own their crimes right now.

Tremendous political capital can and MUST be made out of what Liberals have done, have been doing and what they INTENDED with this ‘coup’.

Do Conservatives want to continue with their ‘nice guy’ tactics (which have NEVER worked) or do they want to step into the 21 century and face Liberals with their own tactics?

I'm tired of the Mitt Romney strategy of putting your opponent on the ropes then shaking hands and walking away

It could only have been ordered by Obama

I have said this many times. Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe are all bureaucrats, and pretty successful ones at that. The iron law of bureaucracy is that you don't take a dump without proof in the file that your superiors knew you needed to take a dump and authorized it.

What's even more interesting is how this ended, and why.

Two weeks ago, Mueller and Weissman were meeting with Barr, allegedly to receive permission to indict the Trump children.

At the drop of a hat, Weissman was out and Mueller was exonerating Trump.

I bet there was a deal to let Obama go (and Jarrett, Rice, and the other commanders of the conspiracy) in exchange for a few scalps at the McCabe and below level.

Notice how Brennan and Podesta are both out front today, saying "We accept the report, glad there was no collusion"?

I bet they were not given "get out of jail free" cards in the deal, and must be sweating bullets now.

Anyway, your point stands. Inconceivable a scheme of this magnitude was cooked up and run by career bureaucrats. And also inconceivable it was thought up by a sick old drunk like Hillary.

Obama's the one. Beyond a reasonable doubt.

The CIA has unlimited funding, works in absolute secret, and has zero accountability. Now tell me if this is not the perfect place for psychopaths and narcissists to excel to the top?

Such people have the ability to lie without conscience, take zero responsibility for their actions and not care who they harm whether it be an individual or the whole damn country!

I hope the trail leads to all those White House meetings with the coup plotters. Get them all under oath. Find a few John Deans.

Either too high or too low is OK. Either pops his head off or he has a slow strangulation.

If you apply the broken window theory to politics, we are now in the “no go” zone.

Susan Rice obviously made a big mistake with the email to file that revealed the 1/5/17 Oval Office meeting, where Obama gave the plotters instructions for life after 1/20/17.

But, if Obama was not immunized as part of the deal to end the Mueller "investigation", it would still be going on.

President Trump does not have enough support in Congress to successfully prosecute Obama and remain in office. Sad, but true.
