John Brennan denies blame for calling Trump a ‘traitor,’ says ‘I received bad information’

The man who used to run the CIA, and lost his job when Donald Trump took office, did a huge amount of damage to the United States by calling the sitting president a traitor. Because of his presumed access to information unavailable to the public, many foreign leaders had reason to believe that they could resist the demands and requests of President Trump by simply outlasting him in office. Think Kim Jong un, Xi Jin ping, Angela Merkel, and of course Vladimir Putin for starters.

Victor Davis Hanson has pointed out that almost fifty years of American diplomacy has rested on the policy initiated by Henry Kissinger of playing off Russia and China against each other, but the Russia conspiracy hoax put an end to the ability of President Trump to use that valuable tool.  Brennan has been throwing around charges of treason for a long time:

Brennan castigated Trump for a widely condemned joint appearance with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland in which Trump suggested he found Putin more credible than the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors’,” Brennan tweeted, using language associated with impeachment. “It was nothing short of ‘treasonous’. Not only were Trump’s comments ‘imbecilic’, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”

Brennan has kept up his false attacks on Trump through regular appearances on MSNBC, where he is a paid contributor. Including very recently, as Terry Moran of ABC is pointing out

IIRC, that “bad data” thing didn’t work so well for George W with the leftist media.

A very pathetic attempt to cover his butt after being a vocal mouthpiece for the Coup.

‘I received bad information’

Wasn’t that also his excuse as the worst CIA director in history for doctoring the intelligence that came up through the ranks from hard working agents who complained about his doctoring the intelligence to meet the needs of Obama’s narrative that he had to sell to the public

This dope is now a former CIA director who peddles himself as a D.C. insider with all kinds of access to information that is not available to the public ... and he has been exposed as a self-aggrandizing hack at best, and an audacious liar at worst.

Even leftist media outlets will steer clear of him now.

As one of this idiot CIA Chief’s predecessors said, when GW Bush asked George Tenet whether he could verify there were WMDs in Iraq, “you can take it to the bank, Mr. President”.

What I really want in a CIA director is a shmoe who can’t recognize bad information that roughly half the country knew smelled to high heaven.

He was a key ringleader. He knew.

Let us not even pretend to entertain the possibility he is speaking truth. This person will continue to lie until the lever for his rope is pulled and the trap door drops beneath his feet.

"I was given bad information."

Says the man who ran one of our primary 'information' agencies. You really can't make this stuff up. Seriously.
