Former CIA chief John Brennan thinks Donald Trump is being easily fooled by Vladimir Putin.

Brennan and James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, were responding to Trump’s remarks in Asia where he said he believed Putin when the Russian leader stated he had not tried to interfere in the 2016 election in the US. […]

And to try paint it in any other way is, I think, astounding, and, in fact, poses a peril to this country. […]

Clapper said he agrees with Brennan, saying Trump is easily flattered. “He seems very susceptible to rolling out the red carpet and honor guards and all the trappings and pomp and circumstance that come with the office, and I think that appeals to him, and I think it plays to his insecurities.”

Trump attacked Brennan and Clapper in earlier remarks saying they were just “political hacks.” Brennan said Sunday that he considers Trump’s characterization “a badge of honor.” …

Under Your watch Crimea , Eastern Ukraine , The Red Line in Syria and watched as you say Russia interfered in our Elections and then let the DNC let the evidence walk out and only 3 Intelligence agencies agreed with you.

Now where did Putin not walk all over You?

“How did an enemy of our country ever get to head the C.I.A?”

In the answer to that question is the answer to many questions.

Who hasn’t seen that “open mike” incident of Obama abasing himself and his office to the Russian President, who actually seemed stunned by it, as he sat still and silent?

... telling him that he would have a free hand after the election! Sitting right there on the stage!

These are the contrasts that stun me - how the press gets all wrapped up in their own fantasies, and something like that just floats by. At least it was shown, I guess!

Brennan is practicing taqiyya, lying to infidels to advance Islam, something endorsed by his religion.

A total loser for how many years?

And has the gall, or stupidity, to speak in public about Trump’s qualifications?

No wonder the last 25 years has been such a downhill slide for us.

Brennan is outing himself as a creator and promoter of the Russian conspiracy, GPS Fusion BS, and protector of the Clintons on Uranium One

How about we let Trump worry about Putin and Clapper worry about the lint in his navel.

The CIA is a greater danger to our democracy than any Russian dictator.
