Polygraph panic: CIA director fretted his vote for communist
Cable News Network ^ | 6:27 PM ET, Thu September 15, 2016 | Tal Kopan

At his first polygraph test to enter the CIA, the future director had a secret.

John Brennan on Thursday recalled being asked a standard question for a top security clearance at his early CIA lie detector test: Have you ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the US?

“I froze,” Brennan said during a panel discussion about diversity in the intelligence community at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference. “This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate.”

Brennan was responding to a question about barriers to recruiting diverse candidates for the intelligence fields, including whether past records of activism could hurt someone applying for a clearance later in life. …

So, the head pf Obama’s CIA voted for a member of the Communist Party and then converted to Islam? No wonder our country and the world are in the mess we are in now.........

So glad this got posted.
Yes, everything is clearer now, and it makes sense why our military and intel community is being misused to support Marxists and Muslims ‘round the world in order to bring previously successful free nation states.
Obola is so much worse than I ever imagined.

Ever since Clinton the CIA has increasingly become a nest of left wing loonies, neocon former Trotskyites, and outright Communists.

Hell, the neocons were all raised as little Communists of one flavor or another and they along with their parents funded every revolutionary group that was raising Hell in the sixties and seventies.

Who else would you expect to be filling the ranks of the CIA aft er the Clinton machine cleaned out everyone who was in any way associated with Reagan or prior conservative leaders?

The idea that the CIA is a WASP right-wing cabal that’s rabidly anti-communist is so outdated.

They’re the same type of bureaucrats you find everywhere else.

...rest assured that your rights and your expressions and your freedom of speech as Americans is something that's not going to be disqualifying of you as you pursue a career in government."

We let a communist symp who later converted to a backward, violent, supremacist and anti-democratic cult that seeks the overthrow of this country into the CIA.

Obviously Brennan chooses sedition whenever possible, and hasn't got the sense God gave a gnat. Yet our system has raised just such a moron to become CIA DIRECTOR.

Just like Obama, he's not an American in any meaningful way. It's no wonder the CIA is a feckless joke.

Yep, that’s a shocker. And he still remains there? He’s the first guy who needs to be fired with Trump there.

Makes sense, Brennan acts like a Communist, and took a lot of ideas from the Stasi.

I look forward to a real American running the agency someday.

One thing is clear: President Trump should fire every government employee down to janitor on 1/20/2017.

So the POS John Brennan never should have been allowed into the CIA in the first place!!!!

We are ruled by scumbags, jackals, all-round garbage like Obola, why should this be a surprise?

It'd even be worth it to redefine their jobs to watching TV, and then replace them in the real jobs, if that's what it took.

I thought of that first in regard to the judges. Use Congress's power to regulate the judiciary to place the existing judges in a new federal court system presiding over, say, jaywalking on federal highways. Then reappoint new judges to the real courts. It does an end run around the lifetime appointment.

That's not the half of it. If people knew or ever find out how bad the DC bubble really is there will be Congress Critters and Federal employees hanging from lamp posts.

The only hope is Trump and his finding enough people to stand up to the machine to take it apart and put it back together the way it should be.

IMHo, the odds of that happening are about 50/50 because that's a lot of oxen to gore and it's tough to find people who can't be swayed.
