Was CIA Director Brennan’s 1976 Vote for a Communist Just a Youthful Indiscretion?

The New American
26 September 2016

CIA Director Brennan voted for communist Gus Hall 1976; though probably not a communist, he believes that the Constitution is irrelevant to the advancement of the state. by Bob Adelmann

The CIA spied on the U.S. senate and the IRS illegally harassed conservative American taxpayers. Neither agency head was removed from their position. Just sayin...

Rand Paul loser, late to the party.

All talk, no action.

These Rinos did nothing the last 8 years.
They suffer addiction to your money.
The addicts are freaking out.

So is he appointed for life? Only way to get rid of him is impeachment?

“It is illegal for the CIA to spy on Americans and an affront to our republic to spy on the Senate,”...

If Paul seriously thinks this, and much worse, hasn’t been going for for the past 40-50yrs, he’s delusional.

Jihad Brennan released the salacious materials
to attempt to destroy an incoming President Elect
for Islamic jihad which the CIA
now serves in lockstep under him.

More proof that the national socialist democrat party of america is following the German lead of the 1930s.

Get control of the media. Then the healthcare industry, then the manufacturing sector. Then the intell. Then undermine the military.
At the same time use the media to make false accusations against the opposition. Paint a target through an ethnic group.

The only step they needed was to take away the right to keep and bear arms by the citizens.

THATS HOW CLOSE THEY CAME.

Do both. Fire Brennan immediately after being sworn in.Then abolish the CIA. Create a new intelligence agency. Staff and man it with Patriots who love America.Do not utilize any former CIA Agents or affiliates.

Ditch the CIA. They have nearly zero human intelligence and rely on technology. The Air Force runs most of the intelligence. The NSA/NRO/DIA provides the vast majority of intelligence in this country.

Okay. So we have documented evidence that both Brennan and Clapper have LIED to the Congress in open hearings to protect Obama's agenda.

And the media is besmirching Donald Trump for questioning whether the agencies these two partisan bozos head, CIA and National Intelligence, can be trusted?

Trump is right to question the veracity of anything that comes out of these agencies. Time to knock some heads and drain the swamp.

Slippery, slimy creatures abound in the swamp.

I voted Reagan in 80, this commie MF was voting Gus Hall in 76 and THROUGH SUBVERSION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS IN FERDGOV is named CIA Director.

Small wonder he is waging an ILLEGAL war against the first right wing POTUS.

Brennan needs to be in prison in Guantanamo.

I wonder who was the last President to openly discuss the elimination of the CIA.

Let me think for a minute.

Oh, by the way, can you see the eternal flame on Kennedy’s grave from Langley?

Why do we need so many intelligence agencies?

Central Intelligence Agency.
Defense Intelligence Agency.
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
National Reconnaissance Office.
National Security Agency.
National Intelligence Agency

All they’re good for is turp wars.
Keep ONE and eliminate the rest.

Isn’t Brennan most likely the little bitch who keeps leaking all of Trumps meetings?

How about firing The Muslim CIA director first.

President Truman did not trust the OSS and its increasing power.

At the end of WWII, he signed an ExO ending the OSS.

September 20, 1945, President Truman signed Executive Order 9621, terminating the OSS. His Order became effective October 1, 1945. In the days following, the functions of the OSS were split between the Department of State and the Department of War.

The State Department received the Research and Analysis Branch of OSS (originally created by Edward Mead Earle[28]) which was renamed the Interim Research and Intelligence Service or IRIS,[29] headed by U.S. Army Colonel Alfred McCormack. Later it was renamed the Bureau of Intelligence and Research by the State
Department.

Is it past time for President Trump in 2017 to end the CIA with an ExO!?

Or maybe fire anyone, who fails a new lie detector test proving that they were and are a threat to America. Like anyone who has spied on Americans or tried to overthrow a foreign leader without permission from Congress.

End CIA?

I’d say ‘start over from scratch’

I have no recollection of this controversy. I do recall Rand Paul and Ted Cruz filibusters, but don’t remember Brennan being a key reason. So many rotten schemes were in play during the Obama years, (Bergdahl, that army doc. who waged bloody jihad and killed over 20 enlisted, Fast and Furious, the Lois Lerner outrages, etc.) this must have been overlooked.

Can Brennan and everyone else hired by Obama.

JFK promised to smash the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the wind.
