John Brennan Fires Warning Shot to Ryan and McConnell After Trump Orders DOJ Investigation
TGP ^ | May 20, 2018

Posted on 05/20/2018 6:20:09 PM PDT by Helicondelta

As previously reported by TGP’s Kristinn Taylor, President Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon he is ordering the Justice Department to investigate whether the Obama administration spied on his 2016 presidential campaign.

The order comes on the heels of leaks to the New York Times and Washington Post that the Obama administration had an “informant” make several approaches to three Trump campaign officials, included one that involved an offer of cash and another an offer to “advise” the campaign.

Trump tweeted: “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!” the president tweeted.

John Brennan warned Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after Trump ordered the DOJ to review the FBI’s infiltration of his campaign.

Brennan tweeted: Senator McConnell & Speaker Ryan: If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. You do a great disservice to our Nation & the Republican Party if you continue to enable Mr. Trump’s self-serving actions.

John Brennan is in hot water which is why he continues to lash out at President Trump from his Twitter account.

Brennan is caught in a perjury trap over his statements about Hillary’s phony dossier in a May 2017 testimony to the intel panel.

Obama’s former CIA chief was also involved in setting up Russian espionage traps for minor players in Trump’s camp, according the investigative reporter, Paul Sperry.

On Sunday evening, the DOJ asked Inspector General to probe any alleged “impropriety or political motivation” into the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

EXCERPT:

In an article for World Net Daily, Joseph Farah recounts Brennan’s history of dubious or even outright anti-American proclivities:

Brennan was not sworn into office on a Bible, as the tradition goes in America, but on an original draft of the Constitution WITHOUT the Bill of Rights. Clearly, this was a purposeful signal that Brennan has no regard for the limits on the powers of the state enshrined in these amendments.

(...)

Brennan’s 1980 graduate thesis at the University of Texas at Austin denied the existence of “absolute human rights”, arguing in favor of censorship by Egypt’s dictatorship. He wrote, “Since the press can play such an influential role in determining the perceptions of the masses, I am in favor of some degree of government censorship. Inflammatory articles can provoke mass opposition and possible violence, especially in developing political systems.”

Brennan hewed to his thesis when he possessed extraordinary power, as shown in a November 2012 Wikileaks email dump, which pointed to Brennan as the official behind a “witch hunt” conducted on journalists who reported unflattering Obama administration leaks.

Consistent with Brennan’s sympathies for Islamic terror nations, he warned President-Elect Donald Trump that scrapping the outrageous Obama-Iran nuclear deal would be “the height of folly” and “disastrous.”

Brennan has long been cozy with the Muslim Brotherhood. Despite evidence presented (and later upheld) during the landmark 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial in federal court, which established the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) as a Muslim Brotherhood organization, and financial supporter of the terrorist organization Hamas, Brennan has continued to meet with ISNA officials and participate in ISNA events.

Brennan delivered the keynote address to ISNA’s annual conference in 2009.

Seems like Ryan can’t resign fast enough. Fate an injury Paul! It’s an escape route AND sympathy ploy. Two birds, one stone.

I want to see the Muslim POS, Brennan, in prison!

Clapper, Comey, McCabe, ValJar, Lynch and many others should also enjoy the gray bar hotel!

Brennan knows that they have him in their sights. The only defense he has left is to put up an offense. That tactic will only buy him more trouble.

Brennan reminds me of Lord Voldemort:

John Brennan is really pathetic. Obama and his Marxist thugs sure can pick them, huh! These idiots, somehow, still think they’re going to get away with it.

This has already gone to Obama and Bush. That’s exactly what Brennan is telling Ryan and McConnell and that they need to stop Trump. Apparently, Brennan is attempting to signal that this was a bipartisan attack. Misery loves company.

Brennan, the Muslim-Communist traitor, is in BIG trouble, and he knows it.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

His actions go beyond civil criminal, but are treasonous. He DID violate 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason.

He worked with enemy governments (Iran, just for starters), and tried to overthrow an elected President of the United States.

Treason is a death penalty offense.

The only death penalty offenses today are for murder, espionage, treason, and large-scale drug trafficking.

Brennan, Obama, Hillary committed ALL of the above offenses.

Think about that.

The rest of their gang are guilty of many, many crimes.

Does he think ryan and mcconnell have control over President Trump? Haven’t they learned Trump listens but does not obey?

I suspect there is enough dirt on any congressperson who has been there awhile, to use... or make it up as he goes... brennan knows how to do that. Brennan is one bad character, to have had that much power at one time... he thinks he still does.. He’s so desperate he doesn’t stop and think what tweeting like that, tells everyone what he is and who he is.

I just go back to “what if hillary had won”.. we’d be so deep in the mud .... and not know what hit us....
Newt said the left/media went into shock/heart arrest between 9 pm and 11 pm election night. They still can’t believe what we did that day. Reporters could get out in the countryside and find out the pulse between NY and CA.. they might have figured it out.. they think where they live, it’s all like that... mistake..

Brennan needs to be taken into custody and given a complete anal exam. Waterboarding, if necessary. The gloves need to come off in dealing with traitors like him, Clapper, Comey and the rest of Obama’s cabal. That includes Obama, too.

Enough is enough!

Practically his entire Twitter timeline is him making threats to Republicans.

His behavior seems to be in conflict with his Twitter Bio.

“Former CIA Director (2013-17). Nonpartisan American who is very concerned about our collective future.”

WHY is John so concerned that the IG will investigate if a mole was placed in the Trump campaign? If nothing is there, it clears John. If a mole was there, were there others in earlier campaigns like Romney’s? Is that what you don’t want to be known, John?
