Will the former CIA director be hoist by his own petard?
American Spectator ^ | February 17, 2017 | By George Neumayr

Posted on 02/17/2017 5:15:03 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Out of hatred for McGovernite liberals, a Republican president in the 1970s broke the law. Now those aging radicals break the law out of hatred for a Republican president.

Nested within intelligence agencies, they have fed a series of criminal leaks to a press corps that functions like an anti-Trump dirty tricks operation.

Donald Trump has publicly speculated that former CIA director John Brennan is one of the criminal leakers. In January, he tweeted out, “Was this the leaker of Fake News?” Trump has now charged the Justice Department with investigating “low-life leakers” in the government.

Former CIA analyst Tony Shaffer also suspects Brennan as one of the leakers. He said on Fox Business Network that the leaks which forced Michael Flynn out can be laid “squarely at the feet of” Brennan, among other embittered Obama aides.

What we know is that intelligence agencies taped Flynn’s call with the Russian ambassador, and we know that the contents of the call were leaked to the Washington Post’s David Ignatius, who is a de facto stenographer for political liberals at the CIA. We also know that Brennan has made no secret of his opposition to Trump and Flynn. By opposing Brennan’s overtures to the Muslim Brotherhood and his refusal to grapple with the spread of Islamic terrorism, Flynn became enemy number one in the eyes of Obama holdovers at the CIA. . .

You can be a Muslim Director of CIA who once voted for a communist and personally approved all the visas for the Saudi 9-11 bombers:

No problem..!

Call the Russians and talk in general terms to get spun up for your new job..?

UNFORGIVABLE.

Bring back Flynn. He does not need Senate confirmation. Only Flynn can bring the perspective that he does on how the rise of ISIS was abetted by the past administration.

Out of hatred for McGovernite liberals, a Republican president in the 1970s broke the law.

The basic point of the article is right, but this sentence is historically inaccurate as to the motive for Watergate, FWIW.

Fake news.

Just because the evilstream misleadia were able to sell that lie doesn’t make it true.

he needs to be put under a lie detector and if found deceptive he needs to be water boarded....I believe he has been a foreign agent since before (9-11)

Nixon was furious over the leaking of top secret information to the NY Times by a leftwing traitor working in the CIA as an analyst The information leaked concerned LBJ, more so than Nixon. That was the genesis of what later would be known as Watergate

There’s some kind of rule that says that headlines which end in a question mark, the answer is always no. But the old rules don’t seem to apply so much with Trump in the WH.
