On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” former CIA Director John Brennan stated that he didn’t mean President Trump committed treason when he referred to the president’s performance at the Helsinki summit as “nothing short of treasonous.”

Host Rachel Maddow said, “After Helsinki, you were stark, and even a little bit scary in your criticism of his behavior. You said it rose to treason.”

Brennan responded, “I said it was nothing short of treasonous.”

Brennan backpedaling? He's not used to a president not groveling at his feet.

[butlerweave]

Oh no another Wishy Washy lefty ,LOL

[Eddie01]

Could that have been Brennan’s last TV appearance?

No clearance, no use.

[TheZMan]

He voted for it before he was against it?

It was treasonous but not treason.

It was soaked but not wet.

“...in my tweets, and I did say that it rises to and exceeds the level of high crimes and misdemeanors and is nothing short of treasonous. I didn’t mean that he committed treason, but it was a term that I used, nothing short of treasonous.”

George Orwell was one of the greatest geniuses of the 20th century.

“I said it was nothing short of treasonous.”

Grammatically, that is *identical* to saying “I said it was treason.”

You either have treason or you have something short of treason.

If you have *nothing* short of treason you obviously do NOT have *something* short of treason. Therefor, you *have* treason.

exactly

Thanks cotton1706. Speaking of nothing short of treasonous, Brennan should hang.

I am sick and tired of these sorry sacks of crap.

"I know what the Russians did in interfering in the election. I have 100% confidence in what they did."

Enlighten us, Mr. Brennan. What did the Russians do?

This is as useful as the oft-intoned canard 'Trump lies all the time.' BE SPECIFIC.

Facts can be checked...

Brennan committed treason .
He is muslim plant that got Obama elected by wiping out Obama
passport history while he worked a Contractor during
the Bush era .
Hillary was caught trying to get Obama passport history in 2007 .

How would he characterize voting for Gus Hall and the CPUSA? And that was at a time when the Radical Left hated the USSR almost as much as the USA so he cannot really use his youthful radicalism as an excuse.

Brennan should understand that he has the right to remain silent.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Well done.

Pay the treasonous SOB a visit

Off yourself, Brennan. You Muzzie Commie LOSER

[pepsi_junkie]

He is muslim plant that got Obama elected by wiping out Obama passport history while he worked a Contractor during the Bush era . Hillary was caught trying to get Obama passport history in 2007 .

I recall that Hillary went after the passport and that it was wiped out before she could get to it. But how do you know it was Brennan who did it?

[bgill]

But called him every other name and crime in the book.

You said what you said. You said what you said. And, you said what you said. So, there!
