Adding another chapter to the intense conflict between Donald Trump and the intelligence community, CIA Director John Brennan on Sunday sharply criticized the incoming president for equating spy agencies to Nazi Germany and suggested that he needed to focus more seriously on the security issues facing the nation.

“What I think Mr. Trump has to understand is that this is more than being about him, and it's about the United States and our national security,” Brennan said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday."

“And he has to make sure that now he's going to have the opportunity to do something for national security, as opposed to talking and tweeting; he's going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that U.S. national security interests are protected and are advanced.”

That was particularly the case when it comes to Russia, Brennan said.

We have a muslim government employee giving a sassing to our President-elect?

Too late for you, Brennan, go kneel on your prayer rug, point your a$$ toward heaven, point your head toward hell, and pray to Satan.

The “intelligence community” were warned about the Boston bombers, allowed the San Bernadino terrorists entry, couldn’t identify the Ft. Hood threat, didn’t believe the Ft. Lauderdale terrorist, and has become more political under the Kenyan.

I think Trump is just looking for some improvement.

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