Does John Brennan Know Too Much for Obama to Fire Him?
The Atlantic ^ | 8-1-2014 | CONOR FRIEDERSDORF

President Obama could surprise the country by axing his former counterterrorism adviser, explaining that under Brennan's management, employees broke laws and undermined the separation of powers core to our democracy. Obama may well make a good-faith effort to act in the national interest. But it's impossible to believe that he won't be aware of the following: No U.S. official knows more than Brennan about Obama's many drone killings. Some of the killings were solidly grounded in international law. And others may have violated the Fifth Amendment, international law, or the laws of war.

Obama does not torture. He uses precise extra-judicial FISA court enhanced remote control bad actor targeting and termination techniques. Bush is the one who tortured. /s

Brennan is Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama will fight very hard to retain him in that position.

If I were elected president, my first act would be to have John Brennen removed from his office within 1 minute of my being sworn in. I’m talking about security walking in and escorting him from the premises.

I suspect he’s actually a Jesuit who wants others to believe he’s Islamic. The man graduated from Fordham. I’m betting he came under the spell of the Dulles family, not Mohammed.

If it were desired for Brennan to go and if Brennan “knows too much” then Brennan would have a heart attack or an accident.

Brennan was an executive primary at the DC security from that pulled.Obama’s passport info prior to his first immaculation.

That contractor was later shot through the skull while sitting in his car in front of his church.

Brennan was later appointed by Obama as DCI.

John Brennan is a Muslim and a very radical one at that. The last thing Obama would do would be fire him.

When John Brennan assured the country that the CIA hadn't improperly monitored the Senate, he fed us false information.

You want a piece of me? You sure?

You fire appointees who screw up or don't perform, but you keep co - conspirators close or pull them in even closer when the investigations start.

The Obama Administration consistently treats scandal ridden member like co conspirators

To Obama loyalty trumps competence, corruption, lawlessness, and all levels of malfeasance....

Brennan isn’t going anywhere....

This right here! Came here to note the same idea - Brennan knows "too much" about the purging of Obama's passport files and god only knows what other black-bag jobs that were done to erase Obama's past.

John Brennan was working out of the WH, buying back the arms we gave to Libyan rebels, to give to the Syrian rebels. So, yes, he knows way too much.
