Ex-CIA Director John Brennan explodes as he’s confronted about Hunter Biden’s laptop
NY Post ^ | 11/02/25 | Ryan King

Posted on 11/02/2025 12:51:31 PM PST by Libloather

Former CIA Director John Brennan snapped at a man who confronted him for signing the infamous letter in 2020 that claimed the bombshell Hunter Biden email scandal exposed by The Post had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Brennan, 70, grew visibly incensed and angrily got in the face of the man who pressed about the letter, poking him on the chest repeatedly before backing off.

“You misrepresented that,” Brennan shouted at conservative national security consultant Thomas Speciale during the tense clash.

“We never said it was disinformation; we said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do. There’s a big difference,” he added.

After Speciale pushed back, the ex-CIA boss waved his hand in frustration and vented, “I’m not going to waste my time with you.”

Speciale, who claimed the confrontation took place last Thursday, posted video of the fiery moment Saturday alongside text of the infamous “spies who lie” letter that Brennan signed.

Shortly after The Post’s bombshell October 2020 exposé of emails on Hunter’s “laptop from hell” — which illustrated how he leveraged his father’s vice presidency in his dealings with Ukrainian businessmen — 51 current and former intelligence officials signed a letter pushing back.

The 51 individuals, who clearly had no direct knowledge of the situation, leveraged their intelligence credentials to make the public skeptical of The Post’s reporting, weeks before the 2020 election.

Politico amplified the story with the headline, “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”

Thomas Speciale missed an opportunity to do a TKO on Brennan. I would have jumped at the opportunity.

Brennan is a small bit of sh*t on the butt of the world...

Schiff-face was saying the laptop emails were “from the Kremlin”.
Brennan and fifty others affirmed that McCarthyesque (from democrats, no less) explanation, implying that the emails or even the laptop did not exist—that they were Ivan Rathered—when they must have known (this was before president Trump pulled their security clearances) that the laptop existed.
“ (the New York Post publication of laptop emails from & to Hunter, showing corruption by the Bidens) “ ... has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”.

Conclusion, at best they were being disingenuous, but any intelligent inquiry: they were lying to assist Joe, Obama and the democrats two weeks before the election.

John Brennan is philosophically a Marxist and definitely a Muslim sympathizer. His original appointment was by Barack Obama. Obama is no fool, he knew precisely what he was appointing. He appointed a man that shared his philosophical beliefs.

It’s pretty funny.

He stalks off like Dr. Loveless on The Wild Wild West.

Making physical contact should and would be his last and worst mistake.

No, he is NOT a muslim sympathizer.

He ALLEGEDLY converted to islam BETWEEN 1996-1999. FROM AI:

“Allegations that John Brennan converted to Islam emerged in February 2013, when former FBI agent John Guandolo claimed Brennan had converted between 1996 and 1999 while serving as the CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Guandolo asserted that Brennan converted during his tenure in Saudi Arabia, citing his access to U.S. government officials who allegedly witnessed the conversion and his visit to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina during the Hajj season, which are restricted to Muslims. Guandolo also stated that Brennan publicly recited the Islamic statement of faith (shahada) in the presence of Saudi officials.
However, these claims remain unverified and have not been corroborated by any official sources or independent investigations.”

“Allegation That Brennan Converted to Islam

Brennan has publicly praised “the goodness and beauty of Islam,” which he characterizes as “a faith of peace and tolerance.” “The tremendous warmth of Islamic cultures and societies,” he said in 2010, typically makes visitors from non-Muslim lands feel very “welcomed.”

The confronter was too meek and allowed Brennan to get away with the lie that they never really said the laptop was Russian disinformation.

At least someone confronted Brennan. Now let’s do it in court.

That’s what I’m imagining!
It would be a delightful end to his career.
And, a mint afterwards.

I am sure the people that were killed, watched their loved ones raped and tortured or taken by Muslims as sex slaves or randomly slaughter like the people in Nigeria are enthralled with the beauty of Islam. The folks that jumped out of the World Trade Center were jumping for joy!

This wasn’t an interview, but the legacy media should draw a lesson from the interviews in the last couple weeks of Kamala, Porter, and Karene: should you become interested in doing your job of holding power to account, it can actually be fun to expose frauds. And the bonus is you get a lot more attention ($$$$!!!) that if you just administer the traditional media tongue bath of democrats

He’s scared. He knows that he no longer has the protection that he once enjoyed. He’s vulnerable and the rich Dems are pulling back on their legal funds.
