Just hours after John Brennan lashed out at the president-elect in an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump has responded by suggesting that the outgoing CIA Director may have been behind the publication last week of unverified and salacious intelligence connecting the president-elect to Russia....
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
.@FoxNews "Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand." Oh really, couldn't do...

much worse - just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?

This is the most direct accusation yet in the escalating feud with Obama's intelligence agencies. As we noted earlier, no president since John F. Kennedy has dared to take on the CIA or the rest of the national security establishment. They knew that if they opposed the national-security establishment at a fundamental level, they would be subjected to retaliatory measures. To the extent that President Kennedy consciously stood up to the system, he paid the price for his attempt at independent wielding of power from the Oval Office. It is a shuddering thought. A sharp lesson in history that must not be misinterpreted. The implications for Trump are quite clear. If his refusal to take intelligence briefings, or follow CIA advice is serious, then serious consequences will follow. If Trump is serious about peace with Putin when they insist on war, there will be a problem.
He may not be a practicing muslim, but he’s certainly a sympathizer.
Here’s a very thorough, fact-based look at his background.

Just leave Brennan and take your prayer rug with you.
I read in the follow up comments section, in your private link, that Obama was the first president, for his own inauguration, to have the military around him disarmed.
Now it makes sense. Obama never trusted the military side to be armed when near him.
They don’t think so. Think about it. The elected and appointed leaders come and go - the rest of the employees stay put and continue doing what they do.
Even after Kennedy fired Allen Dulles over the bay of pigs, the CIA continued doing stuff that he didn’t even sign off on. It’s been written that Kennedy had said he was going to dismantle the CIA. That’s why some people think the CIA had a hand in his assassination.
Yep. I caught that too. Thank you for bringing it up.
I believe this is unlikely. Owned by the Saudis? ... I'd believe this hypothesis (they probably own several other folks in Washington DC).
Thanks for that observation. Doubtless, it is Brennan who is behind the president and his administration calling ISIS “ISIL”, as well.
They are all dismissed effectively at 12:01 Noon, on 20 January.
That link was posted on FB by Allen West. I hesitate to say on here, what it says ... threats against the clintons... their daughter... and who it was coming from.
I was referring to the picture of the journalist whose car “blew up” on his way to the airport, Michael Hastings.
He was working on a story on Brennan when he died.
I don’t know if the CIA was behind the assassination of Kennedy, but after everything else they have done since, it is not beyond the realm of possibility.
I have read repeatedly that BOTH he and DHS head Jeh Johnson are muzzies, but search engines do NOT pull up the articles anymore.
Strange.
You might be getting him mixed up with Claptrap Clapper.
NO SIR!! John NSA BRENNAN — Total Liar!! LEAking sob!!
<< “ It’s been written that Kennedy had said he was going to dismantle the CIA.” >>
Now that’s interesting.
Also, I concur that if leaders come and go, then it stands to reason that TRUMP will have to go deeper than just cutting off the *heads* of the IC agencies.
I said as much in another thread that *appointees* oversee and lead, but as you report there are those underlings willing to do the nefarious bidding, the dirty work, for these nefarious *heads*.
These people will quietly disappear over time if rooted out and exposed.
If TRUMP folds up and shrinks these agencies, bringing the Intel “Community” to manageable numbers, there will be some very sore actors found to be jobless. Look out.
ISIS only includes Iraq and Syria whereas ISIL (Levant) includes Israel.
Obama and Brennan being muslims both want Israel wiped off the map.
Here’s an interesting article on Brennan refusing to take his oath of office on the Bible.
It was also Claptrap Clapper who said the NSA was not spying on us, and said it loud and clear before Congress, on LIVE TV. I had not heard of Brennan caught repeating the lie.
Thank God for Snowden. We still wouldn’t know the NSA was out of control and spying on EVERYTHING.
Like it or not raining the swamp starts at Langley folks.
I didn’t know that. Thanks.. Rita
Ok . they all need PRISON while awaiting trial!
