we need a few perp walks of democrats to clarify their minds.
On the most recent Fox News Sunday, Brennan went way above his pay grade and beyond his job description when he lectured the president-elect on how he should conduct his job when in office. He tore into Donald Trump for his tweets about Russia and his complaints about someone or some people in the secret squirrel business dumping scurrilous and unfounded accusations about Trump into the public trough, there for eager and gullible journalists to roll and snuffle in.
Yes, the information was “available publicly,” but had been ignored (as malicious gossip should be) until given the impetus and imprimatur of what we have learned to call “the intelligence community.” This community (why is everything a community these days?) clearly includes among its able and honest practitioners a toxic number of political partisans at its highest levels.
And back to the original point about job descriptions, Brennan has been with the CIA way too long not to know that his job, and his agency’s job, is to gather information and share it with the president, not to leak it to the press. And certainly not to make stuff up for its destructive political value.
