Former CIA chief John Brennan slams Devin Nunes for ‘reckless’ handling of memo
The Washington Times ^ | February 4, 2018 | Tom Howell Jr.

Former C.I.A. Director John Brennan on Sunday chastised the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee on Sunday for his handling of a bombshell memo that delved into the secretive world of surveillance courts, saying the push to expose bias at the FBI was one-sided and shut out opposing views.

Mr. Brennan, who served under President Obama, said Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican, could have held hearings to expose potential problems at the FBI, but instead put out “very selective, cherry-picked” memo without allowing Democrats to offer a rebuttal memo.

“I never, ever saw the Democrats do something like this that was so partisan, so reckless and really just laid waste to the protocols that governed committees,” Mr. Brennan told NBC’s Meet the Press. “And Devin Nunes, over the past several months, all the way back to the spring of last year I think has been engaged in these tactics purely to defend, make excuses and try to protect Mr. Trump.”

Methinks Brennan is culpable.

The more he screams the closer we get to the truth.

Like who got all of the information collected from the FISA warrants?

translation.
Ignore what corruption is going on and has gone on in the DOJ, FBI, and State, and lets get mad at who exposed the corruption.
The media are doing all they can to do this, and divert the stupid, ignorant masses.

I can never remember, is Brennan the Communist Muslim who perjured himself before Congress, or was that someone else?

Brennan needs his own special investigation, to explain why he lied under oath, period!

Brennan is more worried about the protocols that govern committees than he is about laws and protocols that protect Americans from the abuse of power by the FBI and other intelligence agencies.

Forgot to mention Brennan is a muslim convert.

Yet another indicator that he's Deep State.

The delightful United Arab Emirates doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US. I expect at some point Brennen and maybe even Obama will find it in their best interest to emigrate there or some other Islamist paradise.

"Mr. Brennan, who served under President Obama, said Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican, could have held hearings..."

Remind me, wasn't Brennan the guy who told a Senate hearing that, "As far as the allegations of, you know, CIA hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, we wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s — that’s just beyond the — you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do. {…} And, you know, when the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong."
