My first visit to the Oval Office came in October 1990, when I was a 35-year-old CIA officer.
[snip]
Over the next quarter-century, I returned to the Oval Office several hundred times during the administrations of Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The jitters that accompanied my first Oval Office visit dissipated over time, but the respect, awe and admiration I held for the office of the presidency and the incumbents never waned. The presidents I directly served were not perfect, and I didnt agree with all of their policy choices. But I never doubted that each treated their solemn responsibility to lead our nation with anything less than the seriousness, intellectual rigor and principles that it deserved. Many times, I heard them dismiss the political concerns of their advisers, saying, I dont care about my politics, its the right thing to do.
The esteem with which I held the presidency was dealt a serious blow when Donald Trump took office. Almost immediately, I began to see a startling aberration from the remarkable, though human, presidents I had served. Mr. Trumps lifelong preoccupation with aggrandizing himself seemed to intensify in office, and he quickly leveraged his 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. address and his Twitter handle to burnish his brand and misrepresent reality.
Presidents throughout the years have differed in their approaches to policy, based on political platforms, ideologies and individual beliefs. Mr. Trump, however, has shown highly abnormal behavior by lying routinely to the American people without compunction, intentionally fueling divisions in our country and actively working to degrade the imperfect but critical institutions that serve us.

This Muslim hack should be in jail.
Traitorous toad.
Brennan, Comey, Clapper and others are acting as if they will not be held to account for their clearly criminal behavior.
I suspect they are right, because any indictments must extend up the ladder to Hussein.
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR PLEASE!!!
We wil be so much safer as a country when this venal serpent slithers imto oblivion
Brennan a Bureaucratic spook, thinks he knows more than POTUS...this POTUS understands why Washington is broken...and is trying to fix it...that is driving Spook Brennan, part of the Deep State, Nuts.
Brennan belongs in prison and if we had an AG he would be.
Why is this creep, who illegally spied on the US Senate to protect his own ass, lecturing us on morality. He should be working in the laundry room in a federal prison.
Jihadi John has wanted tor transform America ever since he attended university in Cairo.
GHW Bush never said “Read my Lips, No new taxes”. Bill Clinton never inhaled, lied or diddled interns in the Ovule Office, and wasn’t convicted of perjury while President. He didn’t destroy aspirin factories to distract from his political woes, or sell nights the Lincoln Bedroom for campaign cash. W didn’t lie up a storm as an excuse to start a geopolitical war aimed at neo-con fantasies of democracy in the Middle East, leading to countless unnecessary deaths, ISIS, the Syrian debacle, and ongoing turmoil. Obama didn’t lie, even about his own life story and the authorship of his books, ObamaCare, etc., and he didn’t use the IRS, DHS, CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. as weapons against domestic political foes.
Nope, none of that happened. Everyone had such integrity until Trump came along. Squeal like a little piglet, John Brennan. The Prison Bell tolls for you.
He’ll be hard-pressed to speak with chewing the bark off all the tube steaks of Big Mike & Co. in supermax, but maybe they’ll grant him some journaling time if he always sw******.
Exactly!!!! Brennan is full of it.
FUJB, vicious vizier of the Obama caliphate (2008-2015) in North America.
ESAD you POS punk.
Regards,
IKR!
Brennan has no integrity or morals. Therefore he can’t speak about something he doesn’t have.
