My first visit to the Oval Office came in October 1990, when I was a 35-year-old CIA officer.

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.

Integrity from someone who converted to islam.

Just like Obama.
Brennan is determined to prove to the last person who doesnt know it, just how big a fool he is.
Not a peep out of this steaming pile of S when Obama was Madam President.
Or until you are charged and arrested. Then you’ll take the 5th. Ironic, isn’t it, you despise the Constitution!
Haaaaa! Old crooked John wouldn’t know integrity if it slapped him in the face.
He will keep speaking out - during his weekly visit time.
“A commie, a liar and a muslim walk into a bar...”
Butt face just cannot stop projecting. He basically admits here that Clinton, Bush and Obama were not representing their supporters, the people who voted for them. So butt face, just who did they represent ?
Yer gonna speak up until yer date with the cherry tree comes up...
“Integrity”, is that his Boyfriends Name??
