Ex-CIA chief tears into Trump for one-on-one meeting with Putin: What is he hiding?
The Hill ^ | July 16, 2018 | Avery Anapol

Former CIA Director John Brennan on Monday slammed President Trump for meeting alone with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Brennan, a frequent Trump critic, questioned what the president was “hiding” from his own advisers by insisting on meeting one-on-one with Putin at their summit in Helsinki, Finland.

“Why did Trump meet 1 on 1 with Putin? What might he be hiding from Bolton, Pompeo, Kelly, & the American public?” Brennan tweeted. “How will Putin use whatever Trump could be hiding to advantage Russia & hurt America? Trump’s total lack of credibility renders spurious whatever explanation he gives.”

Trump and Putin met one-on-one in Helsinki before moving into an expanded bilateral meeting with advisers. In their first meeting, only translators were present. Trump reportedly did not want to have a note-taker in the room because of a concern that details would leak.

Trump and Putin sat down with photographers and reporters before heading into the meeting. Trump said he thinks the U.S. and Russia would “end up having an extraordinary relationship.” He said before the start of the expanded meeting that the summit was off to a “very, very good start.”

Hours before the start of the meeting, Trump sent a tweet blaming “years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity," as well as the federal investigation into Russian election meddling, for poor U.S.-Russia relations.

Trump said that he would raise the issue of Russian meddling with Putin, but suggested that he did not think anything would come of it.

He’s hiding the fact that he is getting the scoop on you John treasonous Brennan, and the Democrat Party’s involvement with Russia. Be scared John, very scared. Oh that’s right, you are scared that’s what prompt’s all of the nonsense from you.

From my point of view, President Trump was ‘trying’ to eliminate leakers about the conversation. As long as there were only two participants in the room if anything gets out you know exactly who ‘leaked’.

Brennan needs to be water boarded to find out where all of the Obozo’s and Clintons criminal skeletons are hiding. Aside from that, Brennan is irrelevant.

Brennan’s blubbering is quite irrelevant to Russia/USA relations.

Unfortunately Brennan has nothing to worry about.

Not as long as Sessions and Rosenstein are in charge.

Trump could come home with 10-20 dossiers against Brennan. Courtesy of Putin.

So what? No one would expect our Justice Department would do a damn thing about it.

What’s he hiding? Probably sensitive details about golf and grandchildren.

Brennan is crazier than Pelosi. Maybe the young Marxist snowflakes are right in trying to hijack the “democrat” party. They’ve got a bunch of old honky lunatics running that freak show. Lunatics who preach socialism to make themselves richer. #WalkAway.

Because Trump told the Russians he would be more flexible after the Election?

Oh wait...

"John Brennan is morally lower than a snake’s belly."

Amen to that, worth repeating!
