John Brennan, Melting Down and Covering Up

He accuses Trump of treason. But what's his bluster really about?

It isn’t a pretty face, but one scarred from a dark past, repackaged now by the frenzy of “resistance.” Accusing Donald Trump recklessly, implying he knows more than he lets on, promising redemption: John Brennan is the face of American politics in 2018.

But before all that, Brennan lived in a hole about as far down into the deep state as one can dwell while still having eyes that work in the sunlight. He was director of the Central Intelligence Agency. He was Obama’s counterterrorism advisor, helping the president decide who to kill every week, including American citizens. He spent 25 years at the CIA, and helped shape the violent policies of the post-9/11 Bush era. He was a fan of torture and extrajudicial killing to the point that a 2012 profile of him was entitled, “The Seven Deadly Sins of John Brennan.” Another writer called Brennan “the most lethal bureaucrat of all time, or at least since Henry Kissinger.” Today, however, a New York Times puff piece sweeps all that away as a “troubling inheritance.”

On Twitter this week, Brennan cartoonishly declaimed, “Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin.”

He is a long time communist and a recent convert to islam...

That is all you really need to know to explain his acrions.

According to bill clintons defenders, perjury and obstruction of justice didnt rise to the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. Yet according to trumps critics, trumps “imbecilic” comments at his press conference “rises to and exceeds” high crimes and misdemeanors, not to mention treasonous.

Next step? Hell.

[AndyJackson]

As near as I can tell of famous people Brennan has a poorer understanding of American politics and what drives the American people than did Douglas MacArthur, who was at least a great general.

[Texas Fossil]

Brennan is one of the snakiest people to ever serve in public office in the U.S. Right up there with ValJar, the Persian Serpent.

Eminently punchable face

[Grampa Dave]

What are you looking at, you Deplorable!

[Ouchthatonehurt]

“...implying he knows more than he lets on”
BINGO

[Sacajaweau]

As it stands, the American People have seen absolutely “0” evidence of Meddling. That Facebook was meddling...is ridiculous.

[lee martell]

If John Brennan drinks, I’ll bet he’s one of those Mean Drunks. One sip, and the iron cage door to his soul swings open with a loud staccato creak, letting all the bats out of the belfry.

[Cobra64]

Some folks need to disappear.

[ssaftler]

Add a black hood and a little facial scarring to the first picture and you’d have a good approximation of Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious.

“But what’s his bluster really about? “

Same with all the liberals: accusing your enemy of your own crimes.

[publius911]

There's that manic, insane look again...
Where have we seen that before?

[publius911]

what are “acrions?”

[Liz]

Good one.

I can’t imagine what horrible things these people would have done if the hildabeast was in charge.

Was Trump’s Campaign ‘Set Up’? The Wall Street Journal | 17 May 2018 | by Kimberley A. Strassel FR Posted on 5/17/2018, 9:18:14 PM by Meet the New Boss House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appearing on “Fox & Friends” provided a potentially explosive hint at what’s driving his demand to see documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Trump-Russia probe. “If the campaign was somehow set up,” he told the hosts, “I think that would be a problem.” --snip-- Think of the 2016 Trump-Russia narrative as two parallel strands—one politics, one law enforcement. The political side involves the actions of Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign and Obama officials—all of whom were focused on destroying Donald Trump. The law-enforcement strand involves the FBI—and what methods and evidence it used in its Trump investigation. At some point these strands intersected—and one crucial question is how early that happened. What may well have kicked off both, however, is a key if overlooked moment detailed in the House Intelligence Committee’s recent Russia report. In “late spring” of 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey briefed White House “National Security Council Principals” that the FBI had counterintelligence concerns about the Trump campaign. Carter Page was announced as a campaign adviser on March 21, and Paul Manafort joined the campaign March 29. --snip-- It’s long been known that Mr. Steele went to the FBI in early July to talk about the dossier, and that’s the first known intersection of the strands. But given the oddity and timing of those U.K. interactions concerning Messrs. Page and Papadopoulos, and given the history of some of the people involved in arranging them, some wonder if the two strands were converging earlier than anyone has admitted.
