On Fridays broadcast of MSNBCs Rachel Maddow Show, former CIA Director John Brennan stated that he didnt mean President Trump committed treason when he referred to the presidents performance at the Helsinki summit as nothing short of treasonous.
Host Rachel Maddow said, After Helsinki, you were stark, and even a little bit scary in your criticism of his behavior. You said it rose to treason.
Brennan responded, I said it was nothing short of treasonous.

Brennan backpedaling? He's not used to a president not groveling at his feet.

Could that have been Brennan’s last TV appearance?

He voted for it before he was against it?
It was treasonous but not treason.
It was soaked but not wet.

“...in my tweets, and I did say that it rises to and exceeds the level of high crimes and misdemeanors and is nothing short of treasonous. I didnt mean that he committed treason, but it was a term that I used, nothing short of treasonous.

I said it was nothing short of treasonous.
Grammatically, that is *identical* to saying “I said it was treason.”
You either have treason or you have something short of treason.
If you have *nothing* short of treason you obviously do NOT have *something* short of treason. Therefor, you *have* treason.

Thanks cotton1706. Speaking of nothing short of treasonous, Brennan should hang.

"I know what the Russians did in interfering in the election. I have 100% confidence in what they did."Enlighten us, Mr. Brennan. What did the Russians do?
This is as useful as the oft-intoned canard 'Trump lies all the time.' BE SPECIFIC.
Facts can be checked...

How would he characterize voting for Gus Hall and the CPUSA? And that was at a time when the Radical Left hated the USSR almost as much as the USA so he cannot really use his youthful radicalism as an excuse.

Brennan should understand that he has the right to remain silent.

He is muslim plant that got Obama elected by wiping out Obama passport history while he worked a Contractor during the Bush era . Hillary was caught trying to get Obama passport history in 2007 . I recall that Hillary went after the passport and that it was wiped out before she could get to it. But how do you know it was Brennan who did it?
