Former CIA director John Brennan was caught lashing out at a man who confronted him about the drama surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop.
Brennan was seen getting in national security consultant Thomas Speciale's face as he got visibly angry when asked about the infamous letter that was signed by 51 former intelligence officers, including himself, that claimed the emails were part of Russian misinformation.
Speciale posted the intense exchange to X on Saturday, claiming it occurred last Thursday following a conference.
The conservative was seen holding a beer as he approached Brennan about the letter, but before he could get all his words out, the Democrat got visibly angry.
'You misrepresented that,' the ex- CIA director said as he pointed his finger at Speciale's chest.
'We never said it was disinformation; we said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do. There’s a big difference,' he continued as several people watched in shock to his heated reaction.
The national security consultant then tried to push back, but before he could, Brennan walked away and said: 'I’m not going to waste my time with you.'
Brennan's response went against the exact wording in the letter that stated the former president's son's email had 'all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.'
Former CIA director John Brennan was seen losing his cool with national security consultant Thomas Speciale on Thursday after the infamous letter surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop drama was mentioned
The video quickly sparked reaction from online users as many applauded Speciale for getting under the liberal's skin.
'Great job Thomas. Boy, you had him pissed,' one wrote.
'Well done, sir. Very nicely done,' said another as someone else chimed in: 'Brennan falling apart is the...'

Doth Brennan protest too much?
He was a millimeter away from (rhetorically?) asking the Reporter:
“How would you like a Hawaiian Punch?”
what I want to know is, why isn’t this guy arrested yet?
Brennan seems on edge for some reason
Pretending the letter didn’t really say exactly what it said and was used for.
That is misdemeanor battery. Caught on video.
They knew it was Hunter’s Laptop before the election!
4 years later under oath, Chris Wray refused to tell Congress it was Hunter’s laptop in Congressional Hearings when directly asked.
RINo’s like Thomas Massie complimented Wray!
Loses his cool?
He never had cool.
The BEST thing he ever had is a face begging for a punch from anyone who sees it.
To ALL, FreeRepublic could use some extra donations for Jim’s family (OUR FAMILY).
Brennan is a thug. A worthless piece of crap who should be sleeping with the fish.
What conference is Brennan at? Brennan should be banned from any conference if the US Government has anything to do with it, especially security or intelligence related. Since he supposedly had his clearance revoked, there should be no classified there. Brennan needs to be exiled from that whole environment.
“Brennan seems on edge for reason.’’
Guilt weighs heavy on the guilty.
Kind of a “Tell Tale Heart’’ situation.
The worms have turned. They aren’t so big and bad anymore. We see right through them now.
And a FBI agent testified UNDER OATH at Hunter’s tax trial that the FBI knew the laptop was authentic in December of 2019. Brennan is just so used to lying and getting away with it...how dare someone contradict him?
Absolutely! Brennan should be in Prison.
Every time that duplicitous letter signed by “51 ex intelligence officers” comes up , it reminds me of the letter written to disparage Einstein and his relativity theories by “100 prominent German physicists”. The people who wrote and signed these letters are comparable and harmed their countries.
I would love to be in hockey scrum face-to-face with Brennan.
Arrests are easy
Convictions aren’t
