In Scathing Attack, CIA Director Brennan Warns Trump To "Watch What He Says"
Zero Hedge ^ | 1-15-2017 | Tyler Durban

The departing CIA director John Brennan has launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump, warning the President-elect does not fully understand the threat posed to the US by Russia.

As Reuters reports, Brennan's comments, during an interview on "Fox News Sunday," exposed the simmering tensions between the president-elect and the intelligence community he has criticized and is on the verge of commanding.

Brennan also questioned the message it sends to the world if the president-elect broadcasts he does not have confidence in the United States' own intelligence agencies.

It’s not just Brennan that is worried. It’s the entire establishment that is worried about being exposed.

The pseudo nobility are running scared.

Me thinks they are beginning to envision themselves becoming victim to a peasant revolt and end up in a long line waiting for their turn at the guillotine.

Absolutely. I hope Trump understands that.

Great advice. Trump also needs to hire hundreds of lookalikes.

I guess the message it sends is, “you’re fired.”

“...the threat posed to the US...”

Exactly. The greatest threat to the USA has been the current muslimb administration.

No other entity has ever caused as much a threat to the USA than the Obama regime. The Soviet Union were pikers compared to this globalist cabal.

These arrogant SOB’s have been so insulated by the press and the politics as usual and are obviously comforted in the perception they are untouchable because they once held a high office in the government. They continually have no idea how to operate in anything other than a political bubble. That bubble is about to vaporize and they will ome to the realization that to Trump, what will happen to them is not personal, just business.

Russia, the West and the mohammedans have been playing The Great Game in the Middle East and Asia for the past 500 or so years.

Nobody plans to stop playing until there is a winner.

Agreed!

Trump could announce that all FOIA requests concerning the CIA’s involvement with the JFK assassination will be honored (and unredacted)

(Great life insurance against Deja Vu)

Isn’t Brennan one of the jackasses who ridiculed Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney for pointing out that Russia remains a threat to the USA?

Never ceases to amaze me how people who should know better either miss what’s really going on or try to spin it as if they didn’t.

Trump is under no mistaken perception regarding Russia. He is simply trying to start out on the right foot, so that relations can heal and we can cooperate against terrorism.

Brennan knows this. He is a pimple on the rectum of the nation right now. He’s only slightly smaller than Obama in that respect.

I think President Trump fully understands things.
This is a contrived situation by Obama.

Brennan should watch his big ego and mouth. He’s leaving, right?

“Anything happens to Trump this man is responsible.”

The Muzzie Brenan needs to be investigated and we need to see if he elaborates on his remarks. He is a hairs breath away from a secret service visit and so is Schumer.

The logical question us what will happen if Trump doesn’t “watch what he says” and what exactly does that mean? Remember, these words aren’t exactly coming from a punk blogger in his parent’s basement. Brennan doesn’t realize that a large percentage of the America people don’t trust the CIA and attribute major political events most notably the assaination of Presdient Kennedy to rogue operatives at the CIA.

Just the fact that we have a Muzzie at the helm of the CIA proves the point.
