Trump Responds To CIA Chief Brennan, Asks "Was He The Leaker Of Fake News?"
Zero Hedge ^ | 2017-01-15 | Tyler Durden

Just hours after John Brennan lashed out at the president-elect in an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump has responded by suggesting that the outgoing CIA Director may have been behind the publication last week of unverified and salacious intelligence connecting the president-elect to Russia....

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

.@FoxNews "Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand." Oh really, couldn't do...

much worse - just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?

This is the most direct accusation yet in the escalating feud with Obama's intelligence agencies. As we noted earlier, no president since John F. Kennedy has dared to take on the CIA or the rest of the national security establishment. They knew that if they opposed the national-security establishment at a fundamental level, they would be subjected to retaliatory measures. To the extent that President Kennedy consciously stood up to the system, he paid the price for his attempt at independent wielding of power from the Oval Office. It is a shuddering thought. A sharp lesson in history that must not be misinterpreted. The implications for Trump are quite clear. If his refusal to take intelligence briefings, or follow CIA advice is serious, then serious consequences will follow. If Trump is serious about peace with Putin when they insist on war, there will be a problem.

That tells anyone paying attention where his allegiance lies.

Did Brennan’s handlers teach him the principles of- and commitment to- Taqqiya?

Chris is a liberal hack obviously. We’re just lucky that occasionally he hacks our opponents, as well, on his show.

I thought he was awful this morning with Pence, and a powder puff with Brennan.

Honestly? I thought Brennan was scary, in his demeanor and cold as ice in his face and eyes.

Even more interesting, the head of the CIA that he fired, Allen Dulles, was part of the commission to investigate the assassination. Pretty interesting that a person who would normally be a suspect, would be allowed on the investigation.

Kennedy also fired the Chair of the Joint Chiefs over Operation North Woods - a plan to perform a false flag attack and kill American people and blame it on Cuba, so that there would be an excuse to invade and oust Castro.

He had told J Edgar Hoover that he would have to comply with the mandatory retirement, but LBJ let him stay as long as he wanted.

I used to be pretty naïve I guess. Totally shocked to find out about Operation North Woods, and the CIA mind control experiments and other disgusting stuff they did.

When Kennedy was assassinated, my Grandmother immediately said LBJ ordered it. I thought that highly unlikely. However, according to some unclassified documents, the KGB thought so too. I read that Jackie hired French Intelligence agents to investigate and they said the same.

I thought at the time, It was likely Castro hiring mob assassins, and Bobby signed off on it, and it was sealed for decades to avoid nuclear war.

Lee Harvey Oswald, I always thought was a patsy, and likely a low level CIA double agent who was not very successful, and therefore expendable.

In later life, LBJ told several people that it was Castro that was behind it.

I don’t think the Secret Service was involved though.

E. Howard Hunt, of the CIA stated on taped video that it was traced to LBJ. He also put it in writing, and asked his son to make it public after his death.

He also claimed that his wife, Dorothy was killed in plane crash caused by the CIA. That’s why he went ahead and plead guilty to the Watergate charges, because he knew his son would be next. Hunt supposedly had retired from the CIA, but was actually undercover for the CIA, at the Whitehouse to keep an eye on Nixon for the CIA.

But who knows for sure. It was a time I’ll never forget. My Dad and I were sitting and watching the TV when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. At that time, I said now we’ll never know for sure, and my Dad said you are right.

I have lived through some interesting times in History-today we are living through an exciting and epic time.

It is high time that this country rid itself of the subversives that have infested the highest levels of government. Muslims, communists and just general country haters.

The swamp doesn’t just need draining but buried so it can never rise again.

Look, it’s almost unavoidable for us to mistake these interactive, mafia type characters running through the hall ways throughout SEVENTEEN intel agencies. I have done it countless times. We all have. Not to worry. Think how many things we are right about! .)
