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.
He needs to hang from a rope on the National Mall.
> They knew that if they opposed the national-security establishment at a fundamental level, they would be subjected to retaliatory measures.
Really? The President is their boss.
Trump needs to re-organize the whole system. Gut CIA leadership and start over. Eliminate whole agencies.
Do we really need 17 agencies?
“So did the CIA kill Kennedy?”
President Trump should always all FOIA requests related to the CIA & JFK’s mysterious demise to be complied with in unredacted form .... let the American people decide....
It’s not a fight with intelligence agencies. It’s a fight with Obama lackies. Once they’re gone it’s a whole new ball game.
Brennan was the LEAKER!! He is a liar!! he lied and said that the NSA WAS NOT SPYING ON US!!!! He was exposed by the national HERO Edward Snowden as an absolute BALD FACED LIAR. He committed perjury in testimony to Congress and I want him in JAIL!!
Personally I would like to see ALL Anti American MUZZIE Ba$tards Taking a good old "dirt nap" complete with "pig guts" for pillows!
Fake news = Taqqiya = fake news = muzzie “truth”
There is no confirmation, that I have ever found, but there is video of Brennan giving a sentimental sop speech at some gathering in DC, and some speculation that his time in the Middle East attracted him to the religion of Islam.
Even today, I heard Brennan speak of “beautiful Syria” in his interview with Chris Wallace, today on FOX Sunday. His sentimentality for the ME and Islam is constant and in-your-face.
I kind of like how Trump is giving them the middle finger.
Absolutely.
Welcome to our totally corrupt government. Imagine if during WWII our president named a Japanese guy to a top post in the government. So why do we have a muzzie as head of the CIA? Why do we have Muzzies in many top jobs in our government. It is insane.
Only in Obama’s America is the main intelligence organization run by the enemy.
Neat, huh?
You might check into it.
Not saying he is but I certainly won’t say that he isn’t.
What you say is correct. I can find no confirmation that he is, but he certainly is not wary of Islam. In fact he seems overly supportive.
What does a Muslim look like? Just in case I see one walking down the street.
So somebody told CNN and BuzzFeed that the dossier was in the briefing. Who leaked that bit of information?
Seems reasonable to think it was the same person who put the fake dossier in the report.
I say it was probably Brennen.
Really? That's what JFK thought.
Unfortunately when JFK pulled the plug on the Bay of Pigs invasion the CIA was very unhappy.
Maybe Ted Cruz's dad could tell us more about that.
