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.

<< “Like it or not raining the swamp starts at Langley folks. “>>

That is becoming clearer by the hour!

(BTW, I just watched “THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR”, with Redford, last night. Shivers.)

Very informative! I and my daughter agreed Brennan has an affinity for Islam...and this certainly backs this up...

Many disturbing associations in this article!!

(He sure changed his tune about waterboarding, too!)

Very suspicious, isn’t it, because Brennan seems to me to proudly indicate it.

If Brennan is a Mormon or Freemason, then he is an Islamist by oath.

The President is their boss.

Really? That's what JFK thought.

Until the JFK assassination "mystery" is solved, speculation will come up over and over concerning who was behind the murder.

Good news in that regard. The way To PROVE what happened during the shooting has been found. To do that, it is necessary to only use evidence THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN FORGED.

ONLY Simple, high school level math is needed to do that. Once you know what happened during the shooting, the fingerprints of the conspirators behind the murder qucikly become apparent.

The murder of this man has always bothered me. I’d love to have the new administration thoroughly investigate this incident.

The FBI has never explained why the security watch was removed at that crucial time.

Once you understand how to prove a conspiracy killed President Kennedy, the fingerprints of the conspirators are all over the forged evidence. Once you know WHO the main players were in the conspiracy, it will all make sense.

Trump is learning from citizens/victims about evil programs. Everything you are all typing.... multiply it by 100.

War crime stuff. Nuremburg stuff. Things that are so evil, they are the reason why the USA is the ONLY COUNTRY in the UN to not ratify the CRC - CONVENTION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD and the CAT - CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE.

You heard me right. Your kids. USA citizens - are the only kids not protected by the CRC and CAT. The USA did not sign. All other countries did.

Domestic programs - one’s that would make you ashamed.

Pray for President Elect Trump.

Washington denounced masonry publicly, which led to his death at the hands of his barber by bleeding.

Yep. I am amazed that he and the people he has selected in his cabinet are even willing to try this, but thank God for their efforts.

Trump’s been pretty consistent on a lot of issues over the years, and could go a long way toward restoring our Republic, I think. But the alligators will be nipping and the snakes will be striking every time they see an opportunity.

no president since John F. Kennedy has dared to take on the CIA or the rest of the national security establishment.

Boy is that a crock!

The most damaging power grab imaginable is the one were Bill and Hillary Clinton's unprecedented move to Fire all the lawyers that were considered non-political, that had been there for years through several different administrations over these security agencies.

They immediately replaced them with their own shysters that allowed them access to all those FBI. CIA, records of all Congressmen, Judges Companies, whistle blowers,The Press, wealthy individual Americans.

It also allowed them unbelievable power to control or turn these same agencies into ruthless attack dogs with no independent over site or protections by the lawyers who were originally supposed to keep them in line for their White House Presidential Boss.

They have use the same to attack anyone they wanted for many decades and the is very reason they never went to and never will go to jail.
