Reince Priebus: Ex-CIA chief John Brennan is ‘bitter’ he wasn’t retained by President Trump
washingtontimes.com ^ | 1/22/17 | Bradford Richardson

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus chalked up the apparent rift between President Trump and the intelligence community to the fact that former CIA director John Brennan is “bitter” he wasn’t retained.

“I find the whole thing despicable,” Mr. Priebus said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think that it’s unprofessional, I think perhaps he’s bitter — you know, he was replaced the day before, he was not asked to hold over like [former director of national intelligence James] Clapper was. I don’t know what’s in his head.”

He said Mr. Brennan has “a lot of things that he should answer for” with regard to a leaked dossier containing unsubstantiated and embarrassing allegations against Mr. Trump.

I feel for Brennan. Put yourself in his shoes. You are kissing Saudi a$$, got to be so delicate and proper all the time, and you put so much hard work and time into blackmailing the president of the United States, and your whole gig ends so quickly. Probably seems like all that hard work was for naught.

Every single one of Obama's Muslim appointees needs to be purged.

The Muslim Brotherhood needs to be declared a terrorist organization (as other countries have done) and any person having any association with it needs to be ineligible for any security clearance or sensitive position.

Central Intelligence Directors almost never stay on, especially with a change of the party in the White House. Michael Hayden was kept on by Obama for less than a month until Panetta was confirmed. So if Bennett thought he was going to be asked to stay then he's a fool.

Reince gets it. He seems to have figured it out at the same time as the rest of Wisconsin- now if we can get Paul Ryan on the Trump Express...

Brennan is a crypto-Muslim, leftist political hack who should not have been given any position at the CIA. Brennan offered nothing of value to the American people. Obama Made him head of the CIA because, as a political hack, he could be trusted to do whatever the administration required to stay in office and cover for their crimes and mistakes.

Now it makes more sense.

I totally agree but it needs to go a little further. If any federal employee has Muslim Brotherhood (A.K.A. Hamas) they need to be fired and forbidden to lobby the US government.

You would think with all this winning I’d be getting tuckered out. Not tired of winning yet.

Some musically inclined and lyrically talented FReeper should cut a YouTube video about "Walking in a Winner Wonderland."

I totally agree with you. In my 50 years of working many jobs in many environments, I learned this one thing.

Any organization is only as 'good' as its leadership is 'good'. And, the people in that organization will only be as 'good' as the leadership allows them to be.

Trump, as a leader does just that.

Becoming a “Submitter” seemed like a sure-fire resume enhancer at the time.
