Former top CIA spy blasts old boss John Brennan’s ‘unpatriotic’ conduct as 'dereliction of duty'

Former CIA Moscow station Chief Daniel Hoffman laid into his former boss at Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, during an interview with Just the News.

"One of the things that bothers me the most is when someone kind of starts with their answer, and then they try to twist the facts to fit it," Hoffman said Tuesday. "I saw Brennan do that when I served under him CIA. And I saw him do it when he was, you know, a contributor at MSNBC accusing the president of treason with nothing whatsoever to back it up."

"If he had concerns about President Trump, then go tell you know, Bob Mueller about it. But you don't need to speak up publicly about stuff that isn't even true on MSNBC," Hoffman said.

The former CIA official took specific offense with Brennan pushing an unconfirmed narrative to a viewing audience that would believe what he had to say because of his elevated position in the intelligence community.

"I think viewers would have assumed that because Brennan was director of the CIA, he would know something that they don't and they probably believed him," Hoffman said. "I don't even know why he's still given the opportunity to be on air, after all of that."

He continued, "I just find his behavior to be abysmal, unpatriotic in retirement. I just, I think he's done a real disservice to the national dialogue on national security but on Russia in particular, and if you're concerned about about partisanship, he's just made it worse."

Brennan is now self identified as an activist Left wing America hater, he can live with it. Certainly not a statesman or any department leader deserving respect.

Is this Hoffman’s first public dumping on Brennan? Why now? Of course I’m looking for any shred that might mean the jig is about up. I know, keep dreaming.

It's because the bimbos and pretentious men of MSNBC like the lies Brennan puts out...

It’s not...how many patriots that you know. It’s...how much evil can you eliminate.

Ask not, what your country can do for you. Ask, what your country can do to you.

In the far turn of The Collectivist’s Cup the rest of the also rans pulled up. Down the stretch it was Marx/Mao on the inside, Mohammed on the outside. At the wire...Mohammed by a head. Hold all ballots. It’s not official. I can’t wait to go to the Kentucky Derby the 1st Saturday in May...the most exciting 2 minutes in sports...oh...wait.

Strong horse ALERT!

Asymmetric war. Every day. For the rest of our lives.

“The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the believers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military. . . . The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting.”- Majid Khadduri
