    What difference at this point does it all makes?

    Not much... Trump is the president, America is doing great. If that was the russkies objective, I hope they do it again and help Conservatives.

    "Conservatives" need the help of the RU Fed? They need the help of a foreign adversarial government to win elections? Have "conservatives" sold their souls to the devil? Is there no price for this?

    Yeah.

    Brennan has criticized Trump 24/7, but never criticized Obama.

    I voted against Hillary. I think you'll find many many millions of folks who did exactly that. Now, perhaps not ALL did it for that reason, but I'd say it's a fair statement to say the most did.

    You asked if it can be proven that Brennan is "not apolitical" and I said "Yeah. Brennan has criticized Trump 24/7, but never criticized Obama" and then you respond with the above.

    LMFAO!

    You have nothing, right?

    It'll be interesting to see if Trump tries pushing this farther.

    Yes, turn on the TV and watch his interviews. Go back and read his statements from his time in the CIA. Here is an example:

    "John Brennan didn’t suddenly become political with the election of Donald Trump, as his defenders in the intelligence community and the media would have us believe. He was an adviser on Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. He was political as a top White House counterterrorism adviser. And he was political as CIA director. He used intimidation tactics similar to the ones he now finds so objectionable and lied about it afterwards. He sold the country a misleading narrative about the demise of al Qaeda and worked to bury evidence that contradicted Obama administration claims."

    Brennan has been one of the political directors we have ever had in government:

    "But portraying Brennan as a dispassionate, apolitical intelligence professional is misleading. It gives his pronouncements the appearance of detachment and objectivity; they have neither. Some reporters doing this are guilty of the black-hat/white-hat reporting that has infected political journalism in the Trump era. Trump so offends their sensibilities that they depict his critics as heroes almost by default. Other reporters are no doubt portraying Brennan this way out of genuine ignorance. After all, there wasn’t much reporting on his efforts to politicize intelligence during the Obama administration and what reporting there was routinely was ignored."

    I would say the evidence against John Brennan is overwhelming. As easily proved as his repeated lies and cover ups.

    Not to defend Brennan, but disliking Trump is not evidence of partisanship without Brennan similarly speaking out against republicans in general.

    He will. I am betting he has another 6-9 that will be revoked shortly.

    Then why have you tried to make it about "patriotism"? The topic is Brennan contradicting himself ... again. The topic extends to revocation of security clearance, and if you haven't heard, the WH has a list of candidates for revocation. Brennan isn't the only "patriotic" liar that needs purged, and he won't feel lonely very long.

    Well, then he will prove Brennan was right. But Brennan was always apolitical. But he took Trump's actions very personally. And I don't think he should have done that. Trump behaves like a angry adolescent, but that isn't license for others to imitate him.

    Those are his opinions as a CIA/spymaster professional after observing Trump's actions/behaviour and also Trump's actions/behaviour in the presence of Vlad............that's called instinct and his has been honed by experience. His is seeing red warning lights flashing........he says as much.

    Trump hasn't had the opportunity to lie under oath ... Brennan is pathological. I don't care what his political leanings are ... he can't be trusted.

    Well, it depends on why Trump is revoking them. There might be something else or more details coming down the road about the "why", other than Trump doesn't trust these former advisers.

    I think Brennan has been extremely political for almost his entire career in the CIA. He has a lot of evidence against him suggesting such and his regular "TDS" outbursts on CNN is just more proof, IMO.

    I think Trump might be right about our Intel communities. Not the entire organization, but a few bad actors at the top. We have seen widespread abuse under Obama and a lot of it was directed directly at Trump and his campaign. I think America dodged a bullet when Trump beat Hillary. Let's get all of this out in the open and let's start moving things back to a "centrist" more open government.

    I guess someone should present evidence to a grand jury that justifies issuance of a subpoena. I hope the petitioners don't lie too much ... again.
