    That is Brennan being political and outspoken.

    That's forthcoming.......hence the tRUmp twitter freak out panic........he is desperately spinning because he knows what's coming. It's inevitable, Patriot Mueller is on it and tRUmp is the bone.

    An opinion........just an FYI. Same as Brennan's statements as a private deeply concerned citizen with patriot creds.

    You are confused, the Mueller investigations are just around the year and a quarter mark......multiple guilty pleas, multiple indictments and multiple investigations in the pipeline. Bengazi BS fiasco was around four years to boot just for reference and zero indictments/pleas. So, why is tRUmp so afraid of the Mueller investigations?

    If Obama misused intel, we'd have known of the Trump Towers meeting before Comey pulled the November Surprise.

    Brennan crossed a line, really before the "treason" thing. He got personal with Trump's dissing the intelligence agencies in his first weeks. I hope Trump gets hit by lightening or a clogged artery, but he's potus. But he's potus for now.

    It's political. A political view and a political statement made on national television and his actions in the Obama Administration were also very political.

    You may agree with his statements, but they are political, nonetheless.

    Yet Brennan is an apolitical patriot serving the American people while in office......his professional expertise has lead him to make the statements he has made. You'd better pay attention as he is blowing the warning whistles.

    Obama didn't start off by dissing the CIA and NSA either. Trump came in with a personal grievance over his connections with Russia being looked at, and Brennan in turn took it to a personal level.

    Let's hope that guys like Mullan and Stavradis just stick to actual policy and not politics or personal piss offs.

    What did Brennan publicly say about Obama while Obama was in office?

    I realize you post stuff about him being for or against policy, but that was his job, whether you agree with the policy or not. That's just not evidence of him being political.

    Mueller came late to the party though ... Brennan, Yates, Comey, and notably Bruce Ohr ... were all fully invested in Russiagate as early as 2015. That's when Halper accused Flynn of Russian collusion, and Yates placed him under surveillance, and Rice unmasked him ... etc, ect ...

    I think we have proof that Obama (or those in his Administration) misused the Intel agencies. Follow the timeline on the Dossier, etc. It all leads back to the Obama Administration.

    I don't wish death on our leaders, especially the POTUS. I hope he succeeds and get his agenda completely. I like what he is trying to do economically and militarily. Politically, he is an outsider who punches back hard. Sometimes too hard and he needs a filter on those tweets. The one thing I can't figure out is why Democrats hate him so much. He was a Democrat for a long time and someone who is very "centrist" much in the way of John F. Kennedy. I think the party moved so far left, he is just another obstacle blocking a socialist agenda that has been stalled.

    I would say he was carrying out the Obama agenda. Especially when it came to spying on Senators and lying about things they were doing. That includes the Russia probe they started on the Trump campaign.

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/may/29/john-brennan-obama-loyalist-and-cia-director-drove/

    and:

    https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/brennan-security-clearance-removed/

    There is a lot more on Brennan out there and I think he was one of the most political and worst directors we have ever had at the CIA. But I could say that about the FBI and DOJ as well.

    But Brennan is using his resume and clearance to lend credibility to his opinions. Trump took that credibility factor away from him and has left him with his opinions intact.

    He wasn't. He was very political and was instrumental in getting the resources together to spy on the Trump campaign. He was a political appointment who did the best he could to help cover up Benghazi and carry out the Obama agenda.

    He was political while in office and remains so today.

    again, you link policy issues and assert personal issues. It's false, and I'm not putting up with it anymore. Trump ALWAYS personalizes issues - the Central Park 5, Obama the non-citizen, Pocohantus ..... it's what he does. Brennan should not have taken the bait and done the same.

    But as I posted, we'll see how far Trump tries to push this in trying to deflect from the substance of Russiagate - if there is really much substance to it in the end.

    It has been proven to the satisfaction of every government agency responsible for the security of the United States with the exception of the Presidency.

    The reason Trump is scared is Mueller is investigating Trump and his families financial dealings and their financial ties to Russia. And that can result in indictments thst the Republican run House of Representatives will not be able to sweep under the rug.

    What is false? That Brennan played a key role in spying on the Trump campaign? The NDA's to help keep the lid on Benghazi? Also, it was Brennan spouting off on national television that caused Trump to fire back. Trump did not call out Brennan or label him as treasonous. This is a war started by Brennan and Trump responding in kind.

    Except that no one except a few die hard conspiracy theorists still believe that the Trump campaign was spied upon. Bet you still think that Obama bugged the Trump towers.

    Trumps overreaction just raised Brennan's credibility. Particulary now that Trump is threatening to remove security clearance from all his critics. It is kind of like having been on Nixon's enemies list. A badge of honor.
