Brennan Tears Into Donald Trump Over Andrew McCabe Firing
2018-03-18
[Huffpoo] Former CIA chief John Brennan did not mince his words when taking aim at President Donald Trump on Saturday morning.

In a blistering tweet, Brennan blasted Trump for celebrating the dismissal of former FBI deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Trump would take his "rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history"
Good lord — which of the famous early Communists is the idiot so revealingly choosing to quote?
once "the full extent" of his "venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known," Brennan wrote.

"You may scapegoat Andy McCabe," he added. "But you will not destroy America... America will triumph over you."

#9  A notable usage was that of the Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky referring to the Mensheviks: "You are pitiful, isolated individuals! You are bankrupts. Your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on – into the dustbin of history!"

#7  Funny how the media, Brennan, and Clapper and others have danced around the issue that it was the IG that recommended McCabe be fired and the actual decision to fire him came from the DoJ HR department...Trump had nothing to do with it.

They keep trying to bury how they leaked false information to the media before and after the election to create a false narrative for a willing media.

Will anyone ever fully investigate how Fusion GPS paid some media critters to publish some of their stories about the dossier (I still believe that was a separate operation from the dossier and afterall $4 million is a lot of money).

#6  IMHO, and the opinion of many other Americans, the likes of Soetero, Brennan and HRC were a far greater threat and concern to the U.S. than Donald Trump.

Brennan lied under oath. Clapper lied under oath. Koskinen lied under oath. Lerner pled the fifth. Holder lied under oath. Lynch lied under oath. McCabe lied under oath. Comey lied under oath. Hillary lied under oath. Bill Clinton lied under oath.

#3  Brennan and Soetoro go back a long way. You decide:

Trip to Pakistan

US State Department Passport Office

Don't bother trying to find the NYT article. It has fallen off the edge of the internets.

#2  Brennan is the son of Irish immigrants from Roscommon, Republic of Ireland. He was born in North Bergen, New Jersey.[10] He attended the Immaculate Heart of Mary Elementary School, and graduated from Saint Joseph of the Palisades High School in West New York, New Jersey before enrolling at Fordham University in New York City.[6]

While riding a bus to class at Fordham, he saw an ad in The New York Times that said the CIA was recruiting, and he felt a CIA career would be a good match for his "wanderlust" and his desire to do public service.[6] His studies included a junior year abroad learning Arabic and taking Middle Eastern studies courses at the American University in Cairo.[4][6]

In 1976, he voted for Communist Party USA candidate Gus Hall in the presidential election; he later said that he viewed it as a way "of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change."[17]

He received a B.A. in political science from Fordham in 1977.[4] He then attended the University of Texas at Austin, receiving a Master of Arts in government with a concentration in Middle Eastern studies in 1980.[6] He speaks Arabic fluently.[10]

--- Really that old Stalinist Gus Hall? Spit...

#1  When the Vietnam war ended all the titles of the Air America planes along with the CIA chief who "owned" them and the planes themselves disappeared.
The CIA still had "redline" money for years later so maybe they still helped out the Burma Triangle folks.

So, after their dark lord Obama, what "resources" did Brennan and his clique help themselves to?
