John Brennan warns Trump that his 'protective cocoon' is 'temporary'
[WashingtonExaminer] Former CIA Director John Brennan warned President Trump that the "protective cocoon" surrounding him is "only temporary" in an ominous tweet defending James Comey.

After Trump tweeted, "Perhaps never in the history of our Country has someone been more thoroughly disgraced and excoriated than James Comey in the just released Inspector General’s Report," Brennan responded by saying Comey "is far more decent, ethical, honest, competent, & patriotic than [Trump] could ever hope to be," and it is only because of Attorney General William Barr and Senate Republicans that he is not in a world of "trouble & hurt."

"But their protective cocoon is only temporary," he added.
Hmmmm... what did "Ghost Warrior" mean by that?

#5 Is he referring to the media when mentioning ‘protective cocoon’? Or to the never Trumpers who leak and sneak?

I think Mr Trump has figured out that he is on his own in DC and has no plans on heading to daily plaza.

#7 Ref #4: .....did Brennan play a role in the illegal FISA submissions?

The entire Trump Dossier affair was very likely a bilateral UK-US intelligence collection project from start to finish. Anytime a foreign source (Christopher Steele) is involved, you can pretty well bet onerous vultures like Brennan have their spoons in the pudding. This Epstein-Maxwell business is yet another case in point. Big money, foreign players, honey pot nooky; may not be anything there... but all of the ingredients are present.

#8 Besoeker, I'm thinking much of what you said also applies to the Mexican cartels. There are a lot of spoons in that pudding too.

#11 Someone needs to read their history on the latter days of the Roman Republic, with a particular focus on the effects of making political defeat a matter of life or death.

Start with Duckduckgoing the phrase "Sulla".

#12 Pure evil's commandments.

The left represents "hate" thy neighbor.
Do unto others what you would "not" want done to you.
Thou shall steal.
Screw everyone and everything.
Thou shall kill.
Bear false witness against others.
Lie.
Dishonor your mother and your father.
Have only one god, yourself.

#14 Besoeker, the Australian government (under Turnbull the termite) should be on that list too.
