Former Top Intelligence Man Admits He May Have Relied On 'Bad Information'
2019-03-26
[New York Post] Former head of the CIA John Brennan admitted on Monday that he may have relied on "bad information" for his relentless attacks on President Trump.

Brennan ‐ who once warned that "our Nation’s future is at stake" ‐ told MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" that he may have been misled on the extent of Trump’s connections to Russia.

"Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was," Brennan said. "I am relieved that it’s been determined there was not a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government over our election."

The former spy chief was reacting to a summary report by Attorney General William Barr released on Saturday that states there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Brennan still maintained that there were inappropriate attempts to communicate with the Kremlin but said he was "not all that surprised that the high bar of criminal conspiracy was not met."

#10  Funny how the last few decades the CIA was fairly reliable as the bad guy (or full of rogue agents) in movies. Better seen as the villain than incompetent I guess.

#7  However, that may explain all the CIA failures for the last, what?, fifty years? Maybe we should be looking for people who can gather good information.

Even further if you count The Bay of Pigs.

#4  Would Brennan still be at CIA if Hillary had won? What other horrors might the nation have had to endure if that witch had gotten into the White House?
