Chilling!
By the way, he said early in the interview that he does not belong to any political party. So he has opinions, but not bias

(63,562 posts)this is on us too. We know how the Repigs only think about themselves and not the oath they took. All I hear is crickets. Treasonous bastards.

(6,831 posts)It was a good interview. Brennan has always been a rather soft-spoken, but straight-forward man, and he didn't disappoint, tonight. I suspect he will continue to receive briefings that are in the best interest of the nation despite whatever that treason-weasel has in mind. John's been around a long time and knows his way through the channels.
But this is unprecedented. There is a protocol for handling such things in a professional manner and turd-weasel just did an end run around all of the tradition of such things, steamrolling his way through, crashing like a three-headed bull into the china shop.
There is a move in congress to put an end to this nonsense, as it is not done to benefit the country, but to placate the petulant child in the WH.

(6,797 posts)but I especially loved the way he said " Mr. Trump" instead of President. I never call him president either.

(51,368 posts)"He's driving us off a cliff" or some driving reference. I thought to myself that he really does act like a drunk driver. He doesn't think, he just goes crashing through everything recklessly with no care about who he hurts.

(2,338 posts)But, coming from a person of his stature, it carries much more weight.
I have worked,over the years, with a number of senior IC people before I retired. I never worked directly with him. Didnt work with or around the CIA. He is greatly respected, though.
Oh, and the Orange Turd can rescind MY effin clearance TOO!!!
