John Brennan, Melting Down and Covering Up

Via Billy

 

It isn’t a pretty face, but one scarred from a dark past, repackaged now by the frenzy of “resistance.” Accusing Donald Trump recklessly, implying he knows more than he lets on, promising redemption:
  John Brennan is the face of American politics in 2018.

But before all that, Brennan lived in a hole about as far down into the deep state as one can dwell while still having eyes that work in the sunlight.

He was Obama’s counterterrorism advisor, helping the president decide who to kill every week, including American citizens. He spent 25 years at the CIA, and helped shape the violent policies of the post-9/11 Bush era. He was a fan of torture and extrajudicial killing to the point that a 2012 profile of him was entitled, “The Seven Deadly Sins of John Brennan.” Another writer called Brennan “the most lethal bureaucrat of all time, or at least since Henry Kissinger.” Today, however, a New York Times puff piece sweeps all that away as a “troubling inheritance.

  1. Well of course. He's left-wing!

    The CIA frightens me.

    Ironic how the press mocks Trump for saying he could shoot someone and not lose supporters, though that original comment had sounded like he was repeating a phrase another had used.

    Obama and Brennan literally had US citizens killed. Amazing. We really need to bring the troops home.

      Long overdue.

  2. The Helsinki Summit showed the world that the democrat party would rather risk nuclear war than admit to Obama's Watergate.
