From last April in
The American Spectator:
Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Brennan
teamed up with British spies and Estonian spies to cripple Trump’s
candidacy. He used their phony intelligence as a pretext for a
multi-agency investigation into Trump, which led the FBI to probe a
computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice,
among other Hillary supporters, to spy on Trump and his people.
John
Brennan’s CIA operated like a branch office of the Hillary campaign,
leaking out mentions of this bogus investigation to the press in the
hopes of inflicting maximum political damage on Trump. An official in
the intelligence community tells TAS that Brennan’s retinue of
political radicals didn’t even bother to hide their activism, decorating
offices with “Hillary for president cups” and other campaign
paraphernalia.
A supporter of the American Communist Party at the
height of the Cold War, Brennan brought into the CIA a raft of
subversives and gave them plum positions from which to gather and leak
political espionage on Trump. He bastardized standards so that these
left-wing activists could burrow in and take career positions. Under the
patina of that phony professionalism, they could then present their
politicized judgments as “non-partisan.” (Read more.)
From last summer in
Investors Business Daily:
Then there's former CIA chief John Brennan, who has also stepped out
of his supposedly apolitical role as a spymaster to make highly charged
political comments about Trump. After Trump's comments about Charlottesville, Brennan ripped into Trump for making "dangerous" and "ugly" comments.
He's entitled to his opinion, of course. But it has long been a part
of our tradition of government service that former officials serving in a
nonpolitical capacity would leave the criticisms of other
administrations to the elected politicians. To ignore this tradition
runs the risk of tainting the professionalism of the agencies they once
headed, and provides evidence that the heavily politicized, entrenched,
progressive "deep state" that many Americans believe poses a danger to
our republic really does exist.
By the way, Brennan in remarks made last July that can only be called
highly questionable suggested that it's "obligation of some executive
branch officials" to refuse to fire Robert Mueller, who is heading up
the open-ended investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia
and its hacking of the 2016 election.
Let's be clear: Trump, should he want to do so, would be absolutely
within his rights as president to seek Mueller's firing. Whether it
would be politically wise to do so is a separate question. And Brennan's remarks are incredibly self-serving, since he is the
one who initiated the investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to
Russia last summer, in the heat of the campaign. The Obama loyalist did
so, apparently, thinking it would fatally damage Trump's campaign.
"It was then-CIA Director John O. Brennan, a close confidant of Mr.
Obama's, who provided the information — what he termed the 'basis' — for
the FBI to start the counterintelligence investigation last summer,"
wrote Washington Times national security correspondent Rowan
Scarborough last May. "Mr. Brennan served on the former president's 2008
presidential campaign and in his White House."
Brennan, by the way, also aided in making up the bogus talking points
used by the Obama administration to lie about what happened in
Benghazi, Libya, where four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador
Christopher Stevens, were murdered. Whose interests was Brennan serving? (Read more.)
From a few days ago in
The American Spectator:
It was the Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky who
coined the phrase the “dustbin of history.” To his political opponents,
he sputtered, “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!”
It is no coincidence that John Brennan, who
supported the Soviet-controlled American Communist Party in the 1970s
(he has acknowledged that he thought his vote for its presidential
candidate Gus Hall threatened his prospects at the CIA; unfortunately,
it didn’t), would borrow from Trotsky’s rhetoric in his fulminations
against Donald Trump. His tweet last week, shortly after the firing of
Andrew McCabe, reeked of Trotskyite revolutionary schlock: “When the
full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption
becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced
demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but
you will not destroy America… America will triumph over you.”
America
will triumph over a president it elected? That’s the raw language of
coup, and of course it is not the first time Brennan has indulged it. In
2017, he was calling for members of the executive branch to defy the
chief executive. They should “refuse to carry out” his lawful directives
if they don’t agree with them, he said.
Trump has said that the
Russians are “laughing their asses off” over the turmoil caused by
Obamagate. No doubt many of the laughs come at the sight of Brennan, a
supporter of Soviet stooges like Gus Hall, conducting a de facto coup
from the top of the CIA and then continuing it after his ouster. Who
needs Gus Hall when John Brennan is around? This time the Russians don’t
even have to pay for the anti-American activity. (Read more.)
Meanwhile,
Sara Carter reports on the Mueller investigation:
Special Counsel Robert Mueller III and lead attorney in the Special Counsel’s Office Andrew
Weissmann have been connected to one another throughout most of their
careers, and both men moved quickly to the top tackling major crime
syndicates and white-collar crime. Ironically, both men were also connected in two of the biggest
corruption investigations in FBI history. But rarely are Weissmann and
Mueller’s past cases discussed in the media. Their past is relevant
because it gives a roadmap to the future — now that these two longtime
colleagues are charged with one of the most controversial investigations
into a president in recent history.
“The integrity of the 'investigation' and of the 'investigators' must
be a paramount priority in our criminal justice system at all times,”
said David Schoen, a civil rights and defense attorney, who has been
outspoken on the special counsel investigation. “Certainly this
fundamental guiding principle must be followed when it comes to an
investigation of the duly elected President of the United States. The
outcome potentially affects every one of us in very real terms…There
were many alternatives to Mr. Mueller and his team and all of their very
troubling baggage.” (Read more.)

The entire case reeks worse than a pig sty in July.
