Ex-CIA Director Brennan angry at home inspection termite report
2017-01-22
Playing politics.
[The Hill] Former CIA Director John Brennan was reportedly "deeply saddened" by President Trump's remarks at the Central Intelligence Agency on Saturday.

According to former CIA deputy chief of staff Nick Shapiro, Brennan believes that Trump "should be ashamed of himself" for his "display of simple facts self-aggrandizement."

"Former CIA director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump's despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA's Memorial Wall of Agency heroes. Brennan says that Trump should be ashamed of himself," Shapiro said in a pair of tweets.

During his remarks on Saturday, Trump took the opportunity to blast the media for their coverage of the inauguration, accusing news networks of lying about the size of the crowd that attended the event.

"Honestly it looked like a million and half people, whatever it was it was. But it went all the way back to the Washington Monument ... and by mistake I get this network and it showed an empty field, and it said we drew 250,000 people. Now that's not bad, but its a lie," Trump said.

Trump also denied having a "feud" with the intelligence community, blaming it on "dishonest" media and vowing to strongly support intelligence officials.

"As you know I have a running war with the media," Trump said.
Now you know, that I know, so please muzzle your dogs.
"They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. And they sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community. And just want to let you know that the reason you’re the No. 1 stop is exactly the opposite."

#12  How come Brennan didn't say he wasn't authorized to comment without approval of his Imam?

#9  In an analogy to waste water treatment, the scum that settles on top of the secondary cell or clarifier, must be skimmed off and returned to the mixed liquor in the primary cell, for further aeration and broken down into CO2 and H2O

#8  Anon, I think there is a difference between a feud with the CIA leadership, Brennan, and the CIA community-the rank and file. The CIA is full of hard working Americans that care for our nation. The leadership has become political and needs to be fixed.

#7  While the left works the donors, Hollywood, and msm, Trump works the grass roots. Started day 1 of his campaign, started day 1 in office. The secret to his success.

#4  Yes it does. It tells me that most of the administrative idiots at the CIA need to be fired.

#3  An angry John Brennan bitc*es and moans. CIA rank and file cheer and applaud. Sort of tells you something, doesn't it.

#2  but he does have a feud with the intelligence community and rightly so

starting with the Muslim at the top, Brennan, spent too long in Saudi Arabia being influenced.
