Former CIA director John Brennan says Trump was too soft on Putin
2017-07-09
[Breitbart] Former CIA director John Brennan on Sunday harshly criticized President Trump’s performance during the G20 summit in Germany, saying he failed to take a hard enough line against Russian President Vladimir Putin and appeared to question the word of the U.S. intelligence community.

"He said it’s an honor to meet President Putin. An honor to meet the individual who carried out the assault against our election? To me, it was a dishonorable thing to say," Mr. Brennan said of Mr. Trump during an interview with NBC’s "Meet the Press."

The White House insisted Sunday that Mr. Trump pressed Mr. Putin on Russia’s alleged interference in the U.S. campaign.

However, the president and his chief of staff have said other entities might have been responsible for meddling last year.
Mr. Brennan, who led the CIA from 2013 to 2017 under President Barack Obama, took exception to Mr. Trump doubting the conclusions of U.S. intelligence offers who pointed their fingers squarely at Russia.

#6  Brennan was a leaking asskissing Obama chump. Under his leadership the intelligence community blew it in North Korea, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, and the list goes on... and to top it off, the huge wikileaks mess, on his watch too. He was a leading proponent of calling the terrorists "extremists" and not jihadists, an elimintating Islam references to them. This sumbitch was a horrible failure by any objective standard.

Why does anyone treat him as a credible expert on anything other than how to be a failure of the intelligence community?

#5  Yeah, instead of a diplomatic "Nice to meet you!", Trump should have punched Putin in the face saying "Take that, you rotten commie bastage!". Jeez, could Brennan be a bigger tool?

It's difficult to consider "honor" and John Brennan--duplicitous SOB.
