| [The Hill] Former CIA director defends top FBI officials amid Trump attacks. Former CIA Director John Brennan came to the defense of two senior FBI officials on Saturday after President Trump targeted the pair on Twitter. Brennan tweeted that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and top FBI lawyer James Baker "epitomize integrity, competence, and respect for rule of law." "Not surprised @realDonaldTrump fears them, along with the rest of FBI," continued Brennan, who served as CIA chief under former President Obama. "I just donated to @FBIAgentsAssoc as a small way of saying #thanksFBI," Brennan tweeted, along with a link explaining how to donate to the association. Brennan's tweet came after Trump took took aim at the senior FBI officials earlier Saturday, ratcheting up his feud with leadership of the law enforcement agency. Trump first jabbed at McCabe after it was reported he would be stepping down from his FBI post in March when he is eligible for full pension benefits. Trump wrote that the No. 2 FBI official is "racing the clock to retire with full benefits." |

| #5 Brennan is was and likely always will be a stooge. Ask him about how badly he missed on ISIS, North Korea nukes, Iran nukes, Hezbollah, etc. Brennan should be on trial. |

| #3 A name that is curiously absent from all of this is who I believe is a prime mover in a lot of this stuff: Valarie Jarret. Nothing happened in the Oval Office that she did not have an active part. Any reason why she has not been subpoenaed? |

| #2 When does DJT shove Brennan's prayer rug down his throat on national tv? NCAA bowl playoff halftime seems a good choice. |
