John Brennan's Latest Rant Provides Best Accidental Endorsement for Tulsi Gabbard for DNI
2025-01-27
[Red State] One of the first executive actions that President Donald Trump took was to pull the security clearances of the 51 former intel officials who were involved in the infamous letter about the Hunter Biden laptop.

That action from Trump prompted a whining fit from former CIA Director John Brennan, who was one of the signatories of that letter.

On Sunday, Brennan was still whining on MSNBC's "The Weekend." This time, he was railing about the roles the Director of National Intelligence and Director of the CIA play in making sure people who have to make the decisions are fully informed about what the reality is. If they withhold things or "skew things," it's really going to be detrimental, he declared.

Brennan claimed it was "so, so dangerous" if they just gave Trump the information he wanted to hear.
Does he realize that the president of the United States gets information from multiple sources — and can even do his own research? Or at least an energetic, intelligent president will do so. “Trust but verify,” as President Reagan said.

#2  Getting Trump loyalist in DoJ, FBI, and CIA, they'll have a trove of info that I suspect many Congresscritters would rather keep silent. Trump doesn't care about feelings after all you did to him.

#1  There is a group of Republican Senators that McConnell usually rotates from his bullpen to support Schumer’s agenda with votes. They are compensated and allowed to make conservative votes at other times for cover. Romney, McCain, Murkowski and Collins were/are in that rotation. McConnell definitely has some loyalists lined up for the Tulsi vote. Hopefully, all those Senators got a good look at happened to Columbia over the weekend. It is a while before 2026 and Trump is transactional. He moves on. We, his voters, do not move on. Any Senators that participate in McConnell's plan will wear the mark of Cain in our eyes going forward. The Dem plan also will not work. They might stop Tulsi, but Trump surely has another capable loyalist ready to go. He is a chess master. Don’t be a pawn.
