"Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan, a Barack Obama friend and protégé as well as a current paid contributor for NBC and MSNBC, has blasted President Donald Trump for congratulating President Vladimir Putin over his victory in recent Russian national elections. He said that the U.S. President is “afraid of the president of Russia” and that the Kremlin “may have something on him personally. The fact that he has had this fawning attitude toward Mr. Putin …continues to say to me that he does have something to fear and something very serious to fear.”"
It is an indication of how low we have sunk as a nation that a possible war criminal like Brennan can feel free to use his former official status as a bully pulpit to claim that someone is a foreign spy without any real pushback or objection from the talking heads and billionaire manipulators that unfortunately run our country. If Trump is actually being blackmailed, as Brennan implies, what evidence is there for that? One might reasonably conclude that Brennan and his associates are actually angry because Trump has had the temerity to try to improve relations with Russia." Giraldi

I have known both Brennan and Giraldi for a long time. They are examples of the worst (Brennan) and the best (Giraldi) that the CIA has produced although I will remind that Giraldi started in the Army and was lured to Langley when already a well known and respected person in the intelligence community.
Brennan, at the beginning of his career was judged by CIA to be unsuited to be a field man and was made an analyst. I first knew him when I was Defense Attache in Jiddah and he was attached to Alan Fiers office. It was clear to me from the beginning that he was someone whom you should not trust or turn your back on.
Giraldi here lays out the case for Brennan's turpitude. Let Sessions act on this! Let him act! pl
Presumably Brennan can shoot off his mouth with his opinion. I have read things that made me wonder if there were a connection between some Russians and Mr. Trump, or certain members of his family, or his campaign. But at this point such claims are mere conjecture. Supposedly this is why we have an investigation by Mr. Mueller. Maybe at some point we will have concrete facts. So for the time being we have opinions without proof.
But as opinions go this does not strike me as outlandish as the claims that Barack Obama was not a natural born citizen. This was objectively verifiable. Why did the birth announcement appear in the two Honolulu papers? The truth on this matter was known, or knowable, from the beginning of Obama's political career. So to go about claiming he was not a citizen meant that one was: 1. Illiterate (possible); 2. Ignorant of objective reality; 3. a liar.
I am waiting for some report from the investigation, for documents that we can examine, something to move this beyond conjecture.
