The War with the President Elect and CIA Has Reached a Fevered Pitch: Brennan and Trump Spar Through Media Over Russia and Fake News

The war between the  CIA and Trump cannot be hidden anymore. After weeks of false intelligence leaks designed to weaken the incoming President, following an interview with Fox News which featured CIA Director Brennan warning Trump about his mouth and Russia, Trump eviscerated Brennan for intelligence failures in Syria and the Ukraine —  and then questioned whether Brennan was the leaker of ‘fake news’ to the embattled main stream media.

Incredible stuff.

Here is the Brennan interview, with his choice comments highlighted below.

Source: Fox News

“I don’t think he has a full understanding of Russian capabilities and the actions they are taking on the world.”

“Now that he’s going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting, he’s going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that US and national security interests are protected.”

“Mr. Trump has to understand that absolving Russia is a road that he needs to be very, very careful about moving down.”

Brennan said Trump likening the U.S. intelligence community to Nazi German for presumably leaking the content of an opposition-research dossier on him is “outrageous.”

“The world is watching now what Mr Trump says and listening very carefully. If he doesn’t have confidence in the intelligence community, what signal does that send to our partners and allies as well as our adversaries?”

“It’s more than just about Mr Trump.”

“There is no interest in undermining the president elect,” he said. “Our responsibility is to understand dangers on the world stage so (Trump and his Republican administration) have the intel we have so they can make the best decision.”

However, he said Trump “needs to be disciplined” and that he’ll face numerous challenges” in his presidency that begins Friday — with terrorism, cybersecurity, North Korea and Middle East instability among those at the top.

“So many issues on Day One,” Brennan said.

    So he’s lecturing people on Ukraine, and didn’t even know Russia had already invaded as he was running for president? This snowflake is something else.

    Brennan always seemed a decent guy to me …so did Obama. But both seem either clueless or disingenuous when talking about how much of what is fucked up in Syria and in our relations to Russia/Ukraine is due to our hapless meddling in places where we can do no good for either ourselves or the natives (which we often have comically come to refer to as “insurgents”.) It is not that we should have done more Mr Brennan, we should have come home …we should have butted out.

    Maybe they just didn’t have the balls to stand up to the warmongers in their own organizations.

    Anyway, it is good that after eight years these guys are retiring from the bubble.

    Mr Trump, thank you for standing up to the new cold war warmongers. But Donald, you do not have to respond to Rosie, Meryl, or other trolls. Yes, yes, your businesses are great and your penis is just fine. Now try to focus on presidential stuff.

    Brennan is the CIA chief in an administration that is conducting war in 8 nations.

    You’re an idiot.

        Neither of them are ‘good guys’, no matter how likeable they seem in public. They both work against American interests, for a singular goal of one world government — corporate sponsored slavery of the masses.

          When I post on your forum and elsewhere, I am attempting to convince the unconvinced. To convince, you must start by not alienating. I said “seemed” a decent guy. Seems decent but….. Your agenda is likely different than mine.

          Anyway, we’re in five or six wars by my count. All of them undeclared and illegal. Reportedly, we have special operators in about 138 countries — so I guess we can use any number between 5 and 138. And we dropped well over 26,000 bombs in the last year of the Nobel peace prize winner’s presidency.

          Liberals need to be drawn in to confront what they are supporting.

            I’ve been doing this since 2002. You will never convince anyone of anything. These people are like savages and only respect blunt force kicks in the head.

          Yes, blunt force kicks in the head really convince people of things– that is, to kick back. Kicking people can not turn Right Wing lies into truths.

          Ferd, you do have a point about all the wars we are in. And we will get into more with Trump, and then Pence, than Obama ever dreamed of being in. Mark my words. Just because Obama is less than perfect does not mean that Trump will make a good president. 69% of his statements checked by politifact have been lies. He’s just a serial liar– not the savior of the country.

    Remember, Brennan was Saudi station chief leading up to 9/11, then worked under Tenet through 9/11. He is on record saying American families should not be allowed to sue Saud and also said the missing 28 pages in the 9/11 report prove they did nothing wrong.

    He’s a Saudi shill.
