Once upon a time, Americans could count on the directors of the CIA and the FBI to stay above the political fray and serve the nation.
No longer.
Former FBI Director James Comey, fired from his post because he was completely incompetent, is traveling the country on a book tour, slamming President Trump at every turn. And former CIA Director John Brennan is now threatening the top Republicans in the House and Senate, Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. Paul Ryan.
"Senator McConnell & Speaker Ryan: If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. You do a great disservice to our Nation & the Republican Party if you continue to enable Mr. Trump’s self-serving actions," Brennan said on Twitter on Sunday, targeting the message to Trump.
Trump took to Twitter to respond:
“John Brennan is panicking. He has disgraced himself, he has disgraced the Country, he has disgraced the entire Intelligence Community. He is the one man who is largely responsible for the destruction of American’s faith in the Intelligence Community and in some people at the...top of the FBI. Brennan started this entire debacle about President Trump. We now know that Brennan had detailed knowledge of the (phony) Dossier...he knows about the Dossier, he denies knowledge of the Dossier, he briefs the Gang of 8 on the Hill about the Dossier, which....they then used to start an investigation about Trump. It is that simple. This guy is the genesis of this whole Debacle. This was a Political hit job, this was not an Intelligence Investigation. Brennan has disgraced himself, he’s worried about staying out of Jail.”
Trump sourced the comments to Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and current Florida congressional candidate. On "Fox and Friends,"
Bongino said his comments are based on an investigation he's been doing for a new book.
On Brennan, Bongino said, "He just didn't like Donald Trump, but got information through unofficial channels, through people who were involved with British intelligence. They were basically using unofficial channels... to launder information, like you would launder money. Because if they put it through official channels, something would've happened. You know what that one thing is? They would have had to verify the information before they used it and they didn't want to because this was a political hit job. This was not an intelligence investigation."
Asked who else knew about this, Bongino said James Clapper, Obama's director of National Intelligence, Obama's Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and "of course Comey knew what was going on in this."
"There was a very small working group of people who were involved in this political hit job on Donald Trump. ... Here's the problem," Bongino said. "The reason Brennan's panicking and a lot of others have gone silent is they're not just worried about reputational harm — Brennan's disgraced himself, he knows history's not going to be kind to him — they're worried about staying out of jail.
"There were criminal leaks here — criminal leaks, felonious criminal leaks," Bongino said.
Trump also implied that former president Barack Obama knows more about the whole debacle.

Blog Author's Comments: Most if not all of Brennan's tweets contain veiled warnings or not so veiled threats against Americans. Is that the kind of person we really want in charge of the CIA? Apparently, Obama did. And as long as President Trump remains in power this will go on and on. The Obama administration was the most corrupt in history and the deep state leftovers are fighting to remove the Trump administration. Yet no one from the deep state has been charged with anything, leakers leak, and nothing happens.
Hillary is guilty of numerous crimes and is walking free, and also Loretta Lynch. Obama is still pulling the strings and nothing is reported about him by the mainstream media, surprise. The Department of Justice is refusing to deliver subpoenaed information. We are learning that the Trump Campaign was under surveillance, to give Hillary an advantage during the campaign, to know what Trump was planning, doing and thinking so she could frame her answers and statements accordingly. Now Giuliani who said he could actually do something concerning Special Counsel Mueller, is now saying Sept 1 is when Mueller will have completed his investigation? It is very difficult to watch the nothingness of it all.
