1. Kick

[MiniMe]

2. How many million did they spend on the Clinton Witch Hunt back in the 90's?

I think it was over 200 million for Whitewater and Ken Starr

[calimary]

9. I think it was something around 70 million. Still ridiculously high. And at least four years.

So I don't mind if Mueller keeps digging, or Schiff keeps digging, or Nagler keeps digging, or Waters keeps digging, or whoever it is - or how long they keep digging into trump & comp. Hey, to all those like donald who whine about witch-hunts - you didn't have any problem at all when Ken Starr was doing it.

[MiniMe]

13. Yup, and that was truly a witch hunt!

They spent 4 years and found nothing

[TxVietVet]

27. $54M to find out

that Bill Clinton got a blow job. No telling how much they wasted trying to railroad Hillary.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

29. Benghazi !!!!!!!!!!!!

[groundloop]

3. The Russian bots and trumpsters are ripping Brennan a new one in the replies to this.

[TwistOneUp]

22. Who cares? nt

[shadowmayor]

4. Nope - this guy deserves no respect

Clapper is a goddamned war criminal who led us into the war in Iraq. He lied to Congress about spying on Democratic Senators and just because he's going after herr drumpf doesn't mean I will ever have any respect for this guy. He should be in jail awaiting trial for crimes against humanity.

[denbot]

5. I was unaware Brennan was spelled C-L-A-P-P-E-R

Good to know..🤡

[shadowmayor]

10. My bad

Got my war criminals mixed up - lock 'em both up I say!

[whathehell]

12. On what basis do you label Brennan a "War Criminal"?

: I'd suggest you document so serious an allegation.

[shadowmayor]

14. Torture

And spying on the Senate for starters. How many innocent kids did he kill with his drones?

[whathehell]

15. He's an Obama appointee..

and PBO was okay with those drones... Do you consider him a war criminal too?

[Progressive dog]

25. I'm waiting for your reply to whathehell

and I'd also like to know where your spying on the Senate claim came from.

31. The United States of Amnesia

Folks,

I think you missed what I was implying here. Hell if Satan himself went after trump, that would be fine with me. But I wouldn't forget who the devil was. Too many seem to applaud folks simply for blasting the fraudulent interloper in the white house. But I don't hold many of these people in any kind of high regard - including Brennan, Clapper, Michael Hayden, and any number of generals leading our troops in our endless wars of slaughter. The fact that President Obama picked this guy doesn't wipe the slate clean. He may have had many reasons to appoint him, but so what? He is still a friggin' criminal.

When he lied about spying on the Senate offices and then got caught, I remember folks here being quite upset about it. But in this non-stop shit-storm news cycle world we live in, it's sometimes hard to remember what actually happened a few years ago.

He also served under Clinton, lil' bush as well in high level positions. He was George "slam dunk" Tenet's chief of staff - one of the chief assholes who helped lead America into an illegal war in Iraq. I should know - I spent OIF3 in a shit hole called Abu Ghraib.

So no - this isn't info wars, and I don't appreciate the deprecation in the comments below.

From the NY Times July 31, 2014

WASHINGTON — An internal investigation by the C.I.A. has found that its officers penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee in preparing its damning report on the C.I.A.’s detention and interrogation program.

The report by the agency’s inspector general also found that C.I.A. officers read the emails of the Senate investigators and sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department based on false information, according to a summary of findings made public on Thursday. One official with knowledge of the report’s conclusions said the investigation also discovered that the officers created a false online identity to gain access on more than one occasion to computers used by the committee staff.

And when questioned about the CIA spying on our elected officials inside the United States, Brennan lied.

[Progressive dog]

33. I got what you were implying

You blame Brennan for what some employees of the CIA did. That seems rather unfair to me. That's after you confused Brennan with Clapper.
BTW It was not proven that Brennan lied about the spying. He had the IG investigate the spying. The Senators calling for his resignation called it a failure of leadership, not a lie.

[shadowmayor]

34. Don't understand

Why you would believe him at all. And blaming the underlings is weak. You think the top dogs at the CIA were plausibly unaware they were spying on the Senate?

[Progressive dog]

36. Sure, Brennan ran an agency with more than 20 thousand employees

and he was supposed to know exactly what they were doing. He has about 1 second per day to monitor each one.
Then, when he is informed of what some employees may be doing, he gives the info to the IG and the IG investigates, but somehow you still blame the head of the agency--the one who ordered the investigation--in spite of the actual findings of the investigation.

[shadowmayor]

37. Sure

Because the CIA spying inside the United States , in fact on the Senate was just an every day, run of the mill activity

[Progressive dog]

38. You should look for actual evidence

that Brennan had a role in the spying. Accusing someone of crimes after he was investigated and not charged should not become an every day run of the mill activity.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

30. Does this look like InfoWars to you ?

[japple]

18. Maybe you could mansplain it to us we could all understand.

[shadowmayor]

32. No need to be like that

See my reply above. I haven't forgotten who these people are, nor what they did.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I say this same thing

every night when I go to sleep. It releases my frustrations. I hope I live long enough to see it (bad health).

[allgood33]

7. 45 keeps going back to the Clinton Foundation. Why?

That Foundation has been examined over and over by every charity watchdog group and found to be one of the best with respect to program vs overhead, transparency and goal achieved. Compared to 45's fake Foundation it's A+++

8. I saw that elsewhere earlier..

I was so Thankful for John Brennen's Tweet to the SPOS!

Perfect! Gracias nmgaucho

11. Trump knows he's got Whitaker in place to block Mueller's indictments

and Kavanaugh to protect him from any investigations -- I bet even one by the House. And he can always pardon himself (again, with Kavanaugh's approval). He feels like he's in the catbird seat.

We'll see.

[smirkymonkey]

16. K&R

[niyad]

17. go back to the Justice Dept?

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. Not at all on topic, but what's up with tweets thewe days?

Lately, every single one is bizarrely formatted - one LONG vertical column of single characters. Annoying as hell to read, and I don't like skipping something that a DUer has thought significant enough to post.

[Honeycombe8]

20. He's criticizing the Justice Dept and our legal system....again. Corrupt evil dictator. nt

[TwistOneUp]

21. OMG This is fantastic! Thank You, John Brennan! nt

[ffr]

23. Reassuring that someone in the intelligence community feels this strongly.

Gives me hope.

[True Dough]

24. I'm glad this is so adversarial

It's us versus them. The good guys gotta win. They gotta!

[tymorial]

26. Clinton and the emails jesus christ

He keeps going to that well hoping it gives him drink but it was filled in, knocked down, paved over and an aging shopping mall sits on the spot... yet he still goes there. He is an idiot

[mr_lebowski]

28. He means 'the DNC server that was supposedly hacked by Russia'.

Nevermind that DNC provided everything the FBI asked for WRT to the Servers he's talking about.

He constantly waves around 'where's the DNC Server' like it's a magical talisman. He does so simply because the DNC didn't physically hand the hacked Servers over ... but that's because the FBI never asked the DNC for them, they asked for IMAGES, i.e. exact copies of what was ON the computers, which IS, for all practical purposes 'the Server'. The hardware itself would provide absolutely no investigatory value above that of the Images of the what's on the servers Hard Drives.

FBI long ago confirmed complete cooperation by the DNC with all their requests, but Trumpie thinks he 'has something', I'm sure because Hannity probably harps on it all the time. Neither of them understand jack shit about computers for one thing but even if they did, they don't care. They know the Faux-Nooz knuckle-draggers of the Trump Cult will buy into this 'never handed over the servers' as being indicative of some skull-duggery by the DNC, because they're a bunch of fucking morons, living in a fantasy-world.

[blitzen]

35. Methinks Brennan knows/has known everything, hence...

the unqualified confidence of his forecast concerning Trump's dismal fate.
