Recall, President Trump revoked the security clearances of the 51 intel officials who signed the letter linking the Hunter Biden laptop with “Russian disinformation.”
The President’s action has elicited a response from Obama CIA director John Brennan, who charged that Trump’s “bizarre” order misrepresented the letter.
This from frontpagemag.com.
However, Trump’s act did not misrepresent “the letter,” and Brennan’s backlash may prove to be a useful tool for the prosecution.
The October 2020 letter said the 51 intel vets were:
[D]eeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case [and] if we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this. (And so on, a regurgitation of the Russia Hoax from 2016.)
Some of the signatories were open supporters of the Biden campaign, and in the final presidential debate with Trump, Biden said:
[T]here are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this, he’s accusing me of, is a Russian plan.
The signatories included former CIA directors and acting directors Leon Panetta, Gen. Michael Hayden, John McLaughlin, Michael Morell and John Brennan.
NOTE: Brennan was the CIA director from 2013 to 2017, who never should have been hired in the first place.
FURTHER: In 1976, John Brennan rejected democrat communist/globalist Jimmy Carter, Republican Gerald Ford, and several others including Socialist Party USA candidate Frank Zeidler. Brennan cast his vote for the Stalinist Gus Hall of the Communist Party USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR. So even if Brennan was not a CPUSA member, the CIA should have rejected him as a matter of common sense. Duly hired in 1980, Brennan rose through the ranks and in 2013 composite character president Obama picked him to run the powerful spy agency.
In 2020 Brennan published Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies at Home and Abroad. Like Obama, Brennan believed that Islamic jihad is “a holy struggle in pursuit of a moral goal” and has nothing to do with violence and terrorist attacks. President Trump, by contrast, not only called out “radical Islamic terrorism” but in 2019 took out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, “the founder and leader of ISIS, the most ruthless and violent terror organization anywhere in the world.”
In early 2020, Trump took out Iran’s Qasem Soleimani, “the number-one terrorist anywhere in the world.” Neither terrorist is mentioned in Undaunted but Trump’s takedowns surely infuriated Brennan, “who had another policy beef with his home-front enemy.”
Brennan said he always regarded the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), “to be one of the Obama Administration’s crowning achievements.” President Trump took the United States out of the Iran deal which, he contended, “failed to protect America’s national security interests” and:
[E]nriched the Iranian regime and enabled its malign behavior, while at best delaying its ability to pursue nuclear weapons and allowing it to preserve nuclear research and development.
Brennan blasts the “evil despicable and vile” Donald Trump, a “disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history,” but there was more to it than rhetoric. According to Brennan, “Crossfire Hurricane,” a key cog in the Russia Hoax, was “an ongoing and very sensitive operation.”
This plays into the current battle for control of the CIA.
As Director of National Intelligence (DNI), duly confirmed by the Senate, John Ratcliffe fielded requests for material on “Crossfire Hurricane,” one of the covert operations against candidate and President Trump, who picked Ratcliffe to head the CIA. The Left mounted a charge led by Sen. Chris Murphy (C/G-CT) who claimed last July:
Donald Trump presents an existential threat to democracy. He has advertised he is going to transition this country from a democracy to a dictatorship.
According to Murphy:
Mr. Ratcliffe showed a very troubling propensity to play politics with sensitive intelligence.
Nothing about ‘Crossfire Hurricane,’ the ‘ongoing and sensitive’ covert operation against Trump, [was] part of a broader campaign.
The contention of former CIA analyst John Gentry in Neutering the CIA: Why U.S. Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-Term Consequences was:
Some IC [Intelligence Community] agencies that triggered the attacks on Trump remain intact, available for reactivation in the event of another serious candidacy by Trump or the election of another Republican president.
Those consequences are now on full display from those who launched them in the first place.
On Thursday, the Senate confirmed John Ratcliffe by a 74-25 vote. The Trump pick must now redeploy the CIA against America’s enemies, not the people who want the nation to be great. President Trump wants to declassify secret files on the JFK and Martin Luther King assassinations, promising that “everything will be revealed.”
Ratcliffe might also unearth the full truth on “Crossfire Hurricane” and expose what the CIA knew about China’s surveillance balloon that in 2023 overflew most of the nation, including strategic military bases. The people have a right to know.
Final thoughts: Of course, too, We the People are eagerly awaiting the Ultimate Accountability to commence. And we expect John Brennan will be on the list of those who are charged with treason.
