He basically tells Brennan that he has no real in the field intelligence experience. He's just a political hack that has overseen some of the worst foreign policy blunders in a long time. Oh - and he is on the NBC and MSNBC payroll.

Read the whole thing at the link. Enjoy...

Stop Pretending

Dear Mr. Brennan,

I understand that you are a political opponent of the current President of the United States. I understand that you are an American citizen, and you have the right to freedom of speech.

...
I implore you, however to cease and desist from continuing to attempt to portray yourself in the public media as some sort of impartial critic concerned only with the fate of the republic.

...
You were never a spy. You were never a case officer. You never ran operations or recruited sources or worked the streets abroad. You have no idea whatsoever of the true nature of the business of human intelligence. You have never been in harm's way. You have never heard a shot fired in anger.

...
All of your commentary in the public sphere is on behalf of your political patrons. It is no more impartial analysis then would be the comments of a paid press spokesman or attorney. You are speaking each and every time directly on behalf of political forces hostile to this president. You are, in fact, currently on the payroll of both NBC and MSNBC, two of the networks most vocally opposed to President Trump and his agenda.

...
The extent to which you are tied directly to the Clintons, Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is clearly evident in the emotional nature of your recent commentary. Ever since this president was elected there has been a concerted effort to delegitimize him and destabilize him. This has been an unprecedented attempt to undermine the stability of the republic in order to achieve partisan political advantage. You and your patrons have been complicit in this effort and at its very heart. Now as the Mueller investigation collapses of its own weight and the extent of this conspiracy is beginning to become clear you are in evident panic. You should be.



Again - former CIA Intelligence Officer

Total smackdown... and well deserved.

I can see Brennon's response now.

But I'm a communist, what else am I supposed to do ?

Rand Paul was supposed to be having a discussion with Trump today on that subject.

Funny I don't see the letter writer's name mentioned.


Aren't unnamed sources what Trump generally terms Fake News! ?

Oh look - An "open letter" written by a conservative former CIA Officer, bashing a left-leaning liberal former CIA Chief.

It's an opinion piece, nothing more. Holds no weight and means nothing.

AND Magazine? Never heard of it.

Good catch. There is no author. Could have been written by Hannity or some other Trump flunky.

The author of the letter is clearly pointed out in the OP link as Charles Faddis.

Here is another link.
