Fmr. CIA Director: Speaking Out To 'Shake Some Sense' Into People Around Trump | MTP Daily | MSNBC

[antonystringfellow]

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

― Marcus Tullius Cicero

do solemnly swear to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic."

I took said those words as part of my oath of enlistment into the United States Marine Corps on 3 November 1976. Many others have as well, those who hold political office in this country repeat a similar oath when being sworn in. What I witnessed during trumps playdate with Vladimir Putin was a complete contradiction of that oath.

[talktolukek]

Amazing Trump can call this life long government worker a bad guy and totally incapable of calling Putin the same

[liz]

Mr. Brennan, thank goodness for free speech.

[adjwindu]

Sooo. The former CIA director is a bad person but Putin is not. Yeah...we get it trump.

[Nomatternow]

America needs to deal directly with Trump before he sends the US down the crapper. Soon.

[luvvinallmusik]

A meeting w 4 people & TRUMP'S the only one that doesn't speak Russian. And the The US is supposed 2 believe what Trump said transacted?! Uh, nope.😒😐

[GlobalPenguin]

John Brennan is an American patriot. We salute you

[wilbertjamodovar]

Facebook needs to pay a price. Enabling Russian access into our homes. Sold our values to the Russian. 5 Billion in fine will be a good start.

[philanthropical]

Criticizing the president does not constitute treason except maybe in North Korea or Russia

[hukabuktx]

This thing goes way beyond a pptape. Given the ignorance of his base and corruption of GOP, the pptape would have no affect.

[PurpleRain]

You see trump's demeanor change in that clip when he talks about Brennan or other US citizens he has no problem letting them have it. But standing next to Putin he was so timid and intimidated.

[krasniusha]

If trump calls Brennan a bad person, I am convinced that Brennan is a very good person.

[granifulano]

Definition of Collusion: secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose. Wasn't the private meeting in it's very essence ...collusion. After all, secret and private are very closely related.

Example sentence: He was acting in collusion with the enemy

[randalldavis]

Brennan was just called a bad man by Trump.That is a high honor.

[Freespirit]

Former CIA Director John Brennan is right on point about Donald Trump!

[dianeowen]

Poor little trump....stomps his feet and pouts calling Brennan "a very bad person". One of them is definitely a bad person...and it's not John Brennan.

[Dwightinho]

I truly appreciate this man. How refreshing to listen to someone with a good head on his shoulders. As opposed to the one playing President.

[nancyfreeman]

You can call congress switchboard and leave a message what you think they should do.202 224 3121.don t give up!!!

[jnmaher]

Brennan should go talk directly with the leaders of the GOP. Knock on their doors, please.
