Business Insider: The former director of the CIA got into intelligence after his wife urged him to 'get a real job and help pay the bills'

On his way to Fordham University one day in the 1970s, a college student named John Brennan spotted an advertisement in The New York Times for a position in the CIA.

I think he still is a communist at heart (even if he does not dare to vote for them anymore).At least his actions as a civil servant are in line with communism. That is probobly why he so willingly participated in the mass survellance (sorry if the spelling is wrong, swedish is my first language) of American citizens, and has so little respect for the democratically elected president.

With other words a perfect citizen in the old soviet union (and today a modell low rank and file member of the deep state, that tries to undermine the result of Trump's election).

I once had a boyscout troop leader who was on a list of the FBI...perhaps that has made me a vodka drinking comrade
