I remember John Brennan and how he reacted after the Summit President Trump had with Vladimir Putin. All indications from those directly involved indicated that Summit went well.

We could have built on this. This was a diplomatic initiative we desperately needed to succeed. Painstaking effort went into doing this.

After the successful Summit then almost immediately came Mr. Brennan's bizarre rant essentially accusing the President of treason and to make matters worse it was amplified by the media. By his actions he not only upended a very meticulous diplomatic effort that good men and women had worked wirelessly to out together that had been bearing positive fruit but he made matters worse than they were before these good people had started!!

The best I can say about him is he is like an impudent spoiled brat childlike man who can't resist the urge to act out when he doesn't get his and it doesn't matter how many Americans get hurt as he must have his way!! Such people should be nowhere near positions of power and influence and this is the best case scenario. Any other description of him would be far more critical of him. He definitely needs to be investigated.
