Former CIA Director John Brennan: Once a Political Hack, Always a Political Hack?

“If MSNBC contributor John Brennan is seeking a place in the history books for his contributions to the U.S. government, he may be surprised to learn historians will remember him as a political skunk of the first order who used language befitting an organized crime lieutenant to describe a duly elected President of the United States.” – Paul Randolph Edstone, former police intelligence officer

During his tenure as the Director of Central Intelligence (the true title given to the top spy), John Brennan entered the cauldron of the CIA’s descent into political corruption within the Obama administration as was planned by the Deep State. However, the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee — a part of the government that was supposed to be beyond party politics — demanded an investigation of George W. Bush’s allowed interrogation tactics.

In December 2014, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report claiming the interrogation methods used by the CIA in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks were “brutal and far worse” than the agency had represented to lawmakers. Many working in the intelligence community, the military complex and in law enforcement said the report was heavy on denigrating the CIA and the war on Islamic terrorism under President George W. Bush, but light on facts to back up the assertions.

Through it all, President Obama was well-pleased with his CIA director. “In John Brennan the men and women of the CIA will have the leadership of our nation’s most skilled intelligence professionals,” said Obama. “That unique combination of smarts and strength that he claims comes from growing up in New Jersey.”

But not everyone was enthusiastic about Brennan being the nation’s CIA chief. (Read more about the 2010 calls for his resignation at Fox News here.)

“Mr. Brennan is, at best, willfully blind to the threat posed to homeland and national security of the United States by those who adhere to Shariah law,” said Tom Trento, director of Florida Security Council, who has been critical of Brennan’s service in the Obama White House.

Some of the nation’s top intelligence, military, national security and law enforcement experts once loudly called for Homeland Security Advisor John Brennan to resign from his post or for President Barack Obama to fire Brennan from his White House staff. Instead, Obama named him to replace another political hack and Clinton sycophant Leon Panetta.

During a press conference in September 2010 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on Thursday, respected experts, including officials from the Florida Security Council, told reporters that because of Brennan’s adherence to the politically-correct orthodoxy that permeates the Obama administration the U.S. government is being prevented from identifying, understanding and countering radical Muslims and their threat of imposing Sharia law.

Brennan was part of the White House clique that included Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, and others who were never elected by the voters and yet basically ran the United States government.

Frank Gaffney, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense during the Reagan administration, and others claim that Brennan dismissed Sharia even though evidence exists that it’s a supremacist, totalitarian legal doctrine that leads to terrorism, torture, abuse of women and young girls, and other horrors.

A major piece of evidence that points to the dangers associated with Brennan’s failure to perform his primary function – to know the enemy and its threat doctrine – came to light when analysts at the Florida Security Council discovered that a known Hamas operative and unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history (Holy Land Foundation), Sheik Kifah Mustapha,participated in a six-week-long, government-sponsored “Citizens Academy” hosted by the FBI as part of its outreach to the Muslim community.

During the six-week FBI program, Mustapha – a man tied to an officially designated terrorist organization – was escorted into the top secret National Counterterrorism Center and other secure government facilities, including the FBI National Academy located on the Quantico, Virginia U.S. Marine Base.

Terrorism expert Steve Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, exposed Mustapha’s appointment in Illinois to a post as a State Police chaplain. However, according to Illinois officials, the appointment was revoked in spite of the protests of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan must resign his post immediately,” said Mr. Gaffney, whose Center for Security Policy released a report entitled, Shariah: The Threat to America.

“Mr. Brennan is, at best, willfully blind to the threat posed to the homeland and national security of the United States by those who adhere to shariah. In the wake of this recent episode at the National Counterterrorism Center, in which the FBI gave a guided tour of one of our most sensitive counter-terrorism facilities to a known Hamas operative, it is clear that the cluelessness fostered by Mr. Brennan is causing an empowering of the wrong sorts of Muslims in America – and endangering the American people,” said Gaffney to reporters.
