CIA Director John Brennan criticized Attorney General Bill Barr for his comment about “spying” on the Trump campaign in 2016 during today’s big congressional hearing.

He defended the actions of U.S. intel agencies and told Chris Matthews, “I was very disappointed in what Attorney General Barr said today about spying when he was referring to the investigation that was predicated certainly and that the FBI was trying to understand exactly what the Russians were doing.”

“U.S. Intelligence agencies were spying against foreign adversaries so that we can understand the threat to our national security,” Brennan said. “But for the attorney general to imply or to say that there was spying domestically, he knows the language very well and he knows the terminology and he knows what it connotes, which is an extralegal activity taking place.”

Matthews asked if he considers Barr a toady who’s saying what Trump wants to hear.

Brennan said he had ‘higher expectations” for Barr and was not happy about how he “shaped the narrative” regarding the Mueller report.

He even said the testimony today was “very carefully nuanced as a way to try to support Donald Trump’s positions.”

“He acted more like a personal lawyer for Donald Trump today rather than the attorney general,” Brennan added.

He has a right to remain silent.

As expected, Brennan and the sycophants from his side are not to be believed and always want to nuance things to push their legitimacy. He is a pathetic piece of human waste.

Any decent reporter/poli talk show host would have said this to Brennan.

You accused the President for 2.5 years of being a Russian asset committing treason, then said ooops you had 'bad intel' and are now attacking the Attorney General's word.

Brennan should be under the jail.

Brennan openly supported the Nazi Party.................

OK, now that I have your attention, ACTEWALLY, Brennan OPENLY supported the Communist Party.....

Since most Leftys' are TOO FKING STUPID to understand how serious that is, a quick Google of this thing called "history" will show that the Communists raped, tortured, imprisoned and murdered more people than the Nazis ever dreamed....

Brennan should have been hanged long ago, so the whining of a traitor is unimpressive...

Maybe that’s what Nixon’s “plumbers” were trying to do—-protect the country by spying on a foreign entity at the DNC headquarters ........

Hey Brennan, I think Barr knows the definition of spying just fine. Do you know the nuanced definition of treason?

You know, those times you got on TV and accused THE PRESIDENT of treason. Dont be mad when everyone finds out you’re a treasonous POS.

It is unreal how Brennan is suddenly not screaming like a hack but trying to form diplomatic professional words like he is a trusted professional. He said the POTUS committed treason, then that he got bad intel.

Wait he got a hack comment in the end (I am listening to the video of Brennan and Matthews as I type this)

Brennan just said, "Donald Trump and his cronies are afraid what is in the Mueller Report"

He refuses to call him President and it is a hyper partisan remark for an ex Dir of spooks.
