Ex-CIA Director John Brennan: Ouster of spy chief a 'virtual decapitation' of intelligence

Former CIA director John Brennan said he is worried about the intelligence community following the ouster of acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire.
President Trump announced on Wednesday that Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, would replace Maguire as acting DNI. Critics say he lacks sufficient intelligence experience and is too close to Trump.
In a Friday morning appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Brennan called the personnel move "a virtual decapitation of the intelligence community" and suggested that intelligence professionals should "see this as yet one more example that they are not being allowed to do their job."
Brennan, who worked under three Democratic and three Republican administrations, also claimed the Trump administration does not "want the intelligence community to do its work — to the executive branch as well as to the legislative branch. But what we’re seeing now is such an anomaly, such an aberration from what we have seen in the past, about the importance of the independence of the intelligence community."

Good.
If Brennan hates it, it must be good for America.

I don't see anything in there about Brennan being hauled off to prison. Very unsatisfying.

This.
If Brennan is screaming about how bad it is, it must have been one of his moles.

Removing the man who heads the intelligence community is a virtual removal of the head of the intelligence community.
Uh, yeah.

He was out March 12th. I am not a smart man, but , in 17 days, there had to be someone new.
Why is he protesting so much?

Every day this traitorous motherfricker is breathing air is another day without justice being served.

Once again, AggieHank is wrong. The man's time runs out on March 11th. By statute, he was leaving. He wasn't pushed out. Do you libs ever get anything right?

I don't even care about McCabe, Comey, Strzok, and Page at this point. But, I want this guy to pay for running a coup.

I would love to be the one who kicked the chair out from under his feet and watch him swing.

They surely are LIT about Grenell though.
One would think Brennan, who routinely sported an LGBTQ Rainbow Lanyard while working at the CIA, would be celebrating Richard Grenell as the highest-ranking openly gay official in US government history. Seems not to be the case.

Great! The whole Damn intelligence racket, & it is a racket, needs to be dismantled & rebuilt. Shoot the traitors; starting with this Brennan menance.
I'll pay to watch.

I will slightly disagree.
I want Brennan to be fed alive to pigs.
Let that be the response to the coup.
