When the heads of the IC speak out

First James Clapper (former DNI) went on CNN with this quote during an interview:

I think this past weekend is illustrative of what a great case officer Vladimir Putin is. He knows how to handle an asset, and that’s what he’s doing with the president … You have to remember Putin’s background. He’s a KGB officer. That’s what they do. They recruit assets. And I think some of that experience and instincts of Putin has come into play here in his managing of a pretty important account for him, if I could use that term, with our president.

Today, John Brennan (former DCI from 2013 to 2017) tweeted this:


Pissing off the national intelligence community has been a fruitful political tactic since the twenty-third of never.

The judicial branch is headed 5 - 4 in favor of Republicons too. They have complete control of this autocracy. We the people are without representation.
