'Operational mind of an earthworm': Former CIA officer slams 'hack' John Brennan's 'high-road tweets'

As Twitchy has reported, former CIA director and Resistance darling John Brennan was triggered by President Trump’s demand that the Justice Department look into whether the FBI infiltrated or surveilled the Trump campaign, and tweeted that Republican congressional leadership would “bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy” if they didn’t move to stop him.

Plenty of people answered Brennan’s tweet, including former CIA official Bryan Dean Wright, who laid into Brennan as a “political hack.”

Once the #FBI #IGReport is public, the sword of justice will begin swinging. You & the people who dishonored our proud services will not escape. Your protests will then be seen for what they are: a PR campaign designed to incite panic & sow doubt.

Your day of judgment is coming https://t.co/jgw7J66QAT

Boom.

Were you at the CIA during Brennan’s tenure?

Yes, I worked w/ @JohnBrennan. We viewed him as a political hack w/ the operational mind of an earthworm. (He once said the CIA “doesn’t steal secrets.” Sums up his intellect nicely)

His day of judgment is coming. And he knows it. His high-road tweets are an act. Justice awaits. https://t.co/GN4ysnbmQo

The “operational mind of an earthworm?” Damn.

Everyone I know who worked w/ @JohnBrennan has the same view – a political hack who had his personal ambition as his only core value – he kept CIA from doing it's job to spy on foreign threats & used @CIA as part of the @BarackObama WH effort to target domestic political enemies https://t.co/CizWSlZAtB

“I worked for Brennan down-range. One of the worst 6 months of my life. Total 100% political hack. Never underestimate a bureaucrat scorned. His word was not taken seriously at a pre-campaign meeting and he was not consulted further. End of story, they thought.”

Yeah, a lot of GS management could be described this way. After draining the swamp, we need to power wash the walls to get the stench out. After 17 years at 26 Fed, NYC, I know of what @BryanDeanWright speaks. Indict Brennan and Clapper, see who flips first. https://t.co/7UUf9He8kJ

Objection:

I thought reason and moderation was what @BryanDeanWright was about. Now I see “swords of justice” and earthworm in other tweets. There’s better, less damaging, more engaging ways of making arguments. But they won’t get 6k retweets.

Men like @JohnBrennan & @Comey have violated their oaths and wrapped their treachery in high minded values that they do not possess. When faced w/ their assaults, our restraint is replaced by a passion for justice.

These men must be held to account. Our democracy depends on it. https://t.co/9KtnNcoOy2
