Claims made by former FBI Director James Comey in his upcoming book and a new interview caused President Trump to respond this way on Twitter:
James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and…..

….untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!

Those tweets set off frequent Trump critic and former CIA Director John Brennan, who delivered another dramatic sounding warning to the president:
Your kakistocracy is collapsing after its lamentable journey. As the greatest Nation history has known, we have the opportunity to emerge from this nightmare stronger & more committed to ensuring a better life for all Americans, including those you have so tragically deceived. https://t.co/eC6LATH2Gd

Consider Brennan NOT a fan of Trump:

This guy definitely wasn’t partisan when he was the director of the CIA. No, sir. https://t.co/7BSsyq0cIB

Brennan should leave himself a little room for extra drama instead of dialing it up to eleven every time.
