As Twitchy readers know, John Brennan lost his shiznit about Trump’s demand that the DOJ ‘look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump campaign for political purposes’ during the Obama administration.
In case you missed his obvious distress:
Senator McConnell & Speaker Ryan: If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. You do a great disservice to our Nation & the Republican Party if you continue to enable Mr. Trump’s self-serving actions. https://t.co/uAhgL6wfIC

Interesting that Sharyl Attkisson called out the tweet, and her reaction is not unlike many others.
Stranger and stranger. https://t.co/qr8sKSRcOj

Why would Brennan be so angry with GOP leadership over Trump looking for answers as to whether or not the Obama administration was spying on his campaign, perhaps in an effort to interfere with the election? You’d think someone so concerned about ‘doing harm’ to our so-called Democracy would want to know if a sitting president was abusing his authority and power to target a candidate.
Honestly, Sharyl’s entire timeline would likely scare the crap out of Brennan if he was that upset over Trump simply demanding the DOJ investigate whether or not the Obama administration was spying on him.
Check this out:
Just an interesting FYI fact: There are circumstances under which govt. officials have pre-granted immunity, permission to lie under oath, and pre-constructed cover stories to tell if their operations are exposed.

Things that make you go hmmmmm …
Is anyone investigating government officials who redacted information in public documents we own… Claiming it was for national security reasons… When it turned out just to be embarrassing?

Probably not.
But they should be.
Our favorite though is when people accuse her of being a conspiracy theorist.
#1 Discrediting by claiming "conspiracy" talk is a propaganda tactic begun by the CIA. (I wrote of this in The Smear if you're interested.) #2 I haven't myself called many things "conspiracies" in my reporting–if ever. (cont)

But wait, there’s more.
#3 In fact, though, conspiracies are exceedingly common. It simply means two or more people planned it. By definition: Bonnie & Clyde– Conspiracy. Mafia– Conspiracy. Terrorist attack if more than one person planned it– Conspiracy. #GetEducated
