It’s not as if anyone was asking for former CIA Director John Brennan to offer his take on current events, but no one was asking for James Comey’s, either, and we still got it. So basically, a tweet like this was inevitable:
The damage being inflicted by @realDonaldTrump on our national conscience & our government is tragic.
Members of Congress & staffers who defend & misrepresent his indefensible actions are telling Americans it’s ok to be dishonest, unethical, & corrupt.
How far we have fallen.

It’s easy for Brennan to sit up there on his high horse when he’s so obviously willing to overlook his own history of corruption. His record is nothing to be proud of. Donald Trump’s no angel, to be sure, but what we’re looking at here is a pretty classic case of projection.
You've got some nerve……

You know that you’re John Brennan right? https://t.co/HtzxE30QuC

We’ve seen what you’ve done. Maybe STFU. https://t.co/ubjisS8irp

I worked for you at CIA. You're dishonest and corrupt. You've destroyed the agency that I loved and served for 23 years.
I swear to you: I will attend your trial and sentencing. That day is coming. https://t.co/XSJPpDzOSc

Bad government actors like John Brennan set the stage for Donald Trump to come along. Brennan’s in no position to be shaming Trump or anyone else for “how far we have fallen.”
