Trump Quotes Fox News Guest to Trash ‘Disgraced’ John Brennan: ‘He’s Worried About Staying Out of Jail’

by Caleb Ecarma | 9:32 am, May 21st, 2018

President Donald Trump let out a tweetstorm quoting conservative pundit Dan Bongino in his attacks against former CIA Director John Brennan over his involvement in the Russia probe.

Bongino, a thrice-failed GOP congressional candidate now serving as the NRA’s shitty lemonade maker, railed against Brennan on Fox & Friends Monday morning, calling him “disgraced” for overseeing the start of the investigation into the Trump campaign’s Russia ties.

(It’s important to note — as Bongino himself pointed out on Fox & Friends — that the pundit is writing a book on all of this, so his claims are probably best read with the understanding that he’s desperately pining for an eventual Trump Twitter endorsement, as the president has done with a number of other pro-Trump books.)








Along with Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro, Bongino has been one of loudest voices in conservative punditry pushing the theory that the U.S. intelligence community is really a nefarious “deep state” cabal that has long been hellbent on bringing down the Trump campaign, and now presidency.

I guess anyone even tangentially a part of the investigation can expect to be blasted by Der Fuehrer!

This am. My short, fat arthritic fingers and my old brain betray me. That is why I don’t post much. Used to have thousands of posts but they disappeared.

... spilled a left over glass of Mt Dew Throwback by my kitchen sink and then spilled my first cup of coffee out of Mr Coffee. Sigh... I am sure it is due to cognitive dissonance.

8. John Brennan was interviewed

on "60 Minutes" a while ago. He came across as highly intelligent and thoughtful in my view. I remember thinking what a good president HE would make, compared to the orange ass we have in the WH. Brennan commands respect, and I am certain the people who worked for him thought so, too. I truly doubt that any of his co-workers EVER described him as a "f***ing moron" like a couple of tRumps closest aides have described him. They denied it later, but too late, word was already out.

tool used to be a Secret Service agent. He left in May 2011 to run for US Senator for Maryland. Lost handily to Ben Cardin.

........................................

In a short clip promoting the NRA’s big get, Bongino is seen wearing a t-shirt that says “Socialist Tears.” The former cop then begins to confidently put whole, unpeeled lemons into a blender, before starting the machine up with a whir.

“What in God’s name is this nutcase doing,” you may be asking yourself.

Well, according to the NRA, he’s making lemonade.

“When they give you lemons,” a text on the ad reads, “We give you the truth.”
..................................
It looks like Bongino can add “making lemonade” to the growing list of subjects he knows nothing about but can still be invited on Fox & Friends to opine on. As for the NRA’s production team, it’s unclear who approved this ad, and whether they have ever made lemonade.

what he's seen on Faux news. I sincerely doubt he has any idea who John Brennan is.
