In his mind, nothing is treasonous, as long as you are leftist.<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The media talks endlessly about \u201cnorms,\u201d then lionizes leftists who shatter them. John Brennan is a beneficiary of this gross hypocrisy. The more he engages in monstrously abnormal and irresponsible behavior for a former CIA director, the more the media builds him up.<\/em><\/p>\n

Imagine a former CIA director under a Democratic president calling for members of the executive branch to defy his lawful directives, blithely spreading grave charges against him without evidence, and calling on the \u201ccountry\u201d to \u201cdefeat\u201d him. The media would treat that figure as a dangerous weirdo. But Brennan has done all of that and more, and it has only enhanced his appeal in the eyes of the media.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA Spymaster Steps Out of the Shadows<\/a>\u201d\u2014that\u2019s the\u00a0New York Times\u2019s idea of a hard-hitting take on a former CIA director who is calling in effect for insurrection. In the first paragraph of this essentially friendly, punch-pulling profile, we learn that Brennan refuses to recognize Trump as a duly elected president:<\/em><\/p>\n

A few days before, Brennan wrote an op-ed calling Trump \u201ca snake-oil salesman.\u201d The paper\u2019s editors tried to persuade Brennan to use the word \u201cpresident,\u201d but Brennan refused. \u201cI said no, I\u2019m not going to refer to him as \u2018president,\u2019\u201d Brennan told me. \u201cBecause he doesn\u2019t deserve that, in my mind. Yes, he won the most electoral votes. But I think he has demonstrated, over and over again, that he is unfit to carry out the responsibilities of that office.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Naturally, the\u00a0Times\u00a0doesn\u2019t find it troubling that a former CIA director would throw such a juvenile snit. Yet it is one of the few revealing tidbits in the piece and it captures Brennan\u2019s low, demagogic complex: he is a political hack who never outgrew his revolutionary youth and is trying to rekindle it through a coup against Trump<\/em>.<\/p>\n
