Dear Members Only: A Letter Back to Twelve Angry CIA Bureaucrats, Swampville, USA

It's Not About Freedom of Speech and You Know It.

CBS: "We feel compelled to respond in the wake of the ill-considered and unprecedented remarks and actions by the White House," the senior officials wrote. "We know John to be an enormously talented, capable and patriotic individual who devoted his entire adult life to the service of this nation."

Dear Club Members,

I read your letter. Thank you so much.

You know what else constitutes "ill-considered and unprecedented remarks and actions by the White House"?

A: Obama's One-Man Nuclear Treaty with Iran.

Every nuclear treaty of our lifetime until then was ratified by the Senate--truly unprecedented. But none of you heroes piped-up when Obama was sending them pallets of cash and uranium. Why is John Brennan's clearance more important to you than Iran? In what possible world?

When Brennan retired in 2006 and opened The Analytics Company, his security clearances allowed the company to break into the State Department's computers to repeatedly access McCain's and Obama's birth certificates, which he somehow leveraged into a directorship.

Odd; I don't remember any of you mentioning it.

Nor did we hear a peep from you when your fellow director John Brennan spied on another branch of government.

Is this what you mean by "patriotic"?

Washington Post: "Brennan’s apology to lawmakers was in sharp contrast to the defiant position he took when the dispute surfaced publicly in March. At the time, he warned that lawmakers would regret accusing the agency of wrongdoing.

“When the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong,” he said.

Brennan was responding to accusations from Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and others that the CIA had secretly removed documents from committee computers and attempted to intimidate investigators by requesting an FBI inquiry of their conduct."...

Hacking into Sen. Feinstein's Senate Committee computers, removing files and threatening investigators with FBI prosecution, then lying until caught. This all sounds so familiar. If that's how he treats friendlies, how do you think he treats the Opposition? The guy probably wiretapped his Mom to find out what he was getting for Christmas.

I won't even go into his bugs in the House cloakroom, wiretaps in the Court chambers or spying on reporters. Since you are all super-spies, I'm sure you can dig it up yourselves.

You have all been as quiet as churchmice about Brennan's spying and Agit-Prop activities in the 2016 election. Is it "service to the nation" to turn the CIA into a wing of the Democratic National Committee?

It begs the question: since you vouch for his actions, did any of you spy on Congress also? Threaten staffers with FBI inquisitions? Lie in your testimony? Did you hire spies to infiltrate American political campaigns, too?

As former directors, you would know that founder President Truman wanted the CIA to remain a non-operational information service. He didn't want the Agency involved in foreign election-tampering, let alone election tampering in America. Yet John Brennan did just that--and you all couldn't spare a syllable to stop it then or condemn it now.

None of these high crimes and misdemeanors caused you to speak up--not even Obama's "ill-considered and unprecedented" Unconditional and Pre-Emptive Surrender to Iran.

Only the loss of John Brennan's security clearance stirs you to protest.

Only then do you find your collective voice.

Only when your Order of the Creased Pant-Leg Gentlemen's Club for Distinguished Alumni-perks are threatened. Meh.

You know what? Donald Trump is doing the job you refused to do. Brennan has gone rogue and none of you--not one--has the guts to say so. Only Donald Trump.

I'm sorry you've lost your way. But you have. Thank you for your previous service. Go back to sleep now. We'll manage without you. We're used to it.

Sincerely, 

America

ps: And thank you President Trump for serving and defending America today.

Somebody's got to do it for a change.
