There has come a day of reckoning for critics of President Trump in the wake of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report to Attorney General William Barr.
As Barr’s letter Sunday indicated that the report cleared the 2016 Trump campaign of any collusion with the Russian government, it also turned angry attention to those who have peddled the lies in the two-year “witch hunt,” as the president repeatedly called the probe, like House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and former CIA Director John Brennan.
ABC correspondent Terry Moran believes that Brennan, who has been a vocal critic of the president, has “a lot to answer for.”
John Brennan has a lot to answer for—going before the American public for months, cloaked with CIA authority and openly suggesting he’s got secret info, and repeatedly turning in performances like this. pic.twitter.com/EziCxy9FVQ

Moran tweeted his comments along with a video of Brennan’s MSNBC interview earlier this month making his predictions about Mueller’s report and suggesting he had some kind of inside information and that even members of Trump’s family could be in trouble.
Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept called out MSNBC for hiring the former intelligence official as a political analyst as the network fed its viewers “utter bullsh**” for two years.
You can’t blame MSNBC viewers for being confused. They largely kept dissenters from their Trump/Russia spy tale off the air for 2 years. As recently as 2 weeks ago, they had @JohnBrennan strongly suggesting Mueller would indict Trump family members on collusion as his last act: pic.twitter.com/nPlaq5YVxf

How – if you’re an MSNBC viewer (or consumer of similar online content) – can you not be angry & disoriented having been fed utter bullshit like this for 2 straight years with basically no dissent allowed? Just listen to what they were telling you to believe & how false it was ?

“Oh gosh – turns out that if you hire ex-CIA Directors to be ‘news analysts,’ they’ll abuse our airwaves to disseminate self-serving disinformation” – what MSNBC executives would be saying right now if they were honest & self-reflecting (and therefore aren’t saying): pic.twitter.com/4Iu4JAJ4mf

Pollster Frank Luntz agreed, calling out the “speculative nonsense” by Brennan and the fact that there has been no admission that the ex-CIA director “turned out to be laughably wrong.”
A prime example of cable news being more interested in affirming their audience’s views, rather than informing them.
Speculative nonsense by @JohnBrennan to fill the time bloc, with no acknowledgment from @Lawrence now that it’s turned out to be laughably wrong. https://t.co/DAeqPl8kRS

Brennan has frequently slammed Trump in unprofessional tweets and comments in interviews that seem surprising coming from a once CIA director. He was so sure, like many on the left, that Mueller’s investigation would lead to the president’s downfall.
Your cabal of unprincipled, unethical, dishonest, and sycophantic cronies is being methodically brought to justice. We all know where this trail leads. If your utter incompetence is not enough to run you out of office, your increasingly obvious political corruption surely will. https://t.co/S6DMeGICXZ

He was so wrong.
“I think I suspected there was more than there actually was,” he told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Monday.

And there are plenty calling for some consequences for Brennan and his ilk after all the hate and disinformation they peddled to the American people. White House press secretray Sarah Sanders told reporters Monday that if Congress “is so gung-ho to call people up to the Hill,” they should start with Brennan, fired FBI chief James Comey and former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper.
SARAH SANDERS:
– Calls for Comey, Clapper, Brennan, FBI leadership to be dragged before Congress for questioning
– Says they were “involved in the process of trying to take down the president” with an “absurd lie”
– Notes Russian interference occurred under the Obama Admin. pic.twitter.com/crkJ4JbO1B

If Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Power, Comey genuinely believed Trump “colluded” with Russia and he didn’t, what does that say about the judgement of our one-time top intel types?

Where are the apologies from Brennan, Clapper, @CNN, @MSNBC, @nytimes & @washingtonpost etc? (Let’s keep the list going.)
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) March 24, 2019
History will not be kind to Comey, Brennan, and Clapper. And it’s going to be downright devastating to Obama and Biden.

Brennan was head of the CIA.

John Brennan should be very nervous. https://t.co/JQeKGxKUyS

Clapper, Brennan, Comey, McCabe should never to considered credible natl SEC sources ever again. Their media contracts, hits ended. Every reporter who got it wrong by pushing the coup should face consequences. Mistakes happen but this shows that polit bias overtook objectivity. https://t.co/6Yopq9oxrA
