Obama’s CIA Director Makes BIZARRE Threat If Trump Wins The Presidency



via:CT

It would seem to be a fairly safe assumption to say that if presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wins the election, CIA Director John Brennan will not be continuing in his role in the new administration.
Brennan, who has already expressed his distaste for Trump, doubled down on his opposition to the candidate‘s suggestions that he would bring back interrogation techniques like waterboarding to use against captured terrorists in the fight against radical Islamic jihadism.
According to The Hill, in remarks delivered to the Brookings Institute on Wednesday, Brennan declared, “I’m not going to be the director of CIA that gives that order. I think they’re going to need to find another director.”

Despite the director’s adamant refusal to follow hypothetical orders from the next president relating to the use of waterboarding, he nevertheless defended the effectiveness of the practice when it was used during the Bush administration.
“The agencies’ detention and interrogation program, I believe, was instrumental in keeping this country safe in the aftermath of 9/11,” he said, according to The Hill. “There were individuals that were subjected to these (enhanced interrogation techniques) that subsequent to that provided information that was in fact credible and worthwhile for pursuit.”
It is worth noting that President Barack Obama classified waterboarding as “torture” in a 2009 executive order that was subsequently included into the following year’s National Defense Authorization Act, which bans the U.S. government from using torture on prisoners or detained enemy combatants.

It is also worth noting that the next president could just as easily declassify waterboarding as “torture” simply by revoking Obama’s executive order, effectively returning waterboarding to the toolbox of acceptable interrogation techniques, albeit on the “enhanced” and extreme end of the spectrum typically reserved for the worst of the worst in high-stakes situations.
“I know that there has been calls for waterboarding or worse or whatever else,” Brennan said, seemingly as a response to Trump. “As long as I’m the director of CIA, we are not going to go down that road again.”
The position of CIA director is one that has no specified term and is appointed by the president. Directors serve at the pleasure of the president and can be summarily dismissed for any reason or no reason at all, if the president so chooses.

Just in case unindicted presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton continues to stumble her way through the campaign and fails to stop Trump from winning the election, Brennan may consider getting his resume ready to go job hunting, as he will most likely not be serving in his current role in a Trump administration.

A lil more Brennan stupidity:  

What Obama’s CIA Dir. Said After Istanbul Should Have Him Fired NOW


Proving once again that they don’t understand the concerns or thought process of “regular” people, or maybe that they simply think we are all stupid, President Barack Obama’s CIA director just declared the recent Brexit decision to be of greater consequence than radical Islamic terrorism or the unchecked Muslim migration into Europe that has provided cover for such attacks.
According to The Daily Caller, CIA Director John Brennan addressed the decidedly globalist Council on Foreign Relations Wednesday, where he expressed the great trouble he felt over the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union for the greener pastures of independence.
“Of all the crises the EU has faced in recent years, the U.K. vote to leave may well be its greatest challenge,” Brennan proclaimed. “Brexit is pushing the EU into a period of introspection that will pervade virtually everything the EU does in the coming weeks, months, and even years ahead.”

As to the recent terrorist attack on an airport in Istanbul, Turkey, in which three suicide bombers bearing guns killed more than 40 and wounded more than 200 individuals, Brennan expressed his condolences for the families of the victims of the radical jihadists.
“The despicable attack at Istanbul’s international airport yesterday that killed dozens and injured many more certainly bears the hallmarks of ISIL’s depravity,” he added, using the Obama administration’s preferred acronym for the barbaric terrorist organization.
The Istanbul attack did indeed “bear the hallmarks” of the Islamic State group, as the method and tactics bore similarities to the recent shooting and bombing attacks in Paris and Brussels, among other locations.

It is worth noting that the lax border controls and immigration policies foisted upon the continent of Europe by the EU bureaucrats in Brussels played a major role in creating an environment in which radical Islamic jihadists can flourish, recruit, plot and launch their murderous attacks, seemingly at will.
But apparently, in the eyes of CIA Director Brennan, the British people reclaiming their sovereignty and placing their security and self-interest above that of the EU, and the fact that similar referendum movements were spreading in other EU member nations, is a greater threat to the globalist world order than bloodthirsty terrorists bent on slaughtering any and all who disagree with their seventh-century worldview.

A rather telling admission on his part, if you ask me.
