Disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan slammed President Donald Trump on Friday, claiming that the President’s claim that he knew about/participated in a coup in an attempt to overthrow the government.
“I don’t think it’s surprising at all that we continue to hear the sociopathic ramblings of Mr. Trump claiming that there was this effort to try to prevent him from being elected or to unseat him,” Brennan told MSNBC host Hallie Jackson.
Fox News reports:
Trump specifically criticized Brennan, along with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, in the fiery interview.
His comments followed the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s report which stopped short of accusing the president of either obstruction of justice or collusion with Russia.
Brennan added he welcomed further investigation into his and other officials’ conduct while they served in government.
“I’ve testified in front of Congress … Absolutely, I’ll do it again,” he said.
Brennan also disputed Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., claim that he “insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report.”
“That’s absolutely incorrect and 180 degrees from the truth.
It was CIA that was pushing not to have it included and not to be taken into account at all in that intelligence community assessment.”

The Gateway Pundit reports, “Brennan is nervous because his fingerprints are all over Spygate and we now have a real Attorney General who believes spying did occur during the 2016 election.
Brennan perjured himself in a May 2017 testimony when he said that he did not include Hillary’s phony dossier in the IC report.
There is plenty of evidence to the contrary and Brennan should be asked to testify under oath to Congress ASAP.”
