letter from harry reid to the fbi that was used as a predicate to spy on the trump team. we are supposed to trust this guy? this guy should get off twitter and hire a lawyer. tucker: i thought we were supposed to be impressed by him. i thought the heads of our intel agencies are so visited and intelligent. o everything i ve read by it s banal, cliche, pompous, stupid. doesn t seem like an impressive person. how did he run the most powerful intel agency in the world? i m not sure. when i worked in the white house, i remember crossing paths with brennan and found him to be a narcissistic fool, just like he is now. this man really is a disgrace and the stain on the united states whose legacy will only be a cautionary tale told to future cia leaders about how not to act. tucker, keep in mind too, far back as 2015, left-wing reporters because they thought they had a trump cushion conspiracy which never existed, were reporting on brennan s contacts with foreign intel about trump and

senator mark udall called on brennan to resign but obama protected brennan. let s not forget brennan was caught lying last year on the steele dossier. director brennan, do you know who commissioned the steele dossier? i don t. did the cia rely on it? no. why not? because we didn t. it was not anyway used as a basis for the intel community assessment that was done. laura: [laughs] every time i hear that. in fact, two former intel chiefs, jim clapper and mike rogers, they disputed brennan s claims that the dossier was not part of their assessment. rogers in a letter to congress and brennan last october on cnn. some of the content of the dossier, we were able to cooperate in the intelligence community assessment. laura: given brennan s history of lying and obscure ob
