Spy Fry

Spies are supposed to be slippery ... and is there anyone more opaque and shady than John Brennan who heads the CIA, our major spy organization? He has even stated that the US should not be spying on other countries! What, our spy organization, not spying on other countries? Are they just going to read foreign newspapers and write boring reports? (Something like what I do here.)

The CIA recently was known to be the source of the leak that Russia was supposedly hacking the Democrats' e-mails to help Trump get elected president ... a clear political move on the CIA's part. Why would the CIA allow itself to become so involved in such partisan nonsense? Perhaps because John Brennan is also an Obummer stooge?

I have written before about the clay feet that Brennan too often sports ... see: Connecting the Dots, Heads Should Roll, It's My CIA Now, Acolytes and I Spy Not (wherein Brennan questions the role of his agency). Could it be that Brennan is the one orchestrating these oblique attacks on Trump?

Now more information has come to my attention about Brennan's political and religious leanings ... see: American Thinker for some careful insights and, a little bit more sensationalized, yet also well researched, Intrepid Reporter. (Please read them ... they are engrossing.) Basically, the worrisome implication of these two pieces is that Brennan is a Muslim convert ... and a Wahhabist at that ... as a result of spending many years on post in Saudi Arabia. It is also speculated that he has drawn around him at the CIA other Muslims in positions of influence. This, to me, is quite disturbing ... and reinforces my suspicions about Obummer's too kind feelings toward the Religion of Peace.

For you liberals, I'll save you some time ... Snopes deems this speculation as UNPROVEN (see: Snopes) which, to me ... considering the current reputation of this lefty site, is as good as verifying things.

Russian Reset Button

Russia's Lavarov and Hellary with the Reset Button

This morning in his press conference, Donald Trump said that, if it were Russia who had hacked into the DNC e-mail server ... but it "could have been China" ... but, "if it were Russia" ... he thinks that it probably also had previously hacked the 33,000 e-mails that were scrubbed from Hellary's server well over a year ago. Trump then went on to say that, if this were so, he hopes that Russia could find them and release them.

Oh no! Trump, according to the Hellary Clinton attack machine, is "almost a traitor" for encouraging Russia to hack into her server! This is so inane and illogical that these attack dogs look like puppies who have just had accidents all over the convention floor ... and this is illogical for two reasons:

1) - You can't encourage Russia to do something today that could only have occurred way in the past. This, to grammarians, is called tense confusion. If Russia did hack Hellary's e-mail server, then the damage had already been long-ago done ... it is not yet to be done ... and therefore Trump couldn't possibly be committing treason. He just wants Russia to release them, if it has them.

2) - And since Hellary has sworn under oath that these 33,000 e-mails were personal and had nothing to do with State Department operations or state secrets ... they just dealt with planning Chelsea's wedding and her yoga lessons. If there were no state secrets in this batch, then again why would Trump be treasonous for this suggestion? More appropriately, if, like most of us suspect, these e-mails have a lot to do with the Clinton Foundation's international "pay for play" scams, then the world ... and, in particular, American voters ... surely should know this fact. And Russia releasing these E-mails would be doing American voters a favor.

Besides, it's not like Trump was selling 20% of America's uranium production to Russia,  he was just hitting the proverbial "Reset" button.

Afterward: Also read: The Left Discovers Russia and Krauthammer's Comments ... also this morning's NY Times had as a headline that Trump was encouraging Russia to spy (future tense) on his opponent. Anyone who buys this spin is a real media lemming.
