I have one basic rule. Anytime John Brennan is upset about something, you know it’s good for the United States.
As we reported earlier, “someone,” likely the Israelis, took out out Iran’s top nuclear scientist, the father of their military nuclear program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Now at a time when there’s a possibility that Joe Biden might come in and re-up the Iran Deal and throw open the doors to all Iran’s predations once again, it’s not hard to imagine that someone might be trying to head off more possible Iranian nuclear build-up. That they did it because they knew that Biden would likely endanger everyone in the area cosying up to Iran and letting them get away with everything once again.
That’s why John Brennan was so completely infuriated, he knows the effort was to head off empowering Iran and that steams him, big time. Check this out. Have you ever seen him this upset about any actions against the United States? I daresay not.
Putting the terrorist mullahs in check by is a “criminal act,” according to John. Sorry for your loss.
This was a criminal act & highly reckless. It risks lethal retaliation & a new round of regional conflict.
Iranian leaders would be wise to wait for the return of responsible American leadership on the global stage & to resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits. https://t.co/0uZhyBTM3S— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) November 27, 2020
But apparently, bending over for them and sending pallets of cash to keep the terrorist mullahs in power isn’t.
I do not know whether a foreign government authorized or carried out the the murder of Fakhrizadeh. Such an act of state-sponsored terrorism would be a flagrant violation of international law & encourage more governments to carry out lethal attacks against foreign officials.

These assassinations are far different than strikes against terrorist leaders & operatives of groups like al-Qaida & Islamic State, which are not sovereign states. As illegitimate combatants under international law, they can be targeted in order to stop deadly terrorist attacks.

Is he kidding? No, he isn’t. He’s running down taking out the leading agent of a terrorist state. Of course, he was against taking out another Iranian enemy who had just attacked us too, Qassem Soleimani.
Oh you really are something 👇👇👇 Iran is the worlds top state sponsor of terror and you assisted in aiding/abetting the enemy with the Iran deal – how much money did the Obama admin turn over to the regime? Sad and criminal were those actions 👇👇👇 https://t.co/RWxqakzzHu

John Brennan is on the other side, folks. https://t.co/Z98G9BiPWr

John Brennan is against assassinating people without trial now? It's a Thanksgiving Miracle.

Let’s also look at what John Brennan just said. Does it sound like a Logan Act question to you?

This, ironically, is *exactly* the message that Flynn gave to Russia during the 2016 transition — hey, guys, don’t get crazy with retaliation: wait until we’re in power shortly and things will be different.
Maybe the FBI should investigate Brennan for Logan Act violations? https://t.co/W6ltqKpsw9

Some enterprising journalist should ask John Brennan if this tweet constitutes a Logan Act violation by John Brennan according to the standards articulated over the last four years by John Brennan. pic.twitter.com/N3aLFHXcCB

Surely sounds far worse than anything that Obama/Biden tried to pin on Gen. Michael Flynn.
Not to mention that Obama admin, the one Brennan was in, did things like take down governments in Libya and drone kill Americans, including 16 year old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.
Some took off the gloves on Brennan.
It’s bizarre to see a former head of the CIA consistently side with Iranian zealots who chant “Death to America.”
And reflexively condemn Israel.
Does Joe Biden agree? https://t.co/H38OB1ejCr

Flip the politics of John Brennan and Mike Flynn, and Brennan is dying in a Gitmo cell.

Nothing happened to Brennan when the CIA was caught spying on Congress and he was caught lying about it because Obama administration. One of the many many scandals that they skated.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) finished Brennan off.
You are a walking, talking danger to America & our allies – but at least you’re open here about saddling up with Iran. Perhaps you can personally deliver $400 million this time instead of dropping it on a runway… #StandUpForAmerica #StandWithIsrael https://t.co/MSUwmqEkED
