As Twitchy has reported, former CIA director and Resistance darling John Brennan was triggered by President Trump’s demand that the Justice Department look into whether the FBI infiltrated or surveilled the Trump campaign, and tweeted that Republican congressional leadership would “bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy” if they didn’t move to stop him.

Plenty of people answered Brennan’s tweet, including former CIA official Bryan Dean Wright, who laid into Brennan as a “political hack.”

Once the #FBI #IGReport is public, the sword of justice will begin swinging. You & the people who dishonored our proud services will not escape. Your protests will then be seen for what they are: a PR campaign designed to incite panic & sow doubt. Your day of judgment is coming https://t.co/jgw7J66QAT — Bryan Dean Wright (@BryanDeanWright) May 20, 2018

Boom.

Were you at the CIA during Brennan’s tenure? — Lanette Williams (@MissouriSenior) May 20, 2018

Yes, I worked w/ @JohnBrennan. We viewed him as a political hack w/ the operational mind of an earthworm. (He once said the CIA “doesn’t steal secrets.” Sums up his intellect nicely) His day of judgment is coming. And he knows it. His high-road tweets are an act. Justice awaits. https://t.co/GN4ysnbmQo — Bryan Dean Wright (@BryanDeanWright) May 21, 2018

The “operational mind of an earthworm?” Damn.

Everyone I know who worked w/ @JohnBrennan has the same view – a political hack who had his personal ambition as his only core value – he kept CIA from doing it's job to spy on foreign threats & used @CIA as part of the @BarackObama WH effort to target domestic political enemies https://t.co/CizWSlZAtB — Tony Shaffer (@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y) May 21, 2018

“I worked for Brennan down-range. One of the worst 6 months of my life. Total 100% political hack. Never underestimate a bureaucrat scorned. His word was not taken seriously at a pre-campaign meeting and he was not consulted further. End of story, they thought.” — The Tropical Cow (@Tropicow) May 21, 2018

Folks, Bryan Dean Wright is a Democrat who worked at CIA – who has been saying same thing I've been saying since 2014 about John Brennan. https://t.co/hUhhP8tNxd — EconChick/IntelChick (@MikayesFiona) May 21, 2018

Hope. A center-left alumnus of CIA willing to tell the truth. Brennan was a political hack. The true purpose of his appointment will come to light soon. Cicero he ain't.https://t.co/Utoe1oo0k2 https://t.co/DRudS0bx8h — Edmund Burke (@edmundpburke) May 21, 2018

Brennan, as viewed by those who worked for him . . . https://t.co/Xo4bRFekUQ — Paul David Henson (@PeeDee59) May 21, 2018

Probably won't be called as a character reference if Brennan stands trial for treason. https://t.co/SJVVohscuM — stefi (@stefiamico) May 21, 2018

This is awesome https://t.co/T0vLGXDZxl — Scott Shoffner (@ShoffVFL) May 21, 2018

Brennan's the laughingstock of the IC, as I've long written. https://t.co/yVPcOS8biT — Mícheál Breathnach (@dkahanerules) May 21, 2018

Yeah, a lot of GS management could be described this way. After draining the swamp, we need to power wash the walls to get the stench out. After 17 years at 26 Fed, NYC, I know of what @BryanDeanWright speaks. Indict Brennan and Clapper, see who flips first. https://t.co/7UUf9He8kJ — Pete Meyer (@Wysiwygats) May 21, 2018

Objection:

I thought reason and moderation was what @BryanDeanWright was about. Now I see “swords of justice” and earthworm in other tweets. There’s better, less damaging, more engaging ways of making arguments. But they won’t get 6k retweets. — polylem (@polylem) May 21, 2018

Men like @JohnBrennan & @Comey have violated their oaths and wrapped their treachery in high minded values that they do not possess. When faced w/ their assaults, our restraint is replaced by a passion for justice. These men must be held to account. Our democracy depends on it. https://t.co/9KtnNcoOy2 — Bryan Dean Wright (@BryanDeanWright) May 21, 2018
