  1. He has a heavy, ponderous way of expressing himself that lends a false credibility. He's one of the main reasons that so many news outlets still feel they can look their viewers in the eye and say "Russia" at the same time. The standard set by Woodward and Bernstein for confirmation was met and exceeded, when you consider so many highly placed officials - with Brennan topping the list - saying the most damaging things. They probably had 18 or 20 Deep Throats all seeming to say the same thing. And it wasn't men in trench coats meeting in a downtown D.C. parking garage. It was 5 or 6 of them at a cocktail party, making wisecracks and exchanging meaningful glances to say without saying, and feed the "Yeah, EVERYbody's in on this, and our Top People say it's gonna go THIS way." It wasn't a matter of fact. It was a matter of culture. And Brennan can spin this for quite awhile, yet, just by dropping dark hints and veiled threats, without being arrested. If he can say those things and continue walking free without being seen by ALL as either a malicious liar, or the most incompetent DCI in memory.

  2.  @Kymerican  : I think it's "Tennant." I've forgotten most of what I remember reading about Tennant. But yes. It does appear that Brennan was the ultimate coat-tail rider. He hitched his wagon to Tennant and earned rapid promotion. He has a ponderous habit of speech and he pushes things as far as he absolutely can, at every opportunity. Good for a climber. But if this Kiriakou fellow is correct (His animus towards Brennan must be understood.), then Brennan wasn't too swift when it came to intelligence. Obvious political hack appointment. I can see that, given how he says absolutely the most damaging thing he possibly can, and people believe he knows something. Even after Mueller says "No joy" on indictments, Brennan can keep on his same line, claiming to know something nobody else knows that he can't TELL you, but he KNOWS. He's been playing that card ever since Trump was elected. I don't see anything acting to stop him, so far, but I think he was discredited as DCI long before Trump came along, and had all the telltales of a political-hack promotion-and-appointment.
