"I Will Speak Out Until Integrity Returns to the White House" by John Brennan

Former CIA Director John Brennan served and had direct personal contact with every president from George H. W. Bush to Barack Obama. He found that though they all had different policy approaches, strengths and weaknesses, they all shared two crucial traits: a basic human decency and a sincere desire to do what they felt was in the best interest of the American people, regardless of the politics involved. Never a partisan, Mr. Brennan was summoned to the White House "several hundred times" to bring intelligence, analysis and advice through many international crises and came to hold "respect, awe and admiration" for all of these men: George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

That makes Mr. Brennan's view of current President Donald Trump all the more important. In an editorial entitled, "I Will Speak Out Until Integrity Returns to the White House," Brennan finds in Trump a "demagogue" who presents a clear and present danger to the United States: a man given to "lying routinely to the American people without compunction," who formulates policy based on how it benefits himself rather than the country, who works to "intentionally fuel divisions in our country" and who attacks the Constitutional institutions established to preserve our democracy when they threaten to expose his misdeeds. Brennan finds these traits and motivations more in common with the "corrupt, incompetent and narcissistic foreign officials" he was often called upon to characterize to past American presidents than to any previous American leader. 

Read John Brennan's piece for yourself for a chilling view from a man of experience as to why this president is a danger to American security and freedom and a blot on an office he is unworthy to hold.
