Robert Spencer video: John Brennan and others charging Trump with “treason” are the real traitors

Aug 16, 2018 11:35 am By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss the controversy that followed the press conference between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and shows that those who were charging that the President had committed treason had turned a blind eye to actual treason by Barack Obama.

    Abraham Lincoln was clearly the most divisive president, since the Civil War began almost immediately after his election. It was fought because Republicans wanted to take away the Democrats’ slaves.

    Trump wants to take back the American economy from foreign bankers and companies. Already, the American economy has more than doubled its growth rate to 4.1% .

    Brennan sees this as a BIG PROBLEM … economic prosperity … and he wants to stop it!

    Anyone who wants to stop America’s current prosperity is clearly out of touch with reality.

      Brennan calling anyone a traitor is a twisted joke !
      He voted for a Communist Party candidate in 1976, while the Cold War was still on, no wonder he’s against capitalism and prosperity, except his own prosperity at tje gov’t trough….

          And likewise the “democratic” socialists openly running on a collectivist platform aren’t total idiots pushing for the same disastrous lunacy that has infected and ruined so many failed states and brought so many the pleasure of dictatorship and economic collapse ?
          I’ve been strongly opposed to socialism since long before i ever heard of Horowitz, because i understand how horrible the Soviet Union, Red China and all the catastrophes inspired by their insanity have been, and still are.
          Venezuela’s projected 1 million % inflation rate is the direct and inevitable result of their experiment in “democratic socialism”, and the Dems are now following their exact footsteps.
          If you prefer socialism, move to Cuba or Venezuela or Nicaragua.

      So why does Clinton and Huma still have a clearance? Best I know they had Top Secrete State Department classified Info mixed in with da Wieners Kiddie porn on his lap top. All three should be in jail for that alone, but at least 2 still have their clearances the best I know!

  3. Westman says

    Aug 16, 2018 at 11:55 am

    Thank goodness Brennan has lost his “license to leak” security clearance.

    The former department and agency heads should all have them removed after a reasonable transition to new personnel is completed.

    The current trading on inside access by former officials is a corruption of good government and serves only those officials, corrupt corporations, and the nations enemies. People who trade inside classified information for monetary reward were traditionally given the name spy.

  4. Kilfincelt says

    Aug 16, 2018 at 12:06 pm

    Couldn’t agree more and said so prior to Obama’s run for a second term. Furthermore, Brennan and others who are designated to lose their security clearance by Trump were involved in purging all references to Islam that the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) found offensive from the training materials for the CIA, FBI, military, and the rest of our security forces. The MB is known terrorist organization and has been designated as such by several Arabic countries. Also, according to an editorial comment in Front Page Magazine, Susan Rice issued a stand down order with regard to Russian cyber attacks during the 2016 election. Further, under the Obama administration, a number of complex rules had been established and had to be followed before the U.S. could use cyber attacks. Based on all this, I would suggest that Obama colluded with the Russians to try and improperly influence the 2016 presidential election as well as damage our overall security. Thus, these actions and the Iran shenanigans lead me to believe that Obama and his minions were the real traitors because they were aiding and abetting the our enemies.

      There is no hard evidence that he convert to Islam at all. The only one who is makeing that claim is one former discredited fbi agent who is than Islamoprobic.

      • mortimer says

        Aug 17, 2018 at 10:26 am

        If Brennan converted to Islam in the presence of Saudi secret agents, would you expect them to take photos and publish them in the NYT? No, you would not.

        Brennan swore his oath of office on the US constitution, rather than on the Bible.

    Not sure I understand the treason of Obama. This was an international deal involving the UN security council countries and the EU. As part of that deal Iran got its own money back (its assets frozen in international banks).

    So all those countries are taken over by traitors because they agreed that Iran can have access to its own money? of course not.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Aug 16, 2018 at 1:40 pm

      I have always thought he violated the law by signing a treaty with a foreign power without the advice and consent of the Senate. What he did was illegal. He should have been impeached. The agreement Obama made with Iran was just between Iran and Obama ….. not between Iran and the United States.

      • Don McKellar says

        Aug 16, 2018 at 2:03 pm

        This should be an impeachable offense. Otherwise it gives the President virtually unlimited powers to be in league with foreign governments.

      • lebel says

        Aug 16, 2018 at 2:55 pm

        My understanding is that it’s not a treaty but an executive agreement which is legal.

        • CogitoErgoSum says

          Aug 16, 2018 at 3:08 pm

          What I find in Wikipedia concerning executive orders (look under topic Executive Order):

          The United States Constitution does not have a provision that explicitly permits the use of executive orders. The term executive power in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution is not entirely clear. The term is mentioned as direction to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” and is part of Article II, Section 3. The consequence of failing to comply could possibly be removal from office.[4][5]

          The U.S. Supreme Court has held[6] that all executive orders from the President of the United States must be supported by the Constitution, whether from a clause granting specific power, or by Congress delegating such to the executive branch.[7] Specifically, such orders must be rooted in Article II of the US Constitution or enacted by the congress in statutes. Attempts to block such orders have been successful at times when such orders exceeded the authority of the president or could be better handled through legislation.[8]

          The Office of the Federal Register is responsible for assigning the executive order a sequential number after receipt of the signed original from the White House and printing the text of the executive order in the daily Federal Register and Title 3 of the Code of Federal Regulations.[9]

          Obama did not take care that the Laws of the United States were faithfully executed and instead superseded the requirements of the Constitution with his “executive order.”

          Lebel

          The Iran deal is a treaty disguised as an executive agreement. You should be familiar with things that are not what they are called. Think of Satan being called God. Or as you call him, Allah.

          Iran’s own money? Sure. PJI at 10% and not a dime Set Off for the hostage taking of 53 Americans for 440 days.

        • Wellington says

          Aug 16, 2018 at 9:21 pm

          Your understanding, Lebel, is the “received wisdom,” but anyone who truly knows the American Constitution, American law, American history AND possesses common sense, knows full well that Obama passed off his putrid, stupid and obsequious deal with the Iranian regime as an executive order when it clearly should have been a treaty requiring a 2/3 majority in the Senate (which Obama knew full well he would never have gotten).

          But then Obama did many other horrible things like lying about Benghazi, using the IRS to “investigate” only conservative groups, lying about keeping your health care system and your doctor, selling the Czechs and Poles down the river on missile defense, regularly and profusely apologizing for America to all the world, bowing to the Saudi King, stoking racial resentment in the US, co-sponsoring with Egypt UN Resolution 16/11 which would, in effect, criminalize criticism of religion, erroneously getting basic facts wrong again and again (examples being confusing Memorial Day with Veterans Day and referring to “Austrian” as a language), and making excuses again and again for the worst religion ever created by man, i.e., Islam, et al.

          So, Lebel, you want to argue what Obama did with that pathetic and pusillanimous deal with the old mullah bastards who have run Iran into the ground as something legal, you go right ahead because once again it reveals quite well your overall mindset—and overall ignorance.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 16, 2018 at 6:26 pm

      Of course Lebel wants to see an nuclear-enabled Iran, and for Iran to use their ill-gotten gains to threaten their neighbors.

    • VRWC member77 says

      Aug 16, 2018 at 6:52 pm

      You really do hate America. Technically for good or bad, a lot of that money – monetary assets that Carter froze – personally belonged to the Shah. So the present theocratic regime never had any legal claim to much of it.

      Since you hate America you can’t fathom the idea that technically we’re STILL in a state of conflict with Iran, a state of war. They killed many American troops through IEDs in Iraq. That’s an act of war. But the mullahs have been able to get a leg up on the conflict as a result of the kumbaya COWARD obama utilizing his traits of arrogance, ignorance and incompetence. If Trump set up a blockade throughout the Persian gulf he could justify it just by the items I’ve pointed to. Keep on with the hate America so you can be more easily identified for jihad fodder.

    First,a man’s actual character is known not only by who he has as friends but also by who he has as enemies .Therefore this helps explain why the jihadists, the leftists As John Brennan and also those who compose the ACLU, the Marxists, the anarchists and the jihadists all hate for President Trump with a passion . This is strong evidence that Donald Trump is the right man to be President of this nation. . In other words, those all those characters just mention terrible detest Mr. Trump not only serves as a good compliment to him but this also reveals that Donald Trump must be an all American patriot..

    Second, there is a left wing witch hunt against the President. It’s vicious, malicious and hate filled. It’s not based on reason or logic but pure malice-filled spite. It likewise contains the strong spirit of anti-Americanism within its very essence. This heinously hateful left wing movement might only lead the USA to division, disunity and may even some kind a national disaster. This spiteful division movement of the left is awful. All this also is, somewhat, of a reminder of the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson. Who had declared “A nation united can never be conquered.”

    Third, John Brennan and his like-minded Left wing comrades must have the “chicken little” syndrome concerning President Trump. For about the President ,they keep on frantically and emotionally running around yelling out “The sky is falling.”

  11. Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says

    ==QUOTE== David Horowitz offered a note of sanity, saying, “US intelligence agencies like the CIA headed by John Brennan who voted for Communist party head during the Cold War, and launched the Russia-Collusion witchhunt, and Comey’s FBI.” ==UNQUOTE==

    How is this a note of sanity? It is not even a complete sentence. Where is the main verb in what Horowitz said?

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Aug 16, 2018 at 4:18 pm

      Lebel, I don’t have access rights to read the publication in your link. It’s probably interesting. My understanding is that the Executive Branch of the US Government is supposed to see that the laws passed by the Legislative Branch are carried out and enforced. The members of the Executive Branch have the authority to write rules and regulations that are in accordance with whatever Law they are charged with enforcing. Anything that goes beyond what is allowed or prohibited by the law is subject to dispute by any citizen and may be taken before the Judicial Branch for a decision as to whether or not a law and its related rules and regulations are in adherence with the provisions of the Constitution.

      I imagine there have been times when certain laws, rules and regulations have been out of alignment with the Constitution but nobody has challenged them. Still, saying “that’s the way we’ve always done it” does not make something right. It just means you’ve always been doing things wrong …. and sometimes the people in charge think it’s too much trouble now to change and start doing things the right way.

      • lebel says

        Aug 16, 2018 at 6:08 pm

        CogitoErgoSum, I am not an expert on the subject so I’ll leave it at that. My main point here is that Obama is being unfairly attacked for the Iran deal. I believe that most of Obama’s critics here are simply not objective. In other words, the problem is not the action in itself, it’s who does it.

        I am not saying this is your case but I believe it is certainly the case for many jihadwatchers (and Obama haters in general). Of course the same could be said for the left on certain topics.

    It is truly amazing that such ignorant and stupid people can get such high profile and important positions in the government.

    brennan, whose security clearance has been revoked….why did he still have it/…called the revoking un-.
    Constitutional, claiming it infringes on his “freedom of speech,” is such an ignorant one.
    A security clearance is for those who are working with sensitive or classified, or top secret, etc. information. One may be a scientist, a military person, or someone in the offices of the government.
    Since he is no longer in a position as he was before Mr. Trump was elected, he no longer has the right of being in the circle of those given information that should stay secure.

    Frontpage has a great article on this subject and a short list of others who have already, or probably soon will have, their security clearances revoked.

    If brennan doesn’t even understand the difference in a “security clearance” and the “freedom of speech,” then he’s as stupid as he is ugly.

    Defending Trump just because he shares your opinion on the threat posed by Islam is agonizingly painful to those of us who admire your scholarship, but have a low opinion of Trump. I submit you would do well to stick to your area of expertise. When you venture into an area unrelated to your expertise, such as this commentary on the pending Mueller investigation and proceedings surrounding Trump’s idiot Helsinki remarks, you lose credibility. At least with some of your readers, this one included.
    Would you have defended the critics of Nixon during the Watergate scandal just because he believed Iran was anti-American?

    Aug 17, 2018 at 4:48 pm

    The lawful penalty for Treason is death. Brennan called President Trump a “traitor” which was a sly way for him to call for the President’s death. Slandering a President (not to mention, calling for his death) for simply meeting with a rival head of state is a form of sedition (actually fomenting treason) and anyone doing so should not retain a security clearance to be able to access top secret national security files – especially anyone who already has a history of leaking top secret national security documents to the enemedia!

  20. David Darman says

    Aug 17, 2018 at 10:29 pm

    Trump was lambasted not because he simply met with Putin, but because he derided the CIA and FBI and all other intelligence / security officers by publicly siding with Putin on the issue of Russian meddling into the election.
    What top secret documents did Brennan leak ?
