John Brennan implicitly denied some claims about a special briefing he made in the NYT.
A day after making the incorrect claim that the IC couldn’t have leaked the Trump dossier because it was already out in the public domain, John Brennan is now making further claims to emphasize his plausible deniability.
After several notable Friday night news dumps about what the CIA thinks or plans to do in response to Russia’s hack of our election, John Brennan did an NPR interview — which largely aired on Friday — that said some remarkable things about CIA’s commitment to the principles of democracy.
CIA totally stomped on President Obama’s last press conference today. Who says Vladimir Putin is the only one who is good at Information Operations?
Both James Clapper and John Brennan appeared at the Aspen Security Forum this week (it was Brennan’s first appearance, apparently). As I may lay out, Clapper was by far the more measured of the two. But this exchange, between Brennan and Dina Temple-Raston, deserves more attention. She notes that ISIS gets credit for attacks (she […]
The Brennan Center released a report on EO 12333 Thursday that aims to spark a debate about the privacy impacts of (just) NSA’s surveillance overseas, in part by describing the privacy impacts of EO 12333.

But Brennan also said that there had been a significant increase in the operational security of terrorists and terrorist […]
In Salon, I’ve got my take on the hack of John Brennan’s AOL account by a 13-year old stoner. While I think it sucks that WikiLeaks posted unredacted data on Brennan’s family, I’m not at all sympathetic to Brennan himself. After all he’s the guy who decided hacking his SSCI overseers would be appropriate. He’s […]
Back in May, I noted that in addition to an unclassified request that John Brennan correct his lies about CIA hacking the Senate Intelligence Committee torture investigators, Ron Wyden, Martin Heinrich, and Mazie Hirono also asked Brennan to correct a lie he told in March. Additionally, we are attaching a separate classified letter regarding inaccurate […]
