Chilling quote from John Brennan

“I try to be careful with the language that I use. When people ask me questions, for example, about why is Mr. Trump so submissive to Vladimir Putin, and whether or not Mr. Trump fears that the Russians have something on him, I say, I don’t know. Perhaps. Maybe. I just don’t want to get into details about what I know or don’t know. I have to be very mindful of my obligations as far as classified material is concerned.”

— Former CIA Director John Brennan, quoted by the New York Times.

When asked by a twitter user what Pootie had on Dump, he alluded that he knew what he had on Dump and it was so extreme it would almost be unbelievable.

I am betting something very horrible sex related.

Something they suckered him into, that which he could not resist.

Certainly a planned and orchestrated setup.

Something involving way too young participants, perhaps ?

Even the Deplorables couldn't stomach Roy Moore. Well, most couldn't.

Ugh, how did we get here ?

Murder, treason, selling national secrets. Something big like that.

John Brennan is very carefully parsing his words. He is being asked about tRump's state of mind and naturally Brennan can only speculate on that. The fact that Brennan mentions not wanting to get into details, and being mindful of classified material seems to indicate that there is credible dirt on tRump.

Nance,to all at once go rogue and name names. Best bet,it will happen on a Pod Cast.

The Agencies will bury Trump so deep that they will have to pump in daylight.

Trump is obviously submissive to Putin, that is scary.

... is my gut feeling that when all is revealed about Trump and his cohorts, it's going to be really, really bad - and the evidence is going to be as overwhelming as it is irrefutable.

The only question now is who else will be going down with Trump, aside from the obvious suspects like family and friends. And I'm pretty sure whoever they are, they're among the PTB in the Republican party.

The panicked way they are obstructing justice makes that clear. They have skin in the game.

In context, I'm sure that wasn't by accident on his part. Which I find quite telling in a frightening way.

Comrade Spanky* just acts like a domme to try and make himself feel good about how shitty and cowardly he really is. Just ask Stormy.
