We reported yesterday on how the execrable John Brennan melted down over the assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fahrizade, the man who had allegedly been behind their secret nuclear program.

Now, you would think that such an act against our enemies would elicit favorable response.

But Brennan and the Obama bros who have always stood up for Iran were not at all happy. Brennan even was upset over the killing of Soleimani who had just been behind the effort to take over the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and who was behind the killing of countless Americans.

This was a criminal act & highly reckless. It risks lethal retaliation & a new round of regional conflict.
Iranian leaders would be wise to wait for the return of responsible American leadership on the global stage & to resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits. https://t.co/0uZhyBTM3S

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called him out for it.

It’s bizarre to see a former head of the CIA consistently side with Iranian zealots who chant “Death to America.”

And reflexively condemn Israel.

Does Joe Biden agree? https://t.co/H38OB1ejCr

That prompted a nasty response from Brennan. He told Cruz he was “lawless” and “simple-minded,” two things that definitely don’t apply to Cruz, but do apply to Brennan himself.

It is typical for you to mischaracterize my comment. Your lawless attitude & simple-minded approach to serious national security matters demonstrate that you are unworthy to represent the good people of Texas. https://t.co/93WwclgAtS

Brennan’s CIA infamously spied on Congress and broke into their computers. Brennan lied about it and was caught. But because it was the Obama administration who never prosecuted any of their own people, he never suffered any consequences for his actions.

He tried to argue that his tweet didn’t involve the Logan Act. Yet, the Obama administration tried to hang that on Flynn for essentially the same statement.

In contrast, an individual tapped to be National Security Advisor (but not yet one) in an incoming Administration who privately contacts a foreign government official & advises how to conduct relations with the U.S. could be in violation of the Logan Act.

My commitment to Israel’s security & my efforts to counter Iran’s malign activities are well documented throughout my 33 years of national security work serving Republican & Democratic Administrations.

Aside from his tiresome rhetoric, what has Senator Cruz ever done?

— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) November 28, 2020

Brennan of course is slinging bull. There’s nothing in the Logan Act that says it doesn’t apply to private citizens. And indeed, it’s perfectly normal for an incoming national security adviser to start making contacts with the people with whom he is going to be dealing, exactly like the Russian ambassador. Indeed, Joe Biden, who hasn’t been officially declared president yet is doing exactly that, bragging that he’s talking to foreign governments and in the process, dinging the present administration. That of course is exactly what he, Biden, tried to hang Flynn over according to the reports. But these folks are nothing if not hypocritical.

But Ted Cruz had a couple of Cruz missiles left and he fired them at Brennan.

Gosh, I touched a nerve.
Facts matter.

FACT 1: you’ve admitted, in 1976 you voted for the Communist candidate for President because, I guess, Jimmy Carter wasn’t liberal enough for you.

FACT 2: you gave $150 Bn to Ayatollah Khamenei, knowing it would be used to kill Americans. https://t.co/zKYGTaqov0

Boom, target engaged and obliterated.
