Treason, Trust—and Trump
John Brennan’s allies worry his intemperate presidential criticism is backfiring.

So Rachel Maddow is now the voice of moderation on Donald Trump. Of course, it’s only by comparison to John Brennan. In an interview Friday on MSNBC, Ms. Maddow gently intimated that the former Central Intelligence Agency director might have gone too far in calling the president “nothing short of treasonous” for his Helsinki press conference with Vladimir Putin. Mr. Brennan backed away—but just a little.

“I didn’t mean that he committed treason,” Mr. Brennan said. Ms. Maddow pressed him, noting that treason is a “serious allegation” and saying “if we diagram the sentence, ‘nothing short of treasonous’ means it’s treason.”

By Sunday’s appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Mr. Brennan had shaken loose any qualifiers. When asked if he regretted his words, Mr. Brennan replied, “I called his behavior treasonous, which is to betray one’s trust and to aid and abet the enemy. And I stand very much by that claim.”

Mr. Trump’s decision last week to revoke Mr. Brennan’s security clearance drew predictable howls from the president’s opponents—and equally predictable defenses from his supporters. But the most interesting response has been from Brennan allies warning him that his intemperance may be backfiring.

Hey Mr. Brennan -

I think we can call YOUR behavior 'nothing short of treasonous' when you were in office there arsehole, because you blatantly betrayed our trust to aid and abet the Islamic enemies of Al Qaeda and ISIS.  You gave them aid and comfort and then covered up the crime done in Benghazi where you and Hildabeast with Obama's full knowledge were trading heavy weapons out of the Consulate to Syria's Islamic fighters opposed to Assad (that later became ISIS).

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching.
