Intelligence -- or -- The Lack Of Intelligence

Three days ago, John Brennan the former Communist who was the head of the CIA under president Obama, announced to Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC that the Mueller report would be forthcoming yesterday along with a batch of final indictments by the special prosecutor.  Brennan also predicted that Mueller would indict a member of the Trump family and that the President would fire him in response.

Well, yesterday has come and gone and there were no reports or indictments.  Brennan, who headed our biggest intelligence agency, did what he usually did at the CIA:  he got it all wrong.  It's not surprising.  This is a guy who missed what Iran was doing regarding its nuclear program.  This is a guy who missed what North Korea was doing regarding its nuclear program.  This is a guy who missed what Russia was doing regarding an invasion of Ukraine.  This is a guy who advised president Obama that ISIS was no real threat to anyone.  This is a guy who missed Russian interference in the 2016 election (although to be fair, the lion's share of credit for that mistake goes to Jim Comey over at the Obama FBI).

The truth is that under Brennan, the CIA should have been called a lack of intelligence agency.
